| Popis: | Lifestyle-related chronic illnesses, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and dementia are rising at an alarming, epidemic rate. In this modern world of increasing lifespan, we are actually decreasing our health span, placing an undue burden on healthcare costs to society. Modern medicine has largely gotten away from addressing key issues to prevent or even reverse some of these chronic conditions. Yet the evidence for successful interventions in four key areas – nutrition, sleep, physical activity and stress management – to manage and control our health are mounting. Lifestyle medicine as a part of personalized treatment and prevention of chronic illnesses is a necessary cornerstone of disease management as we look to the future. In this review, I discuss various key studies demonstrating the impact of lifestyle on epigenetic, endocrine, immunologic, and inflammatory changes which contribute to chronic disease and our overall health. |
