Getting a 'new you' in the new year can be as easy as a walk in the park, Ministers said today.
With many people wanting to get back into shape following the Christmas and New Year period, Scots are being advised that they didn't need to think drastic diets or pricey gyms were the only answer.
Minister for Public Health Shona Robison said:
"Many of us will have been relaxing over the festive season and perhaps eating and drinking more than we would normally.
"The start of a new year is a good opportunity to take a look at your diet and exercise routine, because small changes can have a big impact on your health.
"The Scottish Government is making tackling obesity, particularly among children, a top priority, but we can't achieve this alone - everyone has a part to play.
"If everyone makes one small resolution to improve their lifestyle, we will all be able to enjoy a happier, healthier 2008."
I don't want a new me, ta very much. The old one fits satisfactorily. And if I fail to see how looking at my 'diet and exercise routine' would have any impact on tackling obesity, least of all among children. So you know what you can do with your 'one small resolution'.
