Case
Case study done by Susanne B. Racette and her team, Weight Changes, Exercise and Dietary Patterns During Freshman and Sophomore Years of College, they investigated information on weight gain and behavioral patterns of college students. This is important for my paper as it explores the dietary aspect of health. Some major points include students not meeting the daily recommended levels of physical activity. The pressures of academics cause these students to put all their effort into their grades. Unfortunately healthy practices must be sacrificed sometimes to devote the time these students have to school. The most dangerous part is that the negative behavioral/dietary patterns in college can contribute to overweightness and obesity in adulthood. This case displays the significance of long term investments in health to develop proper health behavior which would reduce future health risk. Colleges should take notice in order to do their part in this situation.
