Lifestyle Medicine

Preventative health is about taking proactive steps to maintain wellbeing before problems arise. Many chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, develop over time due to lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of physical activity, and unmanaged stress. Lifestyle medicine provides practical strategies to reduce risk and promote longevity.

In light of Lifestyle Medicine Week (May 18 – 24), we’re highlighting the vital pillars that form lifestyle medicine, a medical specialisation focusing on therapeutic lifestyle interventions as the primary modality to treat and prevent chronic conditions.
