AB  - Lifestyle  Medicine  focuses  on  empowering  people  to  adopt  and  sustain  healthful  habits  in  order  to  reach  their  optimal  level  of  health.  The  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  defines  health  as,  “a  state  of  complete  physical,  mental,  and  social  well-being  and  not  merely  the  absence  of  disease  or  infirmity.”1,2  As  defined  by  the  Merriam  Webster  Dictionary,  lifestyle  means  “the  typical  way  of  life  of  an  individual,  group,  or  culture,”  and  medicine  means  “the  science  and  art  dealing  with  the  maintenance  of  health  and  the  prevention,  alleviation,  or  cure  of  disease.”3  Together,  the  two  words,  lifestyle  medicine,  form  a  burgeoning  domain  in  healthcare  that  seeks  to  not  only  add  years  to  people’s  lives,  but  also  life  to  their  years.
