Health literacy can significantly affect dietary practices in adults by influencing their ability to understand and apply nutrition information. Individuals with higher health literacy are more likely to interpret food labels, follow dietary guidelines, and make informed choices regarding their nutrition. This understanding often leads to healthier eating habits, reduced consumption of unhealthy foods, and a greater emphasis on balanced diets. Conversely, lower health literacy can result in confusion and unhealthy dietary habits, ultimately contributing to chronic diseases. Therefore, improving health literacy is essential in fostering better dietary practices among adults.
