Engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is paramount for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Pairing this with proper nutrition, stress management, healthy habits, and sufficient sleep forms the foundation of preventive medicine. Lifestyle Medicine serves as a powerful reminder that sustainable lifestyle choices hold the key to preventing chronic diseases and promoting longevity and overall well-being. By prioritising these elements, individuals can unlock their potential to live longer, healthier lives and enjoy a higher quality of life.
