New Year's resolutions for 2026 in the spirit of longevity – a list of 5 actions that truly support longevity

Are you afraid that you will not achieve your goals within a year? Approach your New Year’s resolutions as individual projects. The key to success is to use the SMART model, which works well in effective task management. SMART is an acronym that stands for:

S (specific) — the goal should be specific and clearly defined, avoid general statements.

M (measurable) — it is important that the goal is measurable, i.e. it can be expressed in numbers, dates or other metrics.

A (achievable) — the resolution should be realistic and achievable under the given conditions.

R (relevant) — the goal must be relevant and valuable to you in order for your motivation to achieve it to be strong.

T (time-bound) — the key element is the deadline by which the goal is to be achieved.

Using this model will help you not only to define what you want to achieve, but also how to do it effectively. The most popular New Year’s resolutions in the spirit of longevity focus mainly on regular physical activity, healthy eating and better regeneration. Many people also focus on improving the quality of their sleep, ensuring adequate rest and reducing stress, which has a beneficial effect on mental and physical health.

Another common resolution is to give up harmful habits, such as excessive alcohol consumption or smoking, and to adopt a more balanced lifestyle. The aim of these actions is not only to improve well-being, but also to take long-term care of health and quality of life in the years to come.

If you care about a lifestyle conducive to longevity, it is worth starting with a medical consultation. New Year’s Eve with Longevity at the NAMI Medical Clinic and Resort allows for a comprehensive assessment of your health, including hormonal and metabolic diagnostics, lifestyle analysis and the development of an individual treatment plan. This means that your goals, such as improving your metabolism, reducing stress, sleeping better or strengthening your immunity, will be based on solid data rather than random assumptions. The first consultation takes place online, so you don’t have to worry about logistics.

Diagnostic tests are one of those things that often end up on the ‘someday’ to-do list. We lack not only determination, but also a precise plan of action that would tell us where to start. At NAMI, you will get it! Thanks to specialist consultations, we will guide you step by step through the entire diagnostic process, tailoring the appropriate tests to your health needs. You will receive not only professional support, but also motivation to take care of your health. Together, we will determine which tests are most important, and then you will have them done in comfortable conditions. Thanks to our own Medical Laboratories, the results will be available in the shortest possible time. As part of our New Year’s longevity programme, we offer the following laboratory tests: peripheral blood count, lipidogram, HOMA-IR insulin resistance index and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).

Stress, especially chronic stress, is one of the main obstacles to longevity. Its long-term presence in our lives negatively affects the functioning of the entire body. Chronic stress leads to the continuous release of hormones such as cortisol, which in excess have a harmful effect on health. This results in chronic inflammation, which accelerates the ageing process and increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Constant tension in the body also negatively affects the immune system, weakening the body’s ability to fight infections and slowing down regenerative processes. It can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to fertility problems, sleep disorders and reduced physical performance.

To minimise the effects of stress, it is worth introducing relaxation techniques such as meditation, Schultz’s autogenic training or yoga into your daily life. Physical activity, especially moderate exercise such as walking, running or swimming, also helps to reduce cortisol levels and improves well-being. By maintaining emotional balance and healthy habits, we can significantly improve our quality of life and contribute to longevity. It is worth starting these changes now.

The aim of improving mobility and myofascial function is to restore full physical fitness, reduce stiffness, reduce pain and improve posture and overall body performance. This approach supports the treatment of injuries, reduces the risk of injury and contributes to a better quality of life by improving the functioning of the body in everyday activities.

Mobility is the range of motion in the joints and the flexibility of the muscles and tissues surrounding them. Improving mobility means increasing the freedom of movement in a joint or group of joints, allowing for full, natural movements without pain or restriction. Achieving this goal may involve stretching exercises, joint mobilisation techniques, and various forms of manual therapy.

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and other structures in the body. Muscle-fascial function refers to the ability of muscles and fascia to work in a fluid and coordinated manner, which is crucial for proper movement and avoiding injury. Improving this function may involve techniques such as fascial massage, manual therapy, stretching, or exercises that improve flexibility and cooperation between muscles and fascia.

Perseverance in fulfilling New Year’s resolutions to exercise regularly to improve mobility and musculoskeletal function is crucial not only for our daily fitness, but also in the context of longevity. Implementing such habits in our lives not only improves our quality of life here and now, but also prepares our bodies for the future. Regular exercise that focuses on tissue flexibility, joint mobility and proper muscle function supports our body in maintaining full fitness for many years to come. There is often talk of a longevity style break, i.e. breaks to take care of our health in everyday life – these are what give us energy and strength. That is why it is worth investing in such activities now, taking advantage of the knowledge and experience of urogynecological and urological physiotherapists at NAMI.
