Evidence• European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, patients who adhered to healthy dietary principles (low meat consumption and high intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain bread), never smoked, were not overweight, and had at least 30 minutes a day of physical activity had a 78% lower overall risk of developing a chronic disease1.

• 93% reduced risk of diabetes
• 81% lower risk of heart attacks
• 50% reduction in risk of stroke
• 36% overall reduction in risk of cancer
Evidence• Our genes are a predisposition, but our genes are not
our fate. LM changes your genes—turning on genes that keep you healthy, and turning off genes that promote heart disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes—over 500 genes in only three months1.
• Diet and lifestyle changes may lengthen telomeres. Effects still significant after 5 years2.
• Lifestyle factors accounted for 90% of the PAR (population attributed risk) in men and 94% in women for coronary heart disease (52 country study)3.

Prevention & Treatment with Lifestyle Medicine
• LM is becoming the preferred modality for not only the prevention but also the treatment of most chronic diseases, including:
• Type 2 diabetes
• Coronary heart disease
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Insulin resistance syndrome
• Osteoporosis
• and many types of cancer
Why Lifestyle Medicine?
• “ As a nation, more than 75% of our health care spending is on people with chronic conditions1.” — CDC 2009
• “If the major risk factors from chronic disease were eliminated, at least 80% of all heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes would be prevented, and more than 40% of cancer cases would be prevented2.” —WHO

Value StatementFrom the ACLM:Lifestyle practices and health habits are among the nation’s most important health determinants.
Changing unhealthy behaviors is foundational to medical care, disease prevention, and health promotion.
The physician’s trusted relationship with the patient, with the support of the family, an interdisciplinary team and the community is the key to improving health behaviors and outcomes.
How Can We Get Started?
“It’s not all or nothing. In all of our studies, we found that the more people changed their diet and lifestyle, the more they improved and the better they felt—at any age. So, if you indulge yourself one day, just eat healthier the next. If you don’t have time to exercise one day, do a little more the next. If you don’t have time to meditate for an hour, do it for a minute. What matters most is your overall way of eating and
living.” –Dean Ornish
