E80: Obesity Medicine: Lifestyle Medicine: Sleep, Toxins, Social, Learning, and the Outdoors

Today I will be wrapping up the lifestyle factors that contribute to health problems like mental health and obesity. I will briefly discuss getting adequate sleep, avoiding toxins like alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, healthy relationships, lifelong learning, and spending time outdoors. I think many of these are overlooked when trying to lose weight or fix mental health problems. Diet and exercise are all over the internet now, but I think these factors are neglected and ignored and doing so may just be the reason why things are getting better, so in that regard, these could actually be the most important factors. In fact having healthy relationships and socialization is probably the most important lifestyle factor to good health!
