This week we are exploring one aspect of every health and wellness journey that is often overlooked, despite being critically important! Over the past few weeks we’ve taken a deeper dive into each of the steps outlined at the start of this month’s blog series, [A Guide to Making (and Keeping) a New Year’s Resolution to Improve Your Health](https://blog.pravanhealth.com/blog/a-guide-to-making-and-keeping-a-new-years-resolution-to-improve-your-health). We’ve already worked through the first two steps ([Find a Doctor You Can Trust Who Cares About You](https://blog.pravanhealth.com/blog/a-guide-to-becoming-healthier-in-2019-step-1) and [Fuel Your Body with a Balanced Diet and Exercise](https://blog.pravanhealth.com/blog/a-guide-to-becoming-healthier-in-2019-step-2)), and are going to close out the series with the last (but not the least) of the three: Commit to Self-Care.

As we discussed in our [New Year blog](https://blog.pravanhealth.com/blog/a-guide-to-making-and-keeping-a-new-years-resolution-to-improve-your-health), we have defined three steps for setting an intention to improve your health:
1. **Find a Doctor You Can Trust Who Cares About You**
2. **Fuel Your Body with a Balanced Diet and Exercise**
3. **Commit to Self-Care**
For this part of the series we will be discussing Step 2: Fuel Your Body with a Balanced Diet and Exercise. Though there are many ways to lead a healthy life, two things all approaches have in common are clean eating and physical fitness, for which there are no substitutes. Fortunately, we are here to show you the way!

As we discussed in our [previous blog](https://blog.pravanhealth.com/blog), we have defined three steps for making (and keeping) a New Year's resolution to improve your health:
1. **Find a Doctor You Can Trust Who Cares About You**
2. **Fuel Your Body with a Balanced Diet and Exercise**
3. **Commit to Self-Care**
For this part of the series we will be discussing Step 1: Find a Doctor You Can Trust Who Cares About You. When you want to make improvements or become an expert at something, what do you do? A typical response would be to partner with a professional or seek out the support of a mentor. Let’s apply this to your health!

With the holidays rapidly approaching, we at [Pravan Clinic](https://pravanhealth.com/) find ourselves focusing on family, friends and food comas! Thanksgiving is typically recognized as a time to go all out, over-indulge and recover after the fact, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Sticking with healthy habits like exercising, getting plenty of sleep, staying hydrated and eating whole foods is ideal, but we recognize the challenges here, as well as the natural desire to live it up a little.
While we would never tell you to skip your favorite seasonal foods and drinks (we know better than that!), we do offer a range of wellness services that can help you bounce back stronger than ever. We’ve also included a few tips and tricks, as well as recipes for cleaned-up versions of our favorite holiday classics to ensure that you have the healthiest, happiest holidays ever!

As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Preventive healthcare can help you stay healthier throughout your life, and there is no reason for you to wait to see signs or symptoms of illness before seeking care. Preventive care includes health services such as screenings and check-ups that can help detect illness at an early stage when treatment will most likely work best.
With your [Pravan Clinic membership](https://pravanhealth.com/memberships/), we will help you get up-to-date and stay on top of the appropriate preventive health maintenance required for your age and gender. From the services included in your membership and services offered by specialists we refer to, we will manage your health needs.
Explore some of the services we offer in collaboration with our network of specialists which enable us to be proactive when it comes to necessary health maintenance and prevention for our members.
