Students' Opinion about Their Opportunity for Healthy Eating

Nutrition is a basic life process that plays a key role not only in the development, growth, and maintenance of the functions of any organism but also in the quality of life (2). The WHO is developing healthy eating projects for learners in order to develop healthy eating habits (3). With this study we examine the knowledge and behavior of students about their diet and the consequences that are currently observed on their health.The aim of the present study is to determine whether students have a healthy diet.The study included 78 students from the Shumen Affiliate of MU-Varna in April 2022. The methods used are documentary and statistical—the survey method and graphical analysis.Based on the analysis of the data obtained, it was found that 68% of the surveyed students are familiar with the term "healthy eating." A significant proportion of respondents indicated that they do not eat breakfast in the morning (32%). Almost half of the respondents (46%) consume fruit 3–4 times a week.The conclusions we drew from the analysis of the obtained data show that about 1/3 of the students consume fast food products daily. Not a small part (40%) of the surveyed students eat 1-2 times a day. Only 19% of the respondents confirmed that they read the labels of products before buying them and have the habit of choosing food in the store
