Journal Entry 1
After struggling to find a question and understand the topic that I was basing this question off of, I finally found a decent question that is relatable to many. Not only does it relate to me, but many students can relate and take use out of this question. The information I’m going to be basing this paper focuses on health and nutrition availabilities for students on campus. I wanted to look into this as I’m am curious to find out about the answers and see how it could help me as my future continues through the University of Missouri.
Being a Nutrition and Fitness major myself, I strive to be able to find a way for everyone to fit nutrition into their life. It’s not only important for their health, but also improves the mind set and well being of a person in general. It’s a huge struggle across America, but especially for college students. I realized when I started here at Mizzou that I was on my own and looking out for myself, which meant I needed to take care of my own health. It doesn’t come naturally, it takes a lot of motivation and continuation.
The first thing I found was that Mizzou actually has a website for students to track what they’re eating at the dining halls. I never knew this existed before, but zoutrition.missouri.edu is a website which includes all the foods and nutrition facts for these foods that are given, buffet style, at the dining halls. I was amazed upon finding this and thought that this was a great step into making our campus one that is healthy and gives awareness to students about what exactly they’re putting into their bodies each day.
