THE INFLUENCE OF RATIONAL NUTRITION ON THE HEALTH OF STUDENTS

Abstract

Nutrition is the most important component of human health. All vital functions of the body are closely related to nutrition. Now everyone talks about the dangers of overeating, but both excess nutrition and undernutrition are wrong. Both are equally harmful to people’s health. The problem of rational nutrition is very relevant these days. Improper diet is the first cause of diseases of the digestive system. The majority most of the population neglects their health. Lack of time, incompetence in matters of food culture, the pace of modern life - all this has led to indiscriminate choice of products. We are concerned about the growing popularity among students of fast-food products containing large quantities of various flavors, dyes, and modified components. Therefore, poor nutrition becomes a serious risk factor for the development of many diseases. Unfortunately, statistics in recent years show a sharp increase among young people in people suffering from obesity, diseases of the cardiovascular system, and diabetes. Such diseases can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle and, first, eating right. Modern science convincingly proves that by changing the nature and diet you can positively influence all systems and processes in the human body, increase your immunity, vital activity, influence many diseases, and slow down the aging process. Poor nutrition is the main source of many problems of modern man and short life expectancy. Thus, the purpose of the work is: to study the principles of rational nutrition of students, to study the degree of awareness of students about the need to adhere to the rules of rational nutrition in everyday life, to conduct a social study to study the characteristics of nutrition and eating behavior of students [2].
