Major in healthy eating
Healthy eating can improve your alertness, cognition, memory, and problem-solving abilities, so it’s no surprise that proper nutrition impacts your academic performance. Nutritional eating can be hard in college, though. New experiences and freedoms to eat what and when you want, as well as increased consumption of junk foods and snacking, can sabotage healthy habits. College also brings more stressors—anxiety about classes or new environments, homesickness, sadness—that can lead to unhealthy choices.
