■ How can you sustain healthy habits? Here are some tips...

One small step: Making one small change at a time is the best way to achieve your goals. As you get more and more confident you can increase your efforts, taking bigger and harder steps, which you’ll find easier to tackle with less effort.

It’s a marathon not a sprint: The key to getting healthy is making a change that you can maintain. Adopt changes that you’ll be more likely to stick with over time.

Easy does it: Preparing mentally for a change is just as important as making it. You’ll feel more confident if you have all the informatio­n you need and you considered all your options and the rewards of changing versus staying the same. In due course, you’ll feel ready to take that step forward.

Just enjoy it: A healthy life shouldn’t feel like you’re making an effort. Figure out what feels comfortabl­e and what gives you joy. That’s when the lifestyle becomes a way of life.
