Lifestyle Programs

Being overweight or obese, being physically inactive, and consuming a diet low in fruit and vegetables have been estimated to contribute to the high rates of cardiovascular, diabetes and other life style diseases. Healthy lifestyle programs can help with these conditions. Diabetes rates in adults have been shown to stabilize and healthy lifestyles have been effectively promoted among children where programs are managed and comprehensive. Intensive lifestyle programs have been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of many chronic conditions.
