I felt as though this
was a great article to
use as the start of my
research because it
gave an overview of
what can and does
happen as a college
student. It provides
great examples and I
was able to relate in
many ways. This leads
me to my next article,
which discusses more
specifically about the
bad eating habits that
students obtain.
very beneficial.
acceptance, psychological
acceptance, and behavioral control.
After the study was completed, it
was proven that behavior control
and child-centered feeding
practices are promoted rather than
psychological control and parentcentered feeding. Using this
method, fruit and vegetable intake
during childhood will be helpful to
the weight of a child in the long
run.
Many students are introduced to
fad diets and conflicting messages
about nutrition. This author
addressed these issues and
pinpointed the main source that the
majority of college students use.
Specifically, The results of this
study suggested that individuals
may either know proper dietary
practices and choose not to apply
them or that they are confused
about them. It was found that
when students are confused they
turn to the internet or friends for
nutritious advice when really they
should consult a healthcare
professional. Facts on the internet
can sometimes be misleading such
as fad diets. These diets are
created by doctors with no
nutritional training and result in
quick weight loss. With quick
weight loss, most of the time
comes weight gain overtime. This
implies that fad diets are not
healthy for ones body and do not
have long-term results. To be clear
a healthy diet includes fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, and low
fat products and college students
as a whole are lacking these key
essentials. Eating healthy is not just
for ones satisfaction or
appearance, but also to prevent
I am not surprised by
anything I read
because I have had
personal experiences
with this information.
Many of my friends
have come to me for
advice or tried a fad
diet that in the long
run did not work. I
myself have used the
internet multiple time
for advice or answers
when really we as
college students need
to seek professionals
for accurate
information.
I am able to relate
because when I do not
eat the dailyrecommended amount
of fruits and vegetables
or do not make time for
breakfast, I perform
poorly in school and
classes. I have less
motivation and a
shorter attention span.
Proper nutrition is key
in daily life and this
article helped me to
express just that.
Through my research, I
found that many
students use the
internet for quick fixes
or advice for health.
Therefore, I chose this
article to support that
statement. The
internet and more
specifically search
engines such as Google
are used so many
times daily for
schoolwork and for
personal curiosities.
This information helped
me to solidify my
thoughts and advance
my research.
