Yes, well proven!: What you are describing is the exciting pioneering research done by dean ornish md. Until these landmark studies it was not thought that lifestyle changes could have such a profound impact. See http://www.Pmri.Org/research.Html#highlights and http://www.Amazon.Com/ornishs-program-reversing-heart-disease/dp/0804110387 many insurers now cover programs based on his research.
