Consuming a healthy diet throughout the life-course helps to prevent
malnutrition in all its forms as well as a range of noncommunicable diseases
(NCDs) and conditions. However, increased production of processed foods, rapid
urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to a shift in dietary patterns. People
are now consuming more foods high in energy, fats, free sugars and salt/sodium,
and many people do not eat enough fruit, vegetables and other dietary fibre such
as whole grains.
Diet evolves over time, being influenced by many social and economic
factors that interact in a complex manner to shape individual dietary patterns.
These factors include income, food prices (which will affect the availability and
affordability of healthy foods), individual preferences and beliefs, cultural
traditions, and geographical and environmental aspects (including climate
change). Therefore, promoting a healthy food environment – including food
systems that promote a diversified, balanced and healthy diet – requires the
involvement of multiple sectors and stakeholders, including government, and the
public and private sectors.
