Eating behavior habits

Eating habits are affected by the fast food market. As a consequence, overweight and obesity are increasingly observed among young people. Obesity in combination with an unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking and physical inactivity, can increase the risk of chronic diseases. In this sense, nutritional knowledge can act as a deterrent against the tendency towards fast food. Thus, universities can contribute significantly to reducing the prevalence of obesity among the young population through the promotion of healthy eating habits. This book addresses these aspects in detail.
