Nurturing Student Well-Being in the Modern World: Nutrition and Its Effect on Cognitive Functioning

Abstract

This study explores people's views on the link between diet and cognitive performance, aiming to illuminate nuanced aspects. Using qualitative methods with college-age participants, it delves into knowledge, opinions on food, and barriers to dietary changes for cognitive health. Preliminary findings reveal diverse attitudes, contributing qualitative insights to existing knowledge. The results may impact public health, dietary guidance, and interventions for cognitive well-being, emphasizing the need to understand diverse perspectives for culturally sensitive strategies.
