When people you care about are engaging in self-destructive behavior, you have a duty to help if asked.

There are many factors that influence an individual's physical condition that we will discuss in detail (Genetics, hormones, metabolism, medications, psychology, nutrition, and physical activity). Some of these we can influence, and some we can't.
