Experiencing nature has been linked to a host of benefits for health and well-being. Here, we examine if exposure to nature influences the food choices that may contribute to nature's benefits. Five between-subject experiments (n = 39, n = 698, n = 885, n = 1191, and n = 913) show that individuals exposed to the natural environment choose healthier foods when compared to those exposed to urban environments or a control condition. Nature's effects are observed for various foods and beverages, across samples from three countries, and in varied contexts, such as taking a walk in a park (vs. a city street) and looking at photos of nature (vs. urban or control) scenes. These findings provide insights into the relationship between proximity to nature and health.
接触自然已被证明与诸多对健康和幸福有益的方面相关联。在此，我们探究接触自然是否会影响那些可能有助于获得自然益处的食物选择。五项被试间实验（样本量分别为n = 39、n = 698、n = 885、n = 1191和n = 913）表明，与接触城市环境或处于对照条件下的个体相比，接触自然环境的个体选择更健康的食物。在来自三个国家的不同样本中，以及在各种情境下，如在公园散步（与城市街道相对）和观看自然场景照片（与城市或对照场景相对）时，均观察到了自然对各类食物和饮品的影响。这些发现为亲近自然与健康之间的关系提供了见解。
