Whether you want to incorporate physical activity, choose to eat more nutritious food, or quit smoking, many people are looking for ways to create healthier habits. But sticking to New Year’s resolutions can be challenging without a plan.
If your goal is to quit tobacco or cut back on how much tobacco you use, consider talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
"There are seven different kinds of smoking medications to choose from that are proven to help with quitting smoking. They help reduce the urge to smoke or vape, especially for those tough first few days after stopping. Pharmacists in the community can help you find the right medication,” said the CEO of Pucci’s Pharmacy, Clint Hopkins.
If you are focusing on practicing healthy eating habits or increasing physical activity for the New Year, check out resources available through the
Sacramento County Obesity Prevention Program. You can find educational materials about healthy foods and tips on how to become more active.
The Sacramento County Obesity Prevention Program promotes nutrition education messages that can help support healthier eating choices in 2023 including:
- Focus on small changes
- Start simple, take it one day at a time
- Look for fun ways to eat at home more often
- Celebrate success
