Abstract/Description:
Numerous studies have found a significant correlation between diet and brain function in humans and other animals, indicating that a healthy diet can greatly enhance cognition and reduce oxidative stress, which impairs brain health. My thesis examines the policies of ten successful university nutrition programs in the United States, with the aim of improving nutrition for students at the Wilkes Honors College, Florida Atlantic University (FAU). I proposed that FAU should establish an on- campus vegetable garden, partner with local fisheries to provide fresh fish to the campus dining room, and mandate that all freshman complete a course in “nutrition for cognition.”
