See the scientific wording

An online multidomain lifestyle intervention delivered via digital coaching is associated with a low rate of trial-related adverse events (0.60% in intervention vs. 0.03% in control), suggesting that such interventions are generally safe for at-risk older adults over three years.

Why this might work

Following a consistent daily routine of healthy eating, physical activity, and mental engagement lowers the body's stress hormone levels, which reduces inflammation and stabilizes organ function, making harmful reactions to daily life less likely.
