Case Analysis on Dietary Health Issues

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The foods you choose to eat can have a direct impact on your ability to enjoy life to its fullest. Perhaps the most obvious positive effect of food is the pleasurable feeling you get from eating a good-tasting meal. It might be a plate of grilled chicken, corn-on-the-cob, fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, and a baked potato, ora steaming dish of spaghetti topped with a zesty tomato sauce. Your diet can have long-term effects on your health as well. Diet plays a major role in promoting and maintaining good health, preventing some chronic diseases and treating others, and speeding recovery from injuries.

METHODS

Using the descriptive-survey method and frequency count and percentage, findings revealed that, in general, the respondents encountered personal problems relating to the food management. Eighty male and female STEM students responded to the survey questionnaire. Physical aspects identify the students' ability to perform actively with the help of the suggested food preference. Assessment of the mental aspects of students provides a development in choosing the right food preference, giving them the knowledge to enhance their mind in a healthy way. Emotional aspects help in improvement of the mood which is also entrusted in the choice of their food preference.

RESULTS

In the results of the survey on the case analysis on dietary health issues in terms of students' profile on the physical aspects, mental aspects and emotional aspects, the research hypothesis has been accepted due to lack of significance in the study which is observable on how they answered the questions, majority of the questions being answered are "moderately agree”.

DISCUSSIONS

The results indicated that the students need continuous development in order to enhance the students' food management. Study must not only be studied on the STEM students, but as well as the other strand and tracks that are having problems in food management.
