THE SOLUTION
Jersey Live Well offers an innovative, evidence-based health coaching approach designed to help men individuals enhance their health and well-being, empowering them to truly live well. We do this by focusing on working “upstream” in preventative health. This means not only working with people men when they are sick but before medical issues arise and intervention is necessary .
Here’s the updated information based on the latest research:
- Up to 80% of heart attacks are preventable through lifestyle changes, including healthier eating, regular physical activity, and quitting smoking.
- Lifestyle changes can lower cholesterol levels as effectively as statin medications for many people, without the associated side effects, especially when combined with weight loss, dietary improvements, and increased physical activity.
- Approximately 7 out of 10 deaths from chronic diseases are largely preventable through lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Around 1 in 10 premature deaths could be prevented by getting sufficient physical activity, highlighting the critical role that regular exercise plays in longevity and overall health.
These points underscore the powerful impact that lifestyle changes can have on preventing and managing chronic diseases.
