The authors analyze and interpret the data of the Czech Statistical Office about the consumption of the selected foods in the form of secondary analysis. The effort was to take into account the assessment of the trends as well as to deduce their possible impact on the health condition of an individual. From the analyses mentioned, it is obvious that in the selected statistical data of the development of food and beverages consumption in the Czech Republic the tendencies towards healthy life style have not been unambiguous or significant within the last eight years.

Keywords: health, healthy life style, food consumption, beverages consumption, cigarettes consumption, civilization diseases
