- More than treating patients with drugs, I like to treat patients with their behavior - explained Daniel Sliż, MD, PhD, as he began a lecture entitled ”Science vs. health care. How to live a healthy life and why it is worth to study medicine.”
And he added that lifestyle medicine is precisely concerned with making behavioral changes that will help prevent diseases, reverse its effects and promote healing.
Presenting the results of a number of scientific studies, he spoke about the role of physical activity, interpersonal relationships, avoidance of stimulants, sleep hygiene or healthy eating. He argued that prevention and prophylaxis are the best ways to prolong life and improve its quality.
- If we don't know how to take care of our health, can't choose the right food, can't do the right physical activity, the other facts are of marginal importance. The important thing is that we know how to take care of ourselves, because then we can also help others - stressed Daniel Sliż, MD, PhD.
The lecture took place on January 30, 2025, and can be viewed at the link. We strongly encourage you to watch it!
