What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to preventing, treating and even reversing diseases by replacing unhealthy behaviors with positive ones — such as eating healthfully, being physically active, managing stress, avoiding risky substance abuse, adequate sleep and having a strong support system.
Lifestyle Medicine is Anti-Aging Medicine
Healthy living is the best way to age gracefully and maintain our physical and cognitive function. It is the best anti-aging secret out there.
A Healthy Lifestyle is the Best Medicine
We know that most chronic diseases can be prevented or delayed by following a healthy lifestyle and getting regular health screenings. Six in ten Americans live with at least one chronic disease such as heart disease or diabetes, and these are a leading driver of health care costs.
Prevention is better than cure.
