Let's talk about Lifestyle Medicine! 🏃🥗🧘🌱☀️💤

Today marks the beginning of Lifestyle Medicine Week, celebrated annually around the world from 29 May - 4 June. LM Week offers a unique opportunity for us to raise awareness around the impact and importance of Lifestyle Medicine, and we're asking the ASLM community to help us get the word out!

Visit https://bit.ly/lmweekaus to find out how you can get involved. Plus, ASLM members can access clinical resources designed to facilitate patient discussions on a variety of Lifestyle Medicine topics including behaviour change, nutrition, physical activity and more (make sure you’re logged into your account to access the resources).

Happy Lifestyle Medicine Week!

In a randomised clinical trial, researchers found "young, overweight adults who habitually slept fewer than 6.5 hours a night were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalised sleep hygiene counselling session. The sleep intervention was intended to extend time in bed duration to 8.5 hours—and the increased sleep duration compared to controls also reduced participants' overall caloric intake by an average of 270 kcal (calories) per day" (University of Chicago Medical Center, 2022*).

Good quality sleep can help us make healthier food choices, stay more active, and remain mentally in-check.
