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/
