Studies: Healthy eating is not just about what we eat

When most people think about eating healthy, they focus primarily on what they eat. They know they should eat more fruits and vegetables, less junk food, or fewer calories, and they stick to it. But eating healthy is much more complex than just choosing foods. Our behaviors and attitudes toward food play an equally important role.

In recent years, research has shown that shifting our focus from the food itself to the experience of eating can have significant benefits for our physical and mental health.

What do we think a healthy diet means?

A study in Nutrients reports that the association of healthy eating exclusively with diet has strengthened since the 1980s, when concerns about obesity grew. However, its causes are much more complex than what a person eats. Meanwhile, the constant pressure for better nutrition has not significantly reduced obesity rates.

On the contrary, scientists have shown that this obsession has been linked to an increase in disordered eating behaviors and eating disorders. Therefore, it is clear that we need to change the way we perceive healthy eating./CNA
