Our 'food environments' affect what we eat. Here's how you can change yours to support healthier eating

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, January 16, 2024

Achieving these is often challenging – it can be difficult to change our eating habits.

Key Points: 
  • Achieving these is often challenging – it can be difficult to change our eating habits.
  • The collective physical, economic, policy and sociocultural surroundings, opportunities and conditions that influence people’s food and beverage choices and nutritional status.
  • But it’s possible to change certain aspects of our personal food environments, making eating healthier a little easier.

Unhealthy food environments

  • Our food environments also provide us with various prompts to eat unhealthy foods via the media and advertising, alongside health and nutrition claims and appealing marketing images on food packaging.
  • For example, social occasions or work functions might see large amounts of unhealthy food on offer.
  • Here’s what’s driving our unhealthy food habits

Not everyone is affected in the same way

  • People who are more susceptible will likely eat more and eat more unhealthy foods than those who are more immune to the effects of food environments and situations.
  • These people might also be more likely to experience physiological reactions to food cues including changes in heart rate and increased salivation.
  • Some of us tend to eat when we’re tired or in a bad mood, having learned over time eating provides comfort in these situations.
  • Being in front of a TV or other screen can also prompt people to eat, eat unhealthy foods, or eat more than intended.

Making changes

  • Then you can restructure some aspects of your personal food environments, which can help if you’re working towards healthier eating goals.
  • Foods consumed as snacks are often sugary drinks, confectionery, chips and cakes.
  • Try removing unhealthy foods, particularly packaged snacks, from the house, or not buying them in the first place.
  • This means temptations are removed, which can be especially helpful for those who may be more susceptible to their food environment.
