Around **** million people in Germany were especially interested in healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle as of 2024, in a population of roughly ** million. Figures for this category did not change noticeably during the timeline shown on the graph. In fact, the distribution between the different answers to the corresponding survey remained similar. The Allensbach Market and Advertising Media Analysis (Allensbacher Markt- und Werbeträgeranalyse or AWA in German) determines attitudes, consumer habits and media usage of the population in Germany on a broad statistical basis. Food, drink and cigarettes Despite the availability of constantly expanding information on what consumers can do to stay healthy, everyone’s understanding of this still differs. Personal preferences and circumstances play a role in decision-making and motivation. While most people may indeed want to eat healthy and lead the accompanying lifestyle, they cannot always afford to, literally. Rising food prices in recent years have put a strain on households, with product categories across the board recording significant increases. 2024 saw saw relief, however. To make an example of foods typically associated with healthy eating, vegetable prices decreased by around *** percent, while fruit prices grew by roughly *** percent. All the same, a recent survey on health-conscious behavior revealed encouraging results. Around ** percent of respondents stated they did not smoke, and ** percent did not drink excessively. Making a move With movement and exercise being vital parts of leading a healthy lifestyle, it is interesting to see which types of sports Germans prefer. Based on a survey published in 2024, fitness studios had around **** million members and were in the lead. Other leading types of physical activity pursued included soccer, gymnastics and tennis. These are all activities that require additional spending, as they usually include going to a particular venue and using specific equipment, as well as working with a trainer. There are, of course, “free” types of exercise that contribute positively to leading a healthy life, such as walking and cycling. Both can be a regular part of daily routines and commutes, without extra planning. Especially when it comes to shorter distances, cycling to work, school or university is a popular alternative to using the car or public transport for many Germans.

A survey conducted in 2020 revealed that a combined ** percent of the respondents aged between 18 and 24 years old in the United Kingdom (UK) agreed overall that a healthy diet was an important part of their life, compared to * percent of the 65 year-olds or older respondents. Nearly a ***** of the respondents within the 55 to 64 years old category strongly disagreed with this statement.

According to a survey in Malaysia conducted in December 2018, ** percent of male respondents and ** percent of female respondents claimed that they ate healthy foods most of the time. Malaysia has one of the highest rates of obesity in Asia, and has recently introduced a sugar tax to combat obesity.

“Health requires healthy food."

Roger Williams (1603 – 1683)

In the past couple months, we’ve witnessed doctors, nurses, paramedics and thousands of medical workers putting their lives on the frontline to save patients who are infected. And as the battle with COVID-19 continues, we should all ask ourselves – What should we do to help out? What can we do to protect our loved ones, those who sacrifice for us, and ourselves from this pandemic?
These questions all relate back to the CORD-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge Task Question: “What do we know about non-pharmaceutical interventions?”
And my simple answer is : We need to protect our families and our own healths by adapting to a healthy diet.

Inspiration and Research Objectives

The USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion recommends a very simple daily diet intake guideline: 30% grains, 40% vegetables, 10% fruits, and 20% protein, but are we really eating in the healthy eating style recommended by these food divisions and balances?
In this dataset, I have combined data of different types of food, world population obesity and undernourished rate, and global COVID-19 cases count from around the world in order to learn more about how a healthy eating style could help combat the Corona Virus. And from the dataset, we can gather information regarding diet patterns from countries with lower COVID infection rate, and adjust our own diet accordingly.
In each of the 4 datasets below, I have calculated fat quantity, energy intake (kcal), food supply quantity (kg), and protein for different categories of food (all calculated as percentage of total intake amount). I've also added on the obesity and undernourished rate (also in percentage) for comparison. The end of the datasets also included the most up to date confirmed/deaths/recovered/active cases (also in percentage of current population for each country).

This table contains data on the modified retail food environment index for California, its regions, counties, cities, towns, and census tracts. An adequate, nutritious diet is a necessity at all stages of life. Pregnant women and their developing babies, children, adolescents, adults, and older adults depend on adequate nutrition for optimum development and maintenance of health and functioning. Nutrition also plays a significant role in causing or preventing a number of illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease, some cancers, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and anemia. Peoples’ food choices and their likelihood of being overweight or obese are also influenced by their food environment: the foods available in their neighborhoods including stores, restaurants, schools, and worksites. The modified retail food environment index table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project (HCI) of the Office of Health Equity. The goal of HCI is to enhance public health by providing data, a standardized set of statistical measures, and tools that a broad array of sectors can use for planning healthy communities and evaluating the impact of plans, projects, policy, and environmental changes on community health. The creation of healthy social, economic, and physical environments that promote healthy behaviors and healthy outcomes requires coordination and collaboration across multiple sectors, including transportation, housing, education, agriculture and others. Statistical metrics, or indicators, are needed to help local, regional, and state public health and partner agencies assess community environments and plan for healthy communities that optimize public health. More information on HCI can be found here: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OHE/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Accessible%202%20CDPH_Healthy_Community_Indicators1pager5-16-12.pdf The format of the modified retail food environment table is based on the standardized data format for all HCI indicators. As a result, this data table contains certain variables used in the HCI project (e.g., indicator ID, and indicator definition). Some of these variables may contain the same value for all observations.

This table contains data on the average cost of a market basket of nutritious food items relative to income for female-headed households with children, for California, its regions, counties, and cities/towns. The ratio uses data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Census Bureau. The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity. An adequate, nutritious diet is a necessity at all stages of life. Inadequate diets can impair intellectual performance and have been linked to more frequent school absence and poorer educational achievement in children. Nutrition also plays a significant role in causing or preventing a number of illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease, some cancers, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and anemia. At least two factors influence the affordability of food and the dietary choices of families – the cost of food and family income. The inability to afford food is a major factor in food insecurity, which has a spectrum of effects including anxiety over food sufficiency or food shortages; reduced quality or desirability of diet; and disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake.

The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) is a measure of diet quality that assesses conformance to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. USDA’s (United States Department of Agriculture) primary use of the HEI is to monitor the diet quality of the U.S. population and the low-income subpopulation. For this purpose the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) uses the data collected via 24-hour dietary recalls in national surveys.

Abstract The scope of this study is to analyze the relationship between self-perception of eating habits and observance of the Ten Steps to Adequate and Healthy Eating among university students in Porto Alegre/RS. An online questionnaire was applied to students at a private university in Porto Alegre. Personal information, anthropometric data and eating behavior of the participants were collected. Data were analyzed by frequency and proportion, and statistical associations using Pearson’s Chi-square and the linear trend test, adopting a significance level of 5%, using version 23.0 of the SPSS statistical program. The sample consisted of 357 students, 61.3% of which were female, between 20 and 29 years of age (56%). A total of 34.2% of the students were overweight and 55.5% did not consider they had healthy eating habits. Low observance was observed in eight of the Ten Steps to Adequate and Healthy Eating A review of healthy eating revealed an inverse relationship with observance of the guideline steps, since only 3 steps were followed by more than 60% of the students who evaluated their own eating habits positively. This result suggests that this population may have a distorted view of their own eating habits and need to be enlightened regarding adequate and healthy eating.

ABSTRACT Objective: Identify and analyze the scientific literature on digital technologies for promotion of healthy eating habits in teenagers. Method: Integrative review of articles published in English and Spanish, available in full on four databases. The descriptors used were (Adolescent health) OR (Teen health) AND (Healthy diet) OR (Healthy eating) AND (Educational technology) OR (Instructional technology), respectively, from which eight articles were selected. Results: Among the studies included, three were digital games; two web-based nutrition interventions; two using online programs to prevent obesity; and one nutritional advice using multimedia. They showed experiences of digital technology and its effects on knowledge improvement and/or behavior of participants when developing healthy eating habits. Conclusion: Digital technologies are innovative tools present in the lives of teenagers, with the possibility of being used for education and promotion of healthy eating, contributing to the empowerment of the subject for his/her self-care.

In 2024, about ** percent of respondents in the United States that the term "fresh" best defines healthy food to them. This was the most frequently chosen definition. The term "low in sugar" was the third most frequently chosen definition for healthy foods, with nearly ** percent of respondents choosing this definition.

Healthy eating patterns in the U.S.

High-protein and mindful eating are the two most common eating patterns among U.S. consumers. These two eating patterns are followed by about ** and ** percent of surveyed consumers, respectively. Other popular eating patterns included intermittent fasting, calorie-counting, and clean eating. Among those consumers who follow a specific eating pattern or diet, more than ** percent stated that their motivation is to protect their long-term health or to prevent future health conditions. Additionally, eating healthier is the most commonly made change by Americans who adjust their diet to try to manage or reduce stress, as stated by more than half of consumers who have tried to reduce their stress levels.

Sugar consumption in the U.S.

Excessive sugar consumption is one of the things that may prevent people from having a healthy diet. Over 11 million metric tons of sugar are consumed by Americans annually. The consumption of sugar in the U.S. has steadily increased during the last 14 years. The annual sugar consumption is now about ********* metric tons higher than it was in 2010/11. Nonetheless, approximately ********** of American consumers state that they are trying to limit sugars in their diet. Moreover, about ** percent of consumers state that they attempt to avoid sugar completely. Trying to improve the diet in general is the most common reason for limiting or avoiding sugars among U.S. consumers. Avoiding gaining weight, preventing a health condition, and losing weight are also among the top reasons.
