Introduction[edit | edit source]
An article in The Permanente Journal indicates that "More than 80% of chronic conditions could be avoided through the adoption of healthy lifestyle recommendations."[1]An original investigation in JAMA Internal Medicine (2020) indicates that "Various healthy lifestyle profiles appear to be associated with extended gains in life lived without type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and cancer." The authors go onto say that "Of the 16 different lifestyle profiles studied, all 4 that were associated with the longest disease-free life span included a BMI [Body Mass Index] less than 25 and at least 2 of the following health behaviours: never smoking, physical activity, and moderate alcohol consumption."[2]
