A new study reported by CBS, shows that poor diets may be causing a rise in strokes among the younger generations. The percentage of people ages 20-45 who had a stoke in 2005 was up 7.3% – from 1993-94 when it was 4.5%. With more and more studies like this one coming out, we are realizing how important it is to educated our youth on good nutrition.
With that in mind, the following three articles are highlighted below because of their educational aspects.
We all know what the diet of a college student consists of – pizza, ramen noodles, and beer. And rarely do you see a single vegetable on one of those pizzas. Well Northwestern University decided to educate their student body a little on good nutrition. The University shared some great tips on how the students can improve their diets while having a limited cash flow. A lot of people are feeling the strains of limited cash flow at the moment so everyone may benefit from what Northwestern University has to say.
The ABC news segment, The View from the Bay, shared some interesting information on good fats vs. bad fats. They tell you that adding a healthy fat to every meal, such as oil, olives, nuts, or dark chocolate, is a great idea. But keep in mind that a little goes a long way!
This last article is a great one but I honestly feel this should be common sense. Business Week shares a study done by Duke University that suggests a good diet and regular exercise may help the mind function better. This makes complete sense! We’ve all hit that midday lull where you can’t focus on anything for longer than 30 seconds. But once we get a healthy lunch in us, we have some energy and our brains start functioning again. And we all love that feeling we get after some moderate exercise. Read the full article at BusinessWeek.com, you’ll think this should be common sense too.
