医学界忽视了疾病的根本原因，也忽视了优先考虑预防生活方式措施，从而使人们受到伤害。受西方生活方式影响的发达国家正处于健康危机之中，这主要是由于不良的生活方式选择。流行病学、生态学和干预性研究一再表明，大多数慢性疾病，包括心血管疾病、癌症和2型糖尿病，都是由营养不良和缺乏身体活动导致的生活方式造成的。在这篇文章中，我们描述了生活方式医学的实践及其对这些导致过早残疾和死亡的现代煽动者的强大影响。我们解决预防为基础的生活方式医学的经济效益及其对我们的医疗保健系统的影响：一个濒临破产的系统。我们建议对一个灾难性的过程进行重大的改变。如果医学界能够有效地实施和分享健康生活方式选择的力量，许多死亡和许多疼痛、痛苦和残疾的原因都可以避免。我们认为，生活方式医学应该成为慢性病管理的主要方法，更重要的是，它们的预防。为了子孙后代，为了我们自己的健康，为了我们发誓要坚持的希波克拉底誓言（“首先不要伤害”），医学界必须采取行动。我们希望所提供的信息将激励我们的同事进行生活方式医学研究，并将这些实践纳入他们对患者的日常护理中。现在是做出这种改变的时候了。
By ignoring the root causes of disease and neglecting to prioritize lifestyle measures for prevention, the medical community is placing people at harm. Advanced nations, influenced by a Western lifestyle, are in the midst of a health crisis, resulting largely from poor lifestyle choices. Epidemiologic, ecologic, and interventional studies have repeatedly indicated that most chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes, are the result of lifestyles fueled by poor nutrition and physical inactivity.In this article, we describe the practice of lifestyle medicine and its powerful effect on these modern instigators of premature disability and death. We address the economic benefits of prevention-based lifestyle medicine and its effect on our health care system: A system on the verge of bankruptcy. We recommend vital changes to a disastrous course. Many deaths and many causes of pain, suffering, and disability could be circumvented if the medical community could effectively implement and share the power of healthy lifestyle choices. We believe that lifestyle medicine should become the primary approach to the management of chronic conditions and, more importantly, their prevention. For future generations, for our own health, and for the Hippocratic Oath we swore to uphold ("First do no harm"), the medical community must take action. It is our hope that the information presented will inspire our colleagues to pursue lifestyle medicine research and incorporate such practices into their daily care of patients. The time to make this change is now.
