As the new year approach­es, it’s a good time to estab­lish new goals for our­selves. When choos­ing a res­o­lu­tion to ben­e­fit or improve your health, it is rec­om­mend­ed you keep the health tri­an­gle in mind. The World Health Orga­ni­za­tion (WHO)1 defines health as the bal­ance of men­tal, phys­i­cal and social health, also known as the health tri­an­gle. Hav­ing a good bal­ance in all three areas is essen­tial to liv­ing a healthy lifestyle. Below, Dr. Sal­ly Salman, Inter­nal Med­i­cine, out­lines com­po­nents of the health tri­an­gle to help you deter­mine what your health res­o­lu­tions should focus on in the new year.

Men­tal Health

Almost every­one expe­ri­ences anx­i­ety and stress at some point in their life. How you han­dle and cope with tough sit­u­a­tions or set­backs can deter­mine whether you need to focus on this com­po­nent of the health tri­an­gle. Men­tal health can impact your phys­i­cal and social health as it can cause anti-social behav­iors and extreme feel­ings of fatigue. You may choose to seek pro­fes­sion­al help when faced with stress and anx­i­ety or sim­ply when you need sup­port when deal­ing with your feel­ings and emotions.

Men­tal health res­o­lu­tions can include:

Sched­ul­ing reg­u­lar ther­a­py or coun­sel­ing appointments

Start­ing a grat­i­tude journal

Prac­tic­ing mind­ful­ness when faced with anxiety

Find­ing a hob­by that helps ease your anx­i­ety (exer­cis­ing, paint­ing, etc.)

Phys­i­cal Health

Main­tain­ing good phys­i­cal health includes attend­ing year­ly well­ness check­ups and screen­ings. Ensur­ing you get at least 30 min­utes of phys­i­cal activ­i­ty a day and main­tain­ing a healthy body weight are a few ways med­ical pro­fes­sion­als can eval­u­ate your phys­i­cal health.

Phys­i­cal health res­o­lu­tions can include:

Attend­ing a work­out class­es or par­tic­i­pat­ing in exer­cise regularly

Lim­it­ing alco­hol to one to two drinks a week

Sched­ul­ing appoint­ments for all your health check­ups, screen­ings and vac­cines need­ed through­out the new year

Social Health

Your social health is deter­mined by your com­fort-lev­el when faced with social sit­u­a­tions. Social­ly healthy peo­ple feel com­fort­able join­ing in on con­ver­sa­tion and can adapt to new sit­u­a­tions when faced with changes. Your abil­i­ty to make new friends as well as main­tain friend­ships are also sig­nif­i­cant­ly impor­tant to good social health.

Social health res­o­lu­tions can include:

Vol­un­teer­ing once a month at the orga­ni­za­tion of your choice

Mak­ing small talk with your neigh­bor when­ev­er you see them

Meet­ing some­one new once a month

Call­ing a friend once a week

Before choos­ing a health-relat­ed res­o­lu­tion, check in with or seek advice from your med­ical professional. To learn more about how to be the health­i­est ver­sion of your­self for the new year, sched­ule an appoint­ment with one of our fam­i­ly med­i­cine physi­cians or our men­tal health pro­fes­sion­als at duly​healthand​care​.com/​s​c​h​edule.

What supplements help reduce prostate size?

The best-studied, most commonly used supplements to treat BPH are: Beta-sitosterol. Pygeum. Rye grass. Saw palmetto.

webmd.com - Do Supplements Help with BPH? Which Work Best? - WebMD

When you try to find the right supplements to treat a health condition, it can feel like a shot in the dark. You often have to count on word of mouth. But some men with BPH have found success with supplements. And there’s at least some scientific research to back them up. When you have BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), your prostate is larger than normal. It can cause problems such as a weak urine stream or a need to pee a lot throughout the day. Your doctor might suggest a prescription drug to treat your symptoms, but you might find that the side effects are too much to take. Or, you’d just rather not have to take medicine so often. The Issue with Supplements Supplements aren’t as closely regulated as medicines your doctor prescribes. That means their quality, safety, and effects can vary. It’s best to talk to your doctor before you start any supplement. They may cause problems with prescription medicines, treatments, or tests you might need.
