Lifestyle medicine is the evidence-based practice of helping individuals and families adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that affect health and quality of life. Examples of target patient behaviors include, but are not limited to eliminating tobacco use, improving diet, increasing physical activity, and moderating alcohol consumption.

What are the preventive chronic diseases lifestyle medicine can help prevent?

Eighty-two percent of chronic diseases can be prevented.
