Words matter.

Talking about “lifestyle” or “healthy choices” can make it sound like noncommunicable diseases are only about personal decisions, while ignoring other factors that shape health.

What people eat, drink, breathe, and buy depends on policies, environments, and access.

Our environment is shaped by economic and commercial influences.

With a new UN Political declaration on NCDs and only 5 years to 2030, we need to use language that reflects reality: policies and systems shape healthy environments.

Words shape policy; policy saves lives.
