Taking on resolutions with a healthy mindset
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) – Improving fitness is one of the most common New Year’s Resolutions.
Any changes to diet, exercise and fitness in general should be approached with thought, care and caution.
A renewed focus on fitness can quickly turn into counting calories, avoiding food groups and excessive exercise, which can be dangerous, especially for people with a history of body dysmorphia or eating disorders, according to the Centers for Discovery.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, reach out for help. Seek therapy and talk to loved ones.
