Kales has been long awaited and is most welcome. New knowledge has confirmed the wisdom of the third branch of Hippocratic Medicine, Dietetics (Diet =way of life) and has revealed the biological basis of ancient promptings for a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle Medicine is a colossal service of Medicine to Mankind, helping with the prevention and treatment of most of the chronic non-communicable diseases, including anxiety, depression, psychosomatic disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, and cancer. The Textbook of Lifestyle Medicine provides a timely great introduction and a systematic guide toward this goal. It represents a major step forward. It is well written, comprehensive, and promoting key aspects of a healthy lifestyle. It will be useful to health care professionals at all stages of their careers, as well as to the public at large.

The book is wonderfully well written, with a very careful language and aesthetic. One of the most interesting and remarkable aspects is the holistic approach to health and its determinants throughout the book.
