If you’re planning some self-improvement resolutions in the New Year, you can improve your chances for success by starting now.

Bruce Krentz, Health Promotion Coordinator with the Northern Health Region, explains.

“A better strategy probably would be to start to think about that now and start to make some small changes so that if you do want to make a little bit bigger changes in the new year, you can do that a little bit easier and maybe have a more realistic chance of getting that done.”

The NHR has a number of resources they can share to help you on your way.

Those include the Smoker’s Help Line at smokershelpline.ca.

For nutrition advice, you can reach out to Dial A Dietician.   The toll-free number for that is 1-877-830-2892.

The Northern Health Region also has Registered Dietitians in Thompson.  They can be reached at 204-677-5350.
