Pizza, soda, french fries, oh my! These are just a few of the favorite junk
foods most students at CSULB love to eat on a daily basis.
The effects these foods have on the brain during school
hours may have you reconsider calling pizza your favorite food of all-time.
Students at CSULB have many options to healthy eating. Although it seems like
students are not very educated on the positive effects that healthy, nutritious
foods have on the brain and body.
“When I started eating a healthier variety of foods, I
noticed an immediate change in my overall health, especially mental. Instead of
eating a pop tart for breakfast, I switched to eating fruits and vegetables. “
said Brittany Crosby, a second year kinesiology major at CSULB. Missing
breakfast or skipping out on any meals causes a lack of performance in the
classroom. The energy level in a student is low because the nutrients aren’t
there.

A proper nutrition is the best way for the brain to perform
as best as it can. A lack of proper nutrients and calories causes a difficult
time in school. Eating healthy also improves concentration and problem solving.
“I noticed this approach keeps me full with a mind that is
clear from any mental interruptions that may directly impact the efficiency of
how productive and attentive I am during my lectures. “ said Monae Broadnax, a third
year student at CSULB. “Eating healthier indirectly makes school easier.”
Whether or not school is something you enjoy getting up
every morning for, a good breakfast and healthy diet is always the best way to
turn any day into a productive one.
