Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a new Special Issue in Nutrients entitled “The Impact of Food Choices, and Food Neophobia on Health and the Quality of Life”.
Food neophobia could play a crucial role in shaping an individual’s food choices, health outcomes and quality of life, while the influence of food choices on health and the quality of life is also important. As essential components of daily living, these factors are associated with various factors, including physical health, mental health, and social interactions. Understanding the relationship between these factors is essential to develop effective strategies to promote healthier dietary behaviors and enhance an individual’s quality of life.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present the relationship between food choices, food neophobia, and health outcomes, while also exploring their implications in an individual’s quality of life. We invite original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses on the following topics:
- Consumer motivations and perception of food products, as well as the resulting food choices;
- Determinants of food neophobia and its association with food choices;
- The effects of food choices on the physical, mental, or social health outcomes;
- Food choices for prevention and treatment of diet-related diseases;
- The role of food neophobia in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood;
- Lifestyle strategies to promote beneficial food choices from childhood to an elderly age;
- Dietary guidelines and food choices that promote quality of life and well-being.
Other topics within the scope of “The Impact of Food Choices, and Food Neophobia on Health and the Quality of Life” are also welcome.
