Abstract
Purpose: Eating has always been crucial to human survival.

Over time, gastronomy has become more diverse due to various civilizations.

Findings: Food consumption throughout life has a direct and indirect impact on an individual’s entire personality. As we age, our bodies’ needs vary. However, most of the time, dietary preferences do not match dietary needs, which can lead to a variety of disorders like obesity, high blood pressure, hypertension, fatty liver, and others.
