pretty easy.. mine left.
With that said I have learned from watching 2 brother-in-laws die from heart attacks from extreme obesity, a younger sister who had diabetes and still smokes after 25 years and a relative die from alcoholism that NO ONE can make someone do something they do not want to do.
There is the age old saying... you can lead a horse to water yada yada yada.
All you can do is inform them and try and lead by example and hope they follow. If you talk about it too much it will be interpreted as nagging.
I myself use myself as an example. I have been told for years lose weight or I will shorten my life and I didn't listen until I started getting health problems. But I am thankful that at least I now see the light.
Many unfortunately don't.
All you can do is inform them, set a good example, kiss them every day and be happy for the day because everything can change with one phone call... I know.
Oh yeah and also taking out a large insurance policy doesn't hurt either!
