The "Lifestyle Matters" Declaration

Information

The “Lifestyle Matters” Declaration was introduced by the Committee that organised the international congress “Lifestyle, Diet, Wine and Health" on 19/20 October 2023 in Toledo, Spain.

This declaration aims to give voice to the many scientists around the world who research diligently, honestly, and successfully in the disciplines concerning lifestyle and health risks to achieve a balanced view of the scientific evidence.

We will receive signees from all scientific disciplines, not only those which are directly related lifestyle matters.

Declaration

The undersigned support that:

  • A healthy and active lifestyle is key in promoting health and reducing health risks.
  • A balanced diet such as is found in the Mediterranean lifestyle, which includes moderation in all aspects of life including wine consumption, is recognised as being a positive contributor to a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.
  • When formulating guidelines and recommendations, it should be done considering the consistent work of researchers who produce ever-evolving scientific evidence which:
    • Communicates objectively both positive and negative results of well-designed scientific studies.
    • Considers the ratio of benefits and risks to better understand how lifestyle and dietary factors impact health, mainly on all-cause mortality and incidence of more prevalent chronic diseases.
  • Education and providing information to all ages are key elements to promoting a healthy lifestyle, always considering the cultural heritage of the population and the sustainability of the planet.
