5TH KERNOW LIFESTYLE MEDICINE CONFERENCE
With all the ongoing pressures the health and social care sector as well as we as individuals are facing, Lifestyle Medicine has never been more important for us personally, our society and planet.
Lifestyle Medicine acknowledges the need for action on socioeconomic determinants of health and promotes evidence-based/'evidence-informed' lifestyle measures as well as proven techniques empowering the individual to sustain lifestyle changes to optimise wellbeing, prevent and treat disease. It focuses on the 6 pillars Sleep, Healthy Eating, Mental Wellbeing, Healthy Relationships, Physical activities and Minimising Harmful substances.
