A STUDY ON FOOD CHOICE AND HEALTH OUTCOMES OF IT PROFESSIONALS IN CHENNAI

Abstract

Work culture, marked by long hours, long stretches of work, sedentary habits, and high levels of stress, significantly modified the food preferences and physical conditions of IT professionals in Chennai. This study is designed to examine the most significant queries pertaining to food choice-making in relation to health dilemmas-like obesity, metabolic disorders, and their correlates among IT workers. Lifestyle and workplace factors were studied to find out whether any regularity exists in the dietary habits and the possible role played by digital food delivery mechanisms and corporate wellness programs. The findings of the study will shed light on the way forward for organizations and policymakers and would provide health practitioners with guidance to promote better eating habits and increased the well-being of IT professionals in Chennai.
