Dietary diversity explained

Dietary diversity is the variety or the number of different food groups people eat over the time given.[1] Many researchers might use the word ' dietary diversity' and ‘dietary variety’ interchangeably.[2] However, some researchers differentiate the definition between 2 words that dietary diversity has defined as the difference of food groups while dietary variety has focused on the actual food items people intake.[3]

The "Nutritional Diversity" study or "Biodiverse Food Study, Panama," conducted by permaculturist and athlete Brandon Eisler, and team, indicates that a diversity of naturally grown foods in the area of more than 60 different species constitutes complete "evolutionary" or "optimal performance and health diet," and goes on to say the demand for this model can solve several planetary, and ecological health concerns even in the conversation of climate change.[4]

Dietary diversity is related to nutrient intakes and is also an indicator of dietary quality.[5] Moreover, dietary diversity associated with health outcomes such as being overweight [6] or an increased mortality.[7] Dietary diversity is influenced by various determinants such as physical and mental health, economic status, or food environment.[8]
