A lifestyle medical physician says she doesn't recommend New Year resolutions to her patients as she thinks they can often put more stress on people to succeed
Dr Kate McCann advises those who are starting new regimes on January 1st to seek expert guidance, set realistic targets and not to over-exert yourself too suddenly in any exercise, to avoid injury
"You don't have to make a New Year's Resolution. Many of my patients have to make changes because of health problems, and have chosen New Year's Day as their start date to reduce alcohol, quit smoking, go plant predominant or add in a new physical activity," she said.
