| Summary: | Transitioning from adolescence to adulthood for individuals aged 18 to 29 involves challenges and demands. This research explores the key challenges and needs of the lived experiences of young adults aged 18 to 29 in practising healthy eating. A qualitative research methodology was employed, using a phenomenological approach to investigate personal and subjective experiences. The study revealed five focused topics and 20 themes clustered into thirteen information categories reflecting their challenges and demands. It highlights knowledge of healthy eating practices among young adults and the need for targeted support systems and interventions to assist young adults in managing these challenges. |
