Lifestyle Medicine is Needed
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) more than 70% of diseases (such as heart disease, type-2-diabetes, some forms of cancer, high blood pressure and obesity) worldwide are caused by lifestyle factors (such as bad nutrition, lack of physical activity and chronic psychological stress). The leading causes of mortality worldwide are lifestyle-related diseases(1,2). There is now strong evidence that lifestyle factors have profound impacts on the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Scientific Evidence
The pathogenesis of noncommunicable disease is increasingly better understood. Recent research has highlighted the strong connection between lifestyle factors (physical activity, nutrition, psychological stress) and the pathology of chronic diseases.
Lifestyle factors have a significant influence on human biology, cells and gene expression.
