Overview

Healthy eating habits are the consistent dietary patterns and behaviours that supply the body with the nutrients it needs while limiting excesses linked to ill health. They typically involve a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, lean proteins, and healthy fats, with moderation of added sugars, salt, and highly processed foods, as well as attention to portion size, regular meal patterns, and adequate hydration. Established over time and shaped by culture, environment, education, and access to food, healthy eating habits are associated with a reduced risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and some cancers, and they support energy, growth, and overall wellbeing across the lifespan. Research published in the International Journal of Nutrition examines these themes, including studies on culture and the Mediterranean diet, comparative dietary education in Japan and Korea from a nutritional-knowledge perspective, and barriers to managing childhood obesity amid the double burden of malnutrition. Related work addresses nutrition education, food choices in schools, and dietary guidelines, reflecting the journal's focus on the behavioural and public-health dimensions of nutrition. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to dietary patterns, nutrition education, and healthy eating.
