Students are notorious for having bad eating habits. Recently the Guardian newspaper asked one student to record what he ate over a three day period, and then asked a nutritionist to comment. Day one
10am Can of mango juice, Nutri-Grain (cereal) bar. 1pm Steak, chips, cauliflower. Twix* and water. 4pm Large bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (cereal) with milk.
8pm Two cans of mango juice, three bacon sandwiches (two rashers in each, no butter). 11pm Milky Way*. Day two 10am Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with milk. 1pm Water, Galaxy Ripple*, chicken sandwich, packet of McCoys crisps. 7pm Three cheese toasties, bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Day three
10am One Danish pastry, two chocolate croissants, bowl of Raisin Wheats (cereal). 2pm Burger and chips, Diet Coke. 7pm Spaghetti bolognese, ice cream. *Twix, Milky Way and Galaxy Ripple are all brands of chocolate bar. What the nutritionist said What you eat has a direct impact on your health. According to The Guardian’s nutritionist this student’s diet is lacking in unrefined carbohydrates such as wholemeal bread and wholegrain cereals which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. However, the nutritionist did say that it was good that the student’s diet actually included breakfast. This can help concentration and so could be useful for early lectures and seminars! The student wasn’t so good about including fruit and vegetables in his diet though – nothing apart from mango juice and cauliflower on day one. Recommendations are for five portions* of fruit and vegetables each day. The chocolate, fast food and crisps that the student eats might also have an impact on long-term health – instead of snacking on chocolate, the nutritionist suggested the student should carry either fresh or dried fruit as a snack.
