EDITOR’S NOTE Welcome to the New Year issue of Health Magazine. Now is the time that we often expect to feel the most driven, but the reality of January can often be less-than-inspiring when it comes to initiating those big and all-imprortant changes. There is a lot to be said for mood and mindset, which is why we’ve taken a look at some of the most effective ways to feel happy and positive in 2018 (page 6). All too often, our goals are appearancebased, with not enough emphasis being given to the importance of building physical strength and confidence in turning your health and wellbeing around (page 9). In this issue, we’ve got a host of experts and advocates to share their knowledge and experience on all things nutrition and fitness - two of the key starting points for a new, healthier you! As Harry Judd shares his approach to making every day count (page 19), celebrity Personal Trainer Matt Roberts explains the importance of mindset in making lasting changes (page 9). We’ve also looked at some of the lesser known ways to help boost your immunity this winter (page 14) and some incentives for staying ‘dry’ if you’re considering
giving up alcohol this January.
