The AOBA Lifestyle Change Project offers two Programs which are designed based on USA CDC’s Lifestyle Change guidance, and thorough researches and data collected by UK Bio Bank to identify 7 key factors that affect our lifestyle and our health.
First of all, let’s understand Why we need to focus on our Lifestyle Change to gain Better Health.
Why CHANGE?
Our modern lifestyle has increasingly shifted towards more sedentary habits and unhealthy diets full of processed foods and sugary drinks. This has led to a rise in pre-diabetes and other life-threatening conditions worldwide. Pre-diabetes, in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke if not addressed. The good news is that lifestyle changes have been shown to be highly effective in preventing and even reversing pre-diabetes.
What FOR?
The Lifestyle Change Program promotes sustainable health improvements through seven key factors: diet, physical activity, social engagement, medical care, sleep, mental wellness, and risk avoidance. It focuses on gradual, small habit changes for long-term impact.
The program offers tailored guidance, such as meal planning for pre-diabetes management. Participants learn to replace refined carbs with healthier options, potentially lowering blood sugar and A1C levels.
Motivational case studies showcase how simple changes like daily walks or home-cooked meals have helped individuals reverse pre-diabetes. By addressing mind, body, and lifestyle holistically, the program empowers participants to reduce diabetes risk through consistent, manageable improvements.
HOW?
AOBA Lifestyle Change Project offer two Programs:
Program 1: Lifestyle Change with Atomic Habits
Program 2: Pre-diabetes Reversal Program with Lifestyle Change
Program 1: Lifestyle Change with Atomic Habits
The program recognizes that sustainable lifestyle changes occur gradually, one day at a time. By focusing on small, achievable habits, participants can build momentum and develop a lasting commitment to a healthier way of living. Therefore, the program focuses on seven essential factors that play a crucial role in our daily lives, via seven Modules.

Module 4: Habit on Sleep
Prioritizing quality sleep is essential for physical and mental rejuvenation, as well as effective management of pre-diabetes and other health conditions.
Module 5: Habit on Medical Awareness
Understanding our health conditions and being proactive in seeking medical guidance can empower us to make informed decisions about our care.
Module 6: Habit on Mental Wellness
Incorporating practices like mindfulness, stress management, and self-care can cultivate a positive mindset and enhance overall well-being.
Module 7: Habit on Avoidance of High-Risk Behaviors
Identifying and addressing behaviors that may negatively impact our health, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, is crucial for long-term wellness.
Program 2: Pre-diabetes Reversal Program with Lifestyle Change
Step 1: Take the CDC's Prediabetes Risk Test
Prediabetes is when someone’s blood glucose (sugar) level is too high but not high enough yet for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can become type 2 diabetes if it is not treated. 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, and more than 84% of people with prediabetes don’t know they have it. So, take the risk test now to see where you stand. The Prediabetes Risk Test is from the U.S. CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program.
