The Lifestyle Medicine (LM) strategies and techniques are critical for influencing and controlling the underlying causes of the escalating chronic illness burden. Rather than restricting resources and medical expenditures on acute treatment and reacting to illness, damages and diseases, lifestyle medicine targets health risk factors taking a 360 degree in primary, second- ary and tertiary prevention of disease development and propagation. The majority of health-care expenditures go towards sickness treatment, with less attention towards preventive medicine based on the lifestyle medicine pillars like scientific exercises, right diet, avoiding smoking/alcohol, precise sleep pattern & mindfulness etc. Nonetheless, there is abundance wealth of data supporting the efficacy of lifestyle medicine and the value of behavioral health in the management of a wide range of health risks and incurable medical diseases. Physical activity/scientific exercises, weight control, and nutrition/diet programmes are used in lifestyle medicine treatments to prevent, treat and reverse chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes mellitus among others. These techniques have proven ability to lower health care cost trends and a nation's health care budget all together. Consequently, they raise citizen performance/productivity, improve individual patient health outcomes, and ultimately play a far-reaching vital role in a nation's sustained economic growth.
