Report: Indian Society of Lifestyle Medicine Joins Hands with Healthy India Alliance The Indian Society of Lifestyle Medicine (ISLM) has officially joined the Healthy India Alliance (HIA), marking a significant step forward in the country's efforts to combat non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and promote preventive healthcare. This collaboration between ISLM, a leading advocate for lifestyle-based interventions, and HIA, a national network committed to strengthening public health, is poised to create a more comprehensive approach to health policy development in India. The partnership is expected to amplify the focus on lifestyle medicine, which emphasizes diet, physical activity, stress management, and behavior modification as critical components in preventing and managing NCDs such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension. By leveraging the expertise of both organizations, this alliance will play a pivotal role in influencing health policies aimed at reducing the burden of NCDs and improving the overall health and well-being of the Indian population. As the prevalence of NCDs continues to rise, this collaboration comes at a crucial time, positioning ISLM and HIA to drive policy changes that prioritize sustainable, preventive healthcare models. Their joint efforts are anticipated to not only shape public health strategies but also raise awareness and foster a culture of healthy living across India. https://lnkd.in/gMaWxZp3
