ANS: A
The five leading causes of death and illness can be positively affected by changes in lifestyle. Healthy lifestyles can modify or even prevent most chronic illnesses. Seeking care at a neighborhood health clinic, producing media campaigns, and engaging in self-therapies are all more expensive approaches to treating chronic diseases than choosing healthy lifestyle behaviors.
