Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine\u2014a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections\u2014also provides effective prevention for these conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
