Six in 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease, and 4 in 10 have two or more chronic diseases. Many preventable chronic diseases are caused by a short list of risk behaviors: smoking, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use. Lifestyle modifications are habits that are within a person’s control. One of the ways to prevent chronic disease caused by familial factors like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension is through lifestyle modifications. Lifestyle modifications that can reduce your risk of chronic disease are healthy eating, regular physical activity, avoiding to***co and excessive alcohol consumption, and managing stress.
Disease prevention is critical now more than ever! Healthcare is changing. We must be vigilant about our physical health and our mental health. 💚❤️
