Women generally worry more about their diet and appearance than men. They are more likely to go on diets and to the gym daily, and eat more fresh, low-fat foods while avoiding fatty and sugary options. This focus on appearance seems to stem from influence from media portrayals of women, and some women's desire to find a partner by maintaining physical attractiveness. However, views are changing and gender roles are becoming more equal in terms of health and diet concerns. Overall, maintaining a balanced diet is important for everyone's long-term health and well-being.
