4.2 What Are The Difficulties Faced By Young Women In Sustaining

Similarly, in Hughes article “Student food insecurity: The skeleton in the university closet,” published on February 24th, 2011, in the book Nutrition & Dietetics vol. 68, examines the consequences of food insecurity, health risks involved, and how it can be a negative impact on academic performance. There is a reason why humans have dietary

Almost everyone has experienced peer pressure before, either positive or negative. Peer pressure is when

The consumption of alcohol as a habitual behavior has long been associated with the American collegiate experience, despite the many known negative consequences a student who partakes in drinking can encounter. Because of the danger drunken students pose to a college’s reputation and the safety of its surrounding areas, much research has been done concerning the collegiate party and drinking scenes. This research mostly studied the demographics of the student body, so strategies developed to curtail the illegal or overconsumption of alcohol could be targeted towards the specific groups that demonstrated the highest likelihood of participating in these acts. When the strategies were implemented, however, there was little decline in the number of college students who chose to party and drink (Vander Ven 2011). This failure did not point toward a flaw in the research data, but instead a lack of research into the benefits a collegiate drinker receives that are rewarding to the point he or she cannot resist. This is the topic of Getting Wasted: Why College Students Drink Too Much and Party So Hard by Thomas Vander Ven.

Eating as a college student can have it shares of eating problems, healthy, deep fired, homemade and fast food. When in college, there is a moment when we are free of problems when suddenly one problem shows up with another one showing up few moments with a third one not far apart equaling not one, not two but three problems that need to be fixed. From one of those three problems is hunger because it’s common for people to be hungry anytime of the day. Eduardo Martinez’s interesting argument article “A college argument”, has an interested argument that its target audience is college students because for starters, it has the subject college within the title making it easy to whom it talks about.

These lifestyles are best summarized by the author Louis Rene Beres in his article “The Few, The Proud, The Individuals” as being caused by the American tendency to be “gorged with bad food.” In summary, the American people have become so accustomed to their complicated, daily routine that they do not stop to enjoy a healthy, homemade dinner. Thus, these complicated lifestyles, that include frequent trips to fast food restaurants, help increase obesity rates. This increase in obesity rates, has also come to affect many children and adolescents (teenagers). The increasing rates of obesity in teenagers and children and the small attention they are being paid is an issue that is prevalent in America. Current experts say that the solution to obesity is to manufacture new drugs, change exercising habits, and to decrease advertisements of unhealthy foods. They should instead consider leading a simplified life that allows one to remain in contact with

Peer pressure is the influence that one person or group has on another. Peer pressure is a devastating force that affects the lives of millions across the world. Most often, peer pressure receives a reputation for being demeaning, harsh, brutal, and generally negative. However, peer pressure can inspire the affected party to rise above the cruelty and positively impact their own lives. Yes, peer pressure may negatively affect someone’s life, but it may also change their life in a positive manner.

The consumption of alcohol in the college environment has been growing in popularity for as long as it has been available. College students, whether freshman or upperclassmen, spend the entire week yearning for the weekend where they are free from the responsibilities that keep them sober. New students desire to be accepted by their peers, and consuming what is offered to them provides them a with a one-way ticket to social adoption, or so it seems. But what if students are not drinking solely for social purposes? What if alcohol and drunkenness offered the student a method to forget about the papers that are due on Monday, their professors, and their grades and

Conduct research on Eating Habits among Degree KPTMKL Student and Its implication Toward Learning. Generally, dietary habits affect our health. The body needs a balanced supply of nutrients to remain healthy. Many nutrients are obtained through food, among which are vitamins, minerals, protein and carbohydrates. Foods that serve as fuel for energy supplies needed for our daily activities and allows systems in the body to function properly. Instead, practice and eating patterns. Unhealthy will give a serious threat to human physical and mental health. For example, according to the Cook-Cottone and Distria (2005), children and adolescents consider the shape and size of the ideal body is important. They will try to get the desired shape

G. 2011). This explains why students may drink as this may be the behaviour of the in group and in order to be associated with them an individual will engage in the same behaviour to be socially approved. Those that do not drink would be considered as the out-group not taking part in the normative behaviour. So students give in to peer pressure to fit in with the in group. This idea is also supported by Borsari, B., & Carey, K. B. 2001, who found a great deal of evidence that reveals that “interpersonal processes strongly influence college student drinking” through direct influences, modelling, and perceived

A major part of the college social scene is revolved around alcohol use, drinking, partying and going out. That is why bars particularly have become a popular attraction for college students to migrate to after a long week of classes. Stress from the syllabi and the eagerness to socialize are factors in the motivation getting college students out and about. My curiosity as a college student myself, has led me to study other college students’ behavior when they go to bars and “distress” from arduous schoolwork. In my research, I observe and compare how students behave in a bar setting in two different locations: West Hartford, Connecticut and Charleston, South Carolina.

The research article by Nastaskin & Fiocco (2015) titled “A survey of diet self-efficacy and food intake in students with high and low perceived stress” is to address unhealthy eating habits in young adults and its causes. The research question examined by the authors argued that understanding the relationship between stress, self-efficacy and food choice in young adulthood may have implications for preventing negative health outcomes later in life that stem from poor eating habits. The current study examined whether stress levels and diet self-efficacy may be associated with unhealthy eating habits in young adults (Nastaskin et al., 2015). Reading the introduction the authors addressed important details that relate to the question being asked in the research. One example addressed in the introduction was that stress levels can become heightened in certain situations, but greater self-efficacy

Eating habits are closely associated with our perception of eating. There can be also exogenous factors that affects our eating habits such as getting low mark from the exam or ending of a romantic relationship. Some people tend to be eat more or less depends on these triggering situations. This study will examine the relationship between stress and eating disorder among üniversity students. (They will not be clinically diagnosed) Eating disorders will be measured by using Eating Attitudes Test and stress level will be measured by using Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale. Data will be collected from 100 male and female university students in a campus setting and via e-mail. It is expected that students who have high stress level tend to have disturbed attitude toward eating which may leads to eating disorder. It is not a cause and effect relationship ,but Eating Attitudes Test will reflect students ' tendency to have eating disorder. Also, abnormal eating patterns will be included in this article such as bulimia, binge eating and anorexia.

Over the recent decades the emerging importance that nutrition has on stress management in college students along with others has become a controversial topic all across different Universities and Public Institutions. Hence, for years, society has suspected that stress and nutrition are linked and now after so many years, scientific research has found evidence to support this connection. In an article by Fysekidis & Kouacou (2015), research suggest to help explain this link and, as more individuals become more aware of and gain a better understanding of these reasons, they may be better able to address the effects of stress and nutrition epidemic facing the United States. Amidst this obesity epidemic there has been many findings that support how stress and nutrition can be directly linked to obesity and what one can do to avoid eating unhealthy when times are tough. In article, by, Fysekidis & Kouacou (2015), cleverly presented their findings in four sections. Kathleen Smyth and Harold Koenig presented their first section by briefly sharing that by combining stress management and spiritual principles can be a healthy outlet for self-growth and learning to handle anything that comes one’s way which in turn helps reduce obesity levels and how it can be an important factor in reducing stress. Along with how it is also alarming since these practices are not commonly used. Kathleen Smyth and Harold Koenig, also goes into depth suggesting how college students that transition from

From the survey administered to 98 students in Brooklyn College through interns working with Dietitian we found that 96 students were undergraduate and only 2 students were graduate level. The survey mainly have students of younger age as compared to overall student body on campus. 79.5 percent of students showed concern about their overall health status but only 41.8 %

Many people are very strict with their eating habits, while others are completely flexible. There is a great combination of patterns which people follow when it comes to eating, with some people even following the pattern of complete unpredictability. I am interested in looking at the eating habits of kinesiology students, because they are more likely to have received some formal education on nutrition practices and are also more likely to pay attention to their nutrition practices. The main idea of this paper is to look at the nutritional practices of students, particularly how often they eat and how they view macronutrients, and to ascertain whether the students believe their current nutritional practices are healthy. The significance of this is to look at different perceptions of what is “healthy” in regards to food. I would like to determine whether there is currently a more common, accepted idea of what is “healthy” among students, or if there is a great deal of differing opinions on the matter. Acquiring this knowledge will be valuable in knowing whether students are receiving sufficient education on nutrition practices, or if they are receiving lots of education, but with differing views, pointing to the need for more research in terms of nutrition practices. I would like to specifically look at the frequency of students’ consumption of food in a day, such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Additionally, I would like to study which macronutrients
