It’s never too early to start thinking about your New Year’s resolutions. This year, give yourself the gift that keeps on giving—your health. If you take steps to living healthy, whether that means losing weight, eating better, improving your fitness, or getting appropriate screenings like a mammogram, your 2017 will be the best year yet. Main Street Radiology provides state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services throughout Queens, New York. 

Here are four realistic health and wellness goals that you can stick to this upcoming year:

  • Quit Smoking: It’s one of the hardest habits to quit, but it’s one of the biggest hazards to your health. If you’re a smoker and are curious about the healthiness of your lungs, Main Street Radiology offers lung screenings using advanced technology that expertly evaluates pulmonary nodules.

  • mammogramLower Your Stress: If you stress a lot, it can affect more than your mental well-being. Chronic stress increases your risk of developing insomnia, depression, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. This year, avoid overscheduling and make time each day for activities you find relaxing, such as going on short walks or practicing yoga.

  • Know Your Numbers: Even if you feel generally okay, it’s helpful to have health tests and screenings done on a regular basis. Such tests including dental scans, virtual colonoscopies, mammograms, breast cancer screenings, and bone density testing, can alert you to potential health problems and catch them early when treatment is more effective. Talk to your health care provider about what procedures and screenings you should have done.

  • Fit In Fitness: Exercise is not only an excellent form of weight management, but it also leads to improved heart health, stress reduction, and increased energy. If you don’t have a regular exercise routine, start by setting aside 10 minutes each day for a brisk walk. Gradually add more activity each week until you’re regularly exercising 30 minutes a day.

Don’t wait until 2017 to get started on your healthy resolutions.
