As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to take stock of your habits. You don’t need influencer supplements, trendy diets, or pricey boutique fitness studios — just realistic goals and a few sustainable changes.

Novant Health experts are ready to help you start fresh, without the pressure.

Move your way

You don’t need an intense routine to make progress. Just 30 minutes of activity, three days a week — even a simple walk counts. Regular movement supports better sleep, healthy weight management, and lowers the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s.

Keep up with checkups

Annual doctor visits catch potential issues early and determine which screenings you need. Don’t have a provider yet? Novant Health can help you find the right fit and virtual visits are available 24/7 for care when you need it.

Eat for energy

Fad diets rarely stick. Balanced meals with plenty of protein and fiber work best. Novant Health weight loss specialists provide guidance to help you lose weight safely — and keep it off.

Make sleep your superpower

Good sleep sets the tone for your day. Establish a wind-down routine, limit screens before bed, and avoid late-night snacking. Novant Health offers resources for better rest.

Prioritize small self care moments

Even a few minutes of meditation, journaling, or stretching daily can reduce stress. For personalized guidance, Novant Health providers are here to support your health goals year-round. (this link was broken)
