This usually takes the form of making promises to change our lifestyle of excess, which comes to a head for many at the immeasurably decadent year-end celebrations.  \nWe make resolutions to dust off those long-neglected running shoes and tennis rackets, to hit the roads and courts to get some exercise. We also make resolutions to eat more healthily – the definition of which changes each year as more and more evidence-based eating becomes derigueur. Indeed, will durian follow avocado to become a buah that is good for health, as mentioned in this issue’s feature by Dr Toh Han Chong? I wishfully hope so!
