The Year of the Fire Monkey is upon us! According to the Chinese calendar, this is a time for adventure, discovery, change, and progress. With many risk-taking and challenges ahead, it’s best to watch over your health and well-being. The start of the year is also a time for new beginnings, where New Year’s resolutions are often made, either listed on paper or kept in the back of your mind. More often than not, these resolutions include goals to become healthier, more fit and happier. Amid the eagerness to follow new health programs, doctors also advise people to be cautious. “Consider the sources first before following any diet or fitness trend. Do not also forget to consult with your doctor to know exactly what is best for your body,” says Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre.
