Health lifestyle perspectives emphasize those individual choices about health behaviors are influenced by the social, cultural, and economic forces that frame and constrain individual choices.

3.2 Demographic factors
Demographic factors are the next point of challenges on managing healthy lifestyle. This is because of demographic factors such as age, gender, income, education and ethnicity et hnicity makes the person to follow on their desire or tradition practices since child to adult. For example, a kid will prefer eat delicious foods like chocolates, sweets and candies perhaps healthier food like fruits and vegetables. But the kid’s parents just get the food which she prefer in order to make her eat but not educate her on the benefits of foods. When the kid grows older, the eating habits will also be according to their desires but not by the needs. Moreover some parents are low income workers where they buy foods based on their income and they might not be able to provide food which contains all balanced diet ele ment.

Parents should teach children on the benefits of eating healthy food. They should educate their children about the food pyramids since child. This practice will helps them to implement eating balanced diet food even if they grow older; they manage their daily eating habits by including the basic elements of balanced diet.
