Lifestyle medicine leverages six pillars-a predominantly plant-based diet, physical activity, sleep, avoiding risky substance, stress management, and social connection. Facilitating behavior change represents the crux of success with each of these pillars. Positive emotions and positive psychology constructs are shown to drive behavior change in the upward spiral theory of lifestyle change. Moreover, positive psychology interventions serve as additional, independent protective health factors. This paper offers a brief review of the empirical evidence for these roles of positive psychology and makes the case for explicitly adding positive psychology to the foundational lifestyle medicine pillars.
生活方式医学利用六大支柱——以植物为主的饮食、体育活动、睡眠、避免使用危险物质、压力管理和社会联系。促进行为改变是这些支柱取得成功的关键。积极情绪和积极心理学结构在生活方式改变的螺旋上升理论中被证明能推动行为改变。此外，积极心理学干预是额外的、独立的保护性健康因素。本文简要回顾了支持积极心理学这些作用的实证证据，并论证了将积极心理学明确纳入生活方式医学基础支柱的理由。
