Today, with increased accessibility to the Internet and extensive marketing techniques, it’s often assumed that lifestyle choices, including health choices, are influenced by celebrities and influencers. However, a new survey shows that this is not the case and in fact, health choices are mostly influenced by family and friends. According to the Press Trust of India, the report showed 76% of surveyed Indians' health choices were influenced by what their family and friends thought of as healthy. It also highlighted that family get-togethers, festive occasions and stressful times as the "three most difficult moments" that lead to emotional eating wherein respondents have admitted to giving up on their health goals.
