OSAKA,
Japan, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ando
Foundation (hereinafter "the Foundation") and Nissin Food
Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "the Company"), in cooperation with
Gallup, a global analytics and advisory firm based in the United States, have released the latest
results of a follow-up study on nourishing wellbeing, proving the
strong relationship between food and wellbeing again as did the
first report (2023 edition).
Although it is widely accepted that food is the foundation of
health, the direct relationship between food and wellbeing had not
been made clear for many years. This led the Foundation and
the Company, together with Gallup, to conduct the first global
study in 2022 based on the hypothesis that food is an essential
component of wellbeing, and the results were published in 2023.
"Making it clear that food satisfaction is an important
indicator of improving wellbeing"
The latest study showed that people who were completely
satisfied were 1.71 times more likely than those who were not to be
experiencing wellbeing, and reiterated that food, like income, was
an essential component of wellbeing. The connection between
satisfaction with food and four societal indicators (Life
Evaluation Index, Positive Experience Index, Social Life Index, and
Community Attachment Index) related to quality of life (QOL) was
also indicated in the study, providing evidence that the Food
Wellbeing Index itself is a strong societal indicator.
Furthermore, a new discovery is the global decline in
satisfaction with food, especially among young people. As
background factors for it, experts point out a global decrease in
opportunities for families to get together and the dilution of
parent-child relationships in Japan. Regarding the situation in Japan, which did not have a high percentage of
people who enjoy food, they also recommend the need at home and in
schools for education and awareness-raising to increase
wellbeing.
