Description
This presentation will explore the relationship between nutrition and mental health. The goal of this research is to relate to college students about nutritious foods they can eat that can fuel their body and help them stay motivated throughout a stressful and busy college schedule. The motivation for this project is based on the real-life experiences of MSUM nursing students, highlighting how food choices affect their ability to cope with college stress. Our research will showcase how saturated fats, refined sugars and ultra-processed foods affect brain function, emotional regulation, and how the body responds. In comparison, it will also explore how adding in gut-healthy and whole foods positively impacts our daily lives. Attendees will gain valuable insight into managing their mood through healthier dietary choices while also providing resources to track their progress. By understanding the powerful connection between food and mood, individuals are able to make informed choices that enhance their physical and emotional health.
