Alaskans have high rates of chronic health conditions. In 2023, health statistics show that nearly three out of four Alaskans face some sort of chronic health problem, according to the state Department of Health’s annual Alaska Chronic Disease Facts report.
A healthy 2024!
It’s January, the time of year when many people make New Year’s resolutions. Unfortunately, for some, these resolutions only last a month, or, for others, they remain wishful thinking. According to a 2023 study, 38% of adults make New Year’s resolutions each year, but only 9% manage to stick to them all year long.
It’s time to go beyond the fad and actually make it happen. The goal is to have a holistic approach throughout the year: start the year right, be consistent with the journey, and finish the year strong!
Start the year right
First things first, get started by getting tested and scheduling your annual wellness screening. Be proactive and give yourself a preventive healthcare assessment. It is important to know your overall health status first to help you maintain or improve your overall well-being.
Defining a specific and achievable goal is the next step in working towards your health and wellness. Establishing a routine or habit and setting a process are the most important aspects of achieving a goal. This is the most challenging for some, as it demands hard work and consistency to keep going. A good start is usually not enough; consistency is the key! Emphasize the journey and focus on progress rather than aiming for perfection.
