Tips for New Years Eve Resolutions

26/11/2007

Pharmaceutical company Thornton Ross has published some suggestions for people looking for some health-based New Year’s Eve resolutions.
The company advises washing hands regularly to reduce the chance of catching colds and spreading viruses. Hands should be washed with soap and water especially after coming into physical contact with someone who is suffering with cold or flu.

Hectic schedules and busy lifestyle make finding the time to eat properly near impossible. Four in every ten people in the UK suffer from digestive discomfort. Make the time for healthy, nutritious meals.
Try not to smoke at this year’s New Year’s Eve party – or at all. Just eight hours after quitting, the nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the body are reduced by half.
Stress is a major factor affecting short term and long term health. Set time aside time each evening for a relaxing activity so the tensions of the day can be forgotten and will not disturb sleep. Sleeping badly makes getting through the day a struggle and affects your relationships, productivity and even your sex life.
Experts believe it is the quality rather than quantity of sleep we get that helps us wake up feeling refreshed each morning. Get into a regular routine of going to be and waking at the same time each day, avoid drinking caffeine at least 4 hours before sleep and turn your phone off each night to prevent any unwelcome disruptions.
