Abstract:
Different age group has different categories of health. A systematic review was conducted to
examine the barriers to, and facilitators of, healthy eating among young people. The review
focused on the wider determinants of health, examining community- and society-level
interventions. The effectiveness of the interventions was mixed, with improvements in
knowledge and increases in healthy eating but differences according to gender. Healthy
eating included poor school meal provision and ease of access to, relative cheapness of and
personal taste preferences for fast food. Facilitators included support from family, wider
availability of healthy foods, desire to look after one's appearance and will-power. Friends
and teachers were generally not a common source of information. Rigorous evaluation is
required particularly to assess the effectiveness of increasing the availability of affordable
healthy food in the public and private spaces occupied by young people.
We at Navigem Data Pvt Ltd are performing ‘Data Analytics for a Better Diet Routine using
R-Tool’ which is R based application that will help users to maintain their health in a very
good manner.
Introduction:
Healthy eating contributes to an overall sense of well-being, and is a cornerstone in the
prevention of a number of conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure,
stroke, cancer, dental caries and asthma. For children and young people, healthy eating is
particularly important for healthy growth and cognitive development. Eating behaviours
adopted during this period are likely to be maintained into adulthood, underscoring the
importance of encouraging healthy eating as early as possible. Guidelines recommend
consumption of at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, reduced intakes of
saturated fat and salt and increased consumption of complex carbohydrates. A survey of
young people aged 11–16 years found that nearly one in five did not eat breakfast before
going to school. Recent figures also show alarming numbers of obese and overweight
children and young people. Discussion about how to tackle the ‘epidemic’ of obesity is
currently high on the health policy agenda, and effective health promotion remains a key
strategy
