Food and physical enviroments

Food and physical environments.

Food and physical environments are critical to promoting a healthy lifestyle and preventing the various forms of maternal and child malnutrition.

The food environment includes factors that influence availability, accessibility and choice of food, such as proximity to stores, food prices, government policies, and cultural and social influences. These factors determine what food is available and how easily or affordably people can access it, which affects their eating habits, health and nutrition. On the other hand, the physical environment includes the spaces and infrastructure that facilitate or hinder physical activity and exercise.
