Diet influences and solutions by: Eric and Ryan

Solutions to third party influences

In order to make ensure that personal issues no longer become a physical or psychological factor, you need to seek professional assistance. Generally a psychologist for psychological therapy or a physiotherapist for more physical based therapy in order to resolve diet issues. Such as changing the mindset of anorexia so the one suffering from it no longer starves themselves as a result. Or change the fact that you physically cannot consume certain foods without side effects, such as getting rid of lactose intolerance with a fermented dairy diet.

Having the funds to buy good food and time to ensure it is helping you will help in keeping a healthy diet. You could choose homemade meals so to can control the nutrients that go into them. If you are short on time you can do a meal prep at the start of the week making all your food and storing it in the fridge

If your friends and family are having negative impacts on your food choices then there are a few things that you can do to stay healthy. You could try to inform them about healthy eating habits and how they would positively affect their lives. You could try to buy your own food. If its friends you could stop eating with them or simply bring your own food

Find alternative healthy ways to prepare cultural food that still satisfy your religion or culture without being detrimental to your health. You could tone down the frequency that you are consuming the unhealthy food. You could inform members of your culture that the way they are eating is unhealthy allowing them to understand if you consume less of whatever unhealthy food that you are telling them about.

You can choose better media sources that refer to food in order to reduce the having negative influence on your diet. By “better media” I mean media sources that give less biased and more factual information regarding food in order to give you insightful information to make a decision regarding your diet. Some media could be beneficial (such as reputable outlets that are run by health specialists) by promoting factual information that could be used to improve health.

Third party influence

Personal issues

Psychological problems and being stressed from everyday activities will generally alter your diet to an unhealthy extent to cope. Such as binge eating to cope with depression, which makes your problems bigger.

Budget and time

As a direct result of poor budget or lack of time, you may not be getting sufficient nutrients and calories every day or excessive nutrients and calories. Such as not having enough money to buy healthy food or having time to prepare food that is ideal so you resort to something unhealthy, cheap and easy (eg. college students using ramen noodles).

Family/Friends/Associates

Encouragement is the primary way people you know personally will influence your diet. Such as if you are obese (in a fat way, not high BMI but good muscle mass) or underweight to adjust your diet to favor your health. People you know personally can also affect your diet healthily and unhealthily due to jealousy (such as wanting one of your friend's diets but going to drastic and unhealthy measures or you could go for a healthy way).friends diets but going to drastic and unhealthy measures or you could go for a healthy way).

Religious/cultural

Indoctrination in certain religions means following the standards of diet for those religions. That generally means certain foods are prohibited for consumption, therefore they have to ensure their diet meets their daily needs while working around those prohibitions (such as Hinduism being a vegetarian religion so there will need other ways to ensure protein needs). Cultural influences are a result of where you live and what food you consume is defined by what is available and popular (geographical factor).

Media

Media encourages certain daily routines in behavior in terms of health by showing "ideal" body forms. Generally forms unhealthy habits among consumers of media that encourages health in an unnatural way.
