Stress and Food Security
The Dietary Concerns
Stress can affect the perception of food safety and dietary choices by influencing nutritional habits, shaping food preferences, and impacting eating behaviors. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related concerns about access to nutritious food.
To promote healthy eating, practice stress management techniques such as meal planning, mindful eating practices, and accessing community food resources. Addressing stress enhances dietary well-being and supports food security initiatives.
