Most of the TV commercials are focusing unhealthy food patterns.

Food inventory: Does your home environment and neighborhood support your healthy environment or not. Like, don’t buy a lot of eatables at once and store them in the fridge. It will push you to unhealthy eating. Don’t buy unnecessary food like sweets candies.

The environment of the neighborhood: Like the crime rate in, green belts, the educational status of your neighborhood definitely affects your healthy activity.
