Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.Connect with ACLM Online!Visit lifestylemedicine.org: ⁠https://lifestylemedicine.org/⁠Find ACLM on Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestylemed/⁠Find ACLM on X: ⁠https://x.com/ACLifeMed⁠Find ACLM on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/aclifemed/⁠Find ACLM on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-college-of-lifestyle-medicine/
