Globally, there are an ongoing epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), examples of which include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes to name a few. The good news is that the vast majority of these diseases can be prevented, treated, and often reversed with lifestyle measures such as healthy food, good nutrition practices, physical activity, stress management, and smoking cessation. These measures comprise the core of lifestyle medicine practice, an emerging discipline in healthcare. In the spirit of promoting lifestyle medicine, we welcome you to join the Mạng lưới Y học Lối sống Việt Nam - Vietnamese Society of Lifestyle Medicine (VSLM).VSLM is the medical professional society for those dedicated to the advancement and clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable health care system. We are an internationally recognized provider of quality education and certification for those who seek to provide whole-person, root-cause care to patients. Unlike typical healthcare, lifestyle medicine focuses on collaborative patient-provider relationships and positive, evidence-based lifestyle changes as the basis of care. This broader range of treatment options empowers patients with hope and control over their health.Lifestyle Medicine is 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 help treat, reverse, and prevent the progression of many chronic diseases.For more info about Lifestyle Medicine, Membership, Events, etc., visit https://www.facebook.com/lifestylemedicinevietnam
