Lifestyle interventionsBHS Guidelines
  • Measures that lower blood pressure
  • Weight reduction
  • Reduced salt intake
  • Limitation of alcohol consumption
  • Physical exercise
  • Increased fruit vegetable consumption
  • Reduced total fat saturated fat intake
  • Measures to reduce cardiovascular risk
  • Stop smoking
  • Replace saturated fat with poly-
    mono-unsaturated fats
  • Increase oily fish consumption
  • Reduce total fat intake

Salt
  • The average UK salt consumption is 9 gm / day
  • Dietary requirement is 1.4 gm / day

Food groups contributing the most salt to our
diet
  • 35 from cereal cereal products e.g. bread,
    breakfast cereals, 'morning goods'
  • 26 from meat meat products e.g. bacon ham,
    burgers, sausages
  • 8 from milk milk products e.g. milk, cheese

Recommendations
22
Lifestyle measures BHS IV
  • Maintain normal weight for adults (BMI 20-25
    kg/m2)
  • Reduce salt intake to lt100 mmol/day (lt6g NaCl or
    lt2.4 g Na/day)
  • Limit alcohol consumption to ?3 units/day for men
    and ?2 units/day for women
  • Engage in regular aerobic physical exercise
    (brisk walking rather than weight lifting) for
    ?30 minutes per day, ideally on most of days of
    the week but at least on three days of the week
  • Consume at least five portions/day of fresh fruit
    and vegetables
  • Reduce the intake of total and saturated fat

23
WCRF recommendations for cancer prevention
  • Be as lean as possible without becoming
    underweight. 
  • Be physically active for at least 30 minutes
    every day.
  • Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of
    energy-dense foods (particularly processed foods
    high in added sugar, or low in fibre, or high in
    fat).
  • Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits,
    whole grains, pulses such as beans.
  • Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef,
    pork lamb) avoid processed meats.
  • If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2
    for men 1 for women a day.
  • Limit consumption of salty foods foods
    processed with salt.
  • Don't use supplements to protect against cancer.
  • Special Population Recommendations
  • It is best for mothers to breastfeed exclusively
    for up to 6 months then add other liquids
    foods.
  • After treatment, cancer survivors should follow
    the recommendations for cancer prevention.
  • Do not smoke or chew tobacco.

Increased consumption of fruit vegetables is
related to a reduced risk of CHD meta-analysis

  • Exercise advice
  • 30 mins / day moderate intensity.
  • Practical approaches
  • Probably starting from scratch.
  • Start low, go slow.
  • Give the evidence leaflets.
  • Describe local facilities parks, sports
    centres.
  • Link exercise with daily activities.
  • Specific leisure times for elderly.
  • GP exercise prescriptions.
  • School programs
  • Lobby for inclusion of exercise within curriculum.

47
Practical approaches
Exercise advice
  • Tailor advice to individual.
  • Know the area in which your patients live.
  • Useful questions
  • What did you used to do?
  • What do you enjoy?
  • Where do you live what local facilities are
    available?
  • Where do you work how do you get there?
