Background: Nutrition has a vital role in human health and well-being, influencing both physical development and cognitive abilities essential for academic success. Research indicates that improved nutrition is associated with enhanced academic performance, including elevated test scores and graduation rates. This study aims to evaluate adolescents' understanding and practices about balanced nutrition at Zaid Al-Shawkani School.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was executed utilizing a self-reported questionnaire. We employed a non-probability convenience sampling method to choose 100 adolescent students. We obtained participants' verbal consent and analyzed the data with SPSS.
Results: The survey revealed that 63.3% of students were aware of balanced meals, although only 54.4% implemented them. Sixty percent of responders indicated possessing a modest household income. Moreover, 79% of fathers of the pupils possessed an education, in contrast to just 43% of mothers.
Conclusion: Although possessing a moderate comprehension of balanced meals, around fifty percent of the pupils implement these dietary practices. A significant number of students are oblivious to the direct impact that nutrition exerts on cognitive abilities and conduct. We support the implementation of targeted educational programs to enhance knowledge regarding the influence of diet on cognitive performance and overall behavior.
