Early eating patterns significantly influence lifelong dietary choices. Children who are introduced to a variety of healthy foods are more likely to adopt these patterns as adults. Conversely, diets high in processed foods or sugar at a young age can lead to preferences for unhealthy options later in life. Family and cultural influences, along with exposure to different foods, shape individuals’ perceptions and habits regarding nutrition. Establishing healthy eating habits early on can set the foundation for lifelong wellness and disease prevention.
