Elevating Health: Insights from Top Lifestyle Medicine Speakers

Non-contagious chronic diseases are responsible for 71% of deaths in the world. Did you know that these diseases are preventable through lifestyle changes? Lifestyle Medicine is the specialty of medical sciences that enables prevention and treatment of such diseases.

Lifestyle medicine is a comprehensive specialty that involves adoption of a therapeutic lifestyle. Advocating plant-based nutrition, adequate sleep, and efficient stress management are fundamental to the specialty. The key though is to encourage a shift in the patient’s perspective through the introduction of positive behavioral changes.

Though evidence-based, lifestyle medicine is still nascent in its evolution. Insights from domain experts can help explore and understand the vast landscape. Insights from leading lifestyle medicine speakers can be empowering for practitioners, patients, and health seekers. 

Harmony of Health: Keynote Perspectives from Lifestyle Medicine Speakers

Adopting sustaining solutions to counter the challenge of suffering from chronic diseases has become the need of the hour. Patients and communities are intent on gaining awareness and real-life solutions for good health. Medical practitioners, unfortunately, are grappling with challenges such as lack of expert domain knowledge and resources.

As a result, practitioners are unable to deliver patient-focused healthcare while patients remain helpless in their combat against diseases and health challenges.

Lifestyle medicine speakers help bridge the gap, making lifestyle medicine more accessible and useful to both practitioners and patients.

Keynote perspectives of a lifestyle medicine specialist(s), in particular, can be empowering as they come from a place of expertise and personal experience. Domain knowledge combined with an in-depth understanding of the audience, and an intent to empower, make keynote perspectives life-changing for the audience.

Here’s a glimpse into some empowering keynote perspectives from noted lifestyle medicine speakers:

• How cooking and nutrition can improve health

Best Practices Shared by Lifestyle Medicine Experts

40% of cancers of any type and 80% of stroke and heart diseases can be prevented with efficient lifestyle interventions, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). A change in lifestyle may also favorably alter diagnoses of mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. A healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of dementia.

With its emphasis on a healthy lifestyle through sustaining and evidence-based practices, lifestyle medicine can create a solid foundation for efficient healthcare. Lifestyle medicine can enable patients to develop healthy habits, prioritize mental health, and focus on improving quality of life.

Here are some best practices shared by lifestyle medicine experts toward achieving the goal of a healthier, longer, fuller, and a fulfilling life:

• Keep Moving – Movement is key for a healthy mind and body. For better health, focus on cardiovascular fitness and muscle-strengthening.
• Watch your Food – Switch foods that are high-calorie and low in nutrients with foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Include more vegetables and fruits. Keep consumption of processed foods loaded with salts and sugars to a minimum.
• Sleep Well – If you are sleeping at any given opportunity, then it could be because you are not getting enough sleep. Get at least 7 hours of sleep for health-restorative benefits. Avoid naps, heavy meals, alcohol, and excess screen time before sleep time.
• Manage Stress by Embracing It – Contrary to resisting stress, acknowledge its existence and embrace it. When leveraged, stress can give insights into your values, skills, and behavior. By embracing it, you are focusing on positive insights.

 For example, when you embrace stress resulting from frustration over a poor performance evaluation, you can focus on skills you can build for the future.

• Cultivate Strong Relationships – Research shows that solid social connections can improve blood sugar levels and cancer survival rates. Strong relationships can also help combat symptoms of depression and manage mental health better. Acts of kindness and voluntary service are some ways to build and improve connections in a community. It is also important to reach out to people and medical experts for help when needed.
• Practice Gratitude and Mindfulness - Being grateful for the better aspects of your life can strengthen your immune system, and improve your physical and mental wellness. Writing a gratitude journal for at least 3 days a week, or offering notes and gifts of gratitude, are some great ways to be grateful.

 A meditation session, even one as short as 10 minutes, can pave the way for good health. 

 Practicing gratitude meditation, in particular, can improve your ability to manage negative emotions. It can also improve your self-confidence levels. 

• Engage in Activities that Improve Mental Abilities as You Age – Contrary to myth, it is possible to keep your brain cells active as you age. Activities that provide mental stimulation such as learning a new language or skill, or pursuing hobbies such as puzzles, can keep mental muscles strengthened and sharp. In addition, a healthy diet, physical activity, and meaningful social relationships, can help sustain your mental abilities as you age. 

Lifestyle medicine speakers believe that these lifestyle changes, while not new, can transform life for the better when practiced with perseverance.
