About the 6 Measures
As defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the six measures for managing their lifestyle choices, and proven preventative treatment for chronic disease are as follows:
Move: Increasing Physical Activity & Exercise
Nourish: Transitioning to a Healthy & Plant-based Diet
Social: Maintaining Healthy Relationships
Chill: Managing Stress
Caution: Avoiding Risky Substances & Behaviors
Recharge: Getting Enough Sleep
The Big Picture Living website is the resource hub for students and advisors where you will find vetted resources from ACLM, student projects, and ways your advisory can get involved.
