Just like in middle school and you are in a nutrition class. You don’t care about this and you just want some candy. If you get it when you are more mature I think it would be more useful, because now you can actually think about what your body likes, needs and everything. I think getting a class or something information later in your education, it would be great.
Hannah: I guess, just taking a step back though, what would you want that education or training to look like, if it was something?
Janan: Honestly, in my experience and I don’t know if this is similar to you guys, but my pediatrician has given me talks on what to eat and I found that kind of helpful. Normally, nowadays, doctors are like, you go in and go out, and they find out what …show more content…
I think people who are studying to be a nutritionist or in health fields programs, if they can come in and mentor undergraduate students who would then mentor. Like having a tier mentorship, who then mentor high school students and them mentoring middle school students. I feel like that would be really helpful to just give the people the knowledge and skills that they need to make healthy decisions that are right for them.
I think that is really important and given people that agency and disseminating information, in general, just about food, nutrition, but not necessarily in way that this is good for you and this is bad for you, because everyone body is different and everyone has different lifestyles, practices, and beliefs. Just really kind of providing an overall, general food nutrition knowledge seminar mentorship thing.
I think that would be really cool and it would be sustainable because people like doing program and it is good resume building.
Hannah: Okay, thank you. Georgie, you kind of mentioned being interested in the chemistry or the science of food, are there any other topics, besides nutrition, that you all feel is something about food that you want to know more about or that you feel that UCLA should teach people …show more content…
Nadia: Skills based and really directly connects to our lifestyle, more than the bio side of it.
Julia: I totally agree with that and I think a lot of the time we get tips about drink ten glasses of water a day, or have 5 million serving of vegetables. People get these guidelines, but no one really does it. I learned a lot from my parents and these other sources, but I definitely think the education system should incorporate a global healthy lifestyle class and what you need to do and what are the basic things you need to do to be healthy.
I feel like that would really decrease some of our countries really scary health statistics. A lot of people, their parents maybe don’t have the healthiest lifestyle and that gets passed on over generations. Maybe if your high school or college required you to take a healthy lifestyle class that taught you how to enjoy exercising and was more realistic and practice.
If it didn’t tell you that you had to eat perfect all the time, but here are some thing you can do to make it easier and taught you how, that could be effective and make a difference in people’s health outcomes
