Healthy, Happy, Holistic 2023
As a year-ender on health advice, we collated some of the best. Here are 5 health tips to get you started on your 2023 health goals.
1. Move More For a Stronger, Healthy Body
In the most basic sense, moving is living. So how much of it do we need to do to promote good health? In the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) own words:
“We know 150 minutes of physical activity each week sounds like a lot, but you don’t have to do it all at once. It could be 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. You can spread your activity out during the week and break it up into smaller chunks of time.”
While the World Health Organization (WHO) has some detailed recommendations depending on age and condition.
The good news is, you don’t need expensive equipment to get a good workout.

2. Eat Healthy
Eating healthy is easier said than done. Start by adding more natural foods versus processed. Reducing fats and eating more plants is where healthy lifestyle trends are getting traction, with many switching to plant-based burger and tacos rather than red meat.
Community Clinical Pharmacy provides you with the resources to prevent nutrient & vitamin deficiency when absorption through diet isn’t doing the job. Our pharmacists help you choose the right vitamins and supplements and if you’re looking to get an overall picture of your level at-home hormone tests are available for purchase.

3. Open Up for Mental Health
Caring for yourself and your mental wellness should be your #1 goal of 2023. Self-care can be almost anything. Coping with stress and anxiety in healthy ways can make all the difference
Natural supplements that help manage and reduce stress and anxiety are also available to help you improve your emotional and mental health.
There are a lot of ways to maintain positive mental health,and these include:
- Getting professional help if you need it – seeing a psychiatrist or any other mental health expert will help you get a sense of clarity in your life as you assess your mental and physical wellbeing
- Connecting with others – social connection enables you to regulate your emotions and boost your mood since you are giving yourself the chance to reach out or simply enjoy the company of others
- Staying positive – a positive outlook in life reflects in your mental and physical health since it allows you to look past the negative thoughts that will only cloud your mind
- Getting physically active – an active lifestyle does not only benefit your body, but also your mind. Staying active releases chemicals that makes you feel good and improve your overall mood.
- Helping others – there is also a positive effect in practicing thoughtfulness since it gives you a sense of fulfillment to help others. It also allows you to boost your confidence and self-esteem.
- Getting enough sleep – a foggy brain often results from lack of rest. Getting enough sleep or simply relaxing your mind through meditation allows you to get your much-needed pause from your hectic lifestyle.
- Developing coping skills – it is also important to develop your own coping mechanisms when dealing with the minor and major setbacks in your life since it develops resilience and allows you to strengthen yourself emotionally

4. Take Your Medications on Time
Taking your medication completely and on time can mean the difference in the results and consequently your health. A related issue that comes with non-compliance with medication is antimicrobial resistance or antibiotic resistance. It has been described as a crisis by public health organizations.
In a nutshell, when you don’t complete the prescribed antibiotics the surviving germs will pass on their antibiotic-resistant genes to the next generation making it harder the next time around.
Even when it’s not antibiotics, it’s a good idea to take one’s medicine as instructed so that doctors and pharmacists can better monitor your condition.
Never miss taking your prescriptions on time with Community Clinical Pharmacy’s Medication Synchronization or Med Sync where our pharmacists coordinate the refill of your medications so you can pick them up on a single day each month (delivery also available).

5. Get Regular Check-Ups & Tests
Last but definitely not the least, is getting regular check-ups & tests. Taking better care of yourself means regularly seeing your doctor and specialists, getting tests as recommended for your age/conditions, and addressing any deficiencies in results.
Testing & check-ups are recommended for everybody. But every age has a different focus for testing. Hormonal changes are more common as one gets older and may need to be monitored. Are you suspecting hormonal imbalance? Let Community Clinical Pharmacy help you get your hormones tested at home with our hormone test kits here.
