Lifestyle medicine is a new strategic approach that is reshaping the preventative care landscape and having a significant impact on chronic disease prevention (LM). Lifestyle medicine is defined as "a branch of evidence-based medicine in which comprehensive lifestyle changes (including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social support, and environmental exposures) are used to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease progression by addressing the underlying causes." According to evidence-based research, LM guidelines may help people who are at risk of developing diseases live longer and with fewer difficulties. Patients' glycemic control, lipid profile, blood pressure, and anthropometric profile were all improved after a long-term communitybased combined exercise programme, for example. Individuals' exposure to lifestyle risk has also been reduced by community lifestyle interventions such as promoting optimal nutritional intake and providing smoking cessation counselling. These community-based initiatives show that LM is a good fit for improving health, owing to the fact that its practises are incorporated into the clinical model of care and decrease disease progression, eventually leading to a community-based preventative strategy.
