Healthier LifeSteps for Healthy Families
AMA Launches Healthier Life Steps Program for Physicians and their Patients; the Alliance to Introduce it for Medical Families
The AMA has launched a new program aimed at developing a physician-patient alliance for a longer, healthier life. The Alliance is working with the AMA to make the program available to medical families.
Four key health behaviors - poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and excessive or risky use of alcohol - are significantly related to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other conditions. Taking steps now to improve these key lifestyle behaviors can help prevent and manage these conditions.
The program includes:
- Healthy Eating Resources
- Physical Activity Resources
- Resources for Reducing Risky Drinking
- Resources for Quitting Smoking
- Frequently Asked Questions
