Physicians adopting healthy habits are likelier than doctors devoid of such habits to suggest five vital lifestyle modifications to patients, like eating healthy and restricting sodium to name a few.

- Four percent smoked at least once a week.
- Almost 39 percent ate the recommended five or more cups of fruits and vegetables a week.
- About 27 percent exercised five or more days a week.
- About 66 percent made all five lifestyle recommendations to patients.
- Doctors who exercised at least once a week or didn't smoke were about twice as likely to recommend the five interventions.
