summary
Conclusion Section:
The results of this survey, which comprehensively analyzed the eating habits of college students, showed that the majority of respondents had a high self-evaluation of their own dietary health, especially those who chose to cook by themselves, showing the positive impact of homemade eating on health perception. However, despite the optimistic self-evaluation, there are still many unhealthy tendencies in actual eating habits, especially the high frequency of consumption of fast food and snacks, and the general low intake of fruits.
The survey also found that the choice of dietary sources is closely related to health awareness. The majority of respondents are concerned about the nutritional content of food products, especially those who tend to choose vegetables and fruits, indicating that awareness of healthy eating is increasing. At the same time, financial status has also been identified as an important factor influencing dietary choices, reflecting the fact that in a fast-paced life, many students may choose convenient but unhealthy eating methods due to financial pressures.
In order to improve current eating habits, it is recommended to raise students' awareness of healthy eating through education and awareness-raising, encourage them to focus on nutrients, reduce the intake of fast food and snacks, and increase the consumption of fruits and water. Schools and communities can organize lectures and cooking classes on healthy eating to help students master scientific dietary knowledge and healthy cooking skills to achieve healthier eating choices in their daily lives. In conclusion, improving health awareness and diet quality will have a positive impact on the physical health of college students.
