There are so many causes in college students’ lifestyles that can significantly affect their health. Diet and nutrition help them in multiple ways. Consuming the appropriate amount of nutrients is crucial for their bodies to be properly working.
When they go through the rigors of college life, their diets begin to deteriorate, and they gain or shed extra pounds. They tend to skip meals, improper weight management, and food intake usually becomes intermittent or disorganized because of their tight and erratic schedules.
In a study, thousands of college students at 66 schools were interviewed, and 36 percent were classified as “food insecure” on their campuses, meaning they did not get enough to eat.
Not getting enough to eat in this context means these students couldn’t afford to buy healthy food.
