Episode 9: Top 3 Techniques for Healthy Habits
A review published this November 2024 in the BMJ Public Health examined many behavior change techniques (BCTs) used in lifestyle interventions to improve chronic diseases.
The study found that 3 specific BCTs- goal setting, self-monitoring, and getting feedback were consistently effective in promoting healthy behaviors and help reduce the risk factors linked with chronic non-communicable diseases.
United States is going to spend over 6.8 Trillion dollars a year on healthcare by 2030. Almost 90% of employers think the cost of providing health benefits would be unsustainable in the next five to 10 years. Meanwhile, Americans have the highest maternal and infant mortality, the lowest life expectancy at birth, and the highest death rates for avoidable or treatable conditions among high-income countries.
