lifestyle modification
Changing daily routines
Lifestyle modification refers to deliberate changes in daily habits to improve health outcomes—typically diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management.
Doctors recommend lifestyle modifications before or alongside medication for conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or obesity: The cardiologist suggested lifestyle modification before starting statins.
The phrase is clinical shorthand for "change how you live."
