EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Problem Statement:
Establishing sensible eating habits from young is essential in shaping
food preferences later in life. An adequate diet is essential for child and
adolescent growth but exactly how much an individual needs varies with size
and build, growth rate and level of physical activity. For any person to remain
healthy and avert acquiring any diseases, it is extremely important for the
person to develop a proper eating habit. It is only when a person controls his
diet and watches the food and drinks which go into the body that he would be
able to protect him from any of the diseases. Without maintaining a healthy
eating habit, it is only a matter of time before one falls sick or develops serious
medical life-threatening complications. In healthy eating lies the key to
acquiring a healthy body and a healthy mind. A project is undertaken to find
out the eating habits of the young generation and to know how concerned they
are regarding the food quality they choose to eat. Also, the project will study
the effect of poor eating habits on the health of the young generation. The
study will be conducted in various departments of Punjabi University, Patiala
and the age of the respondents will vary from 19 to 24 years. Both primary and
secondary sources will be used for data collection. The research will be an
exploratory one as it involves exploring the idea of Eating habits of the Young
Generation.
Eating out has become the order of life. Youngsters prefer aerated
drinks and fast foods to homemade meals. This can be attributed mainly to the
appealing advertisements carried out on televisions. Ads on television have had
a marked effect on the choice of food items, especially among the younger
generation. The popular Icons of Sports world and the movie stars campaign
for consumables and the younger generation is influenced by these acts of their
idols. It reflects the fact that nutritious and well-balanced food is increasingly
becoming a rarity and eating a proper meal is not a priority any more for many,
who are often hard-pressed for time. Good nourishment is the secret of a
healthy and happy life.
There are all kinds of health issues related to unhealthy eating
habits. Diabetes would be the number one health concern due to over
consumption of sugar. In addition to this, Obesity, thyroid dysfunction, kidney
malfunction, and intestinal problems can all be directly associated with too
much sugar consumption. Then there are ill-effects of too little food
consumption. When we do not consume what we need to maintain our health,
problems like gum diseases, heart disease, muscle deterioration, vision loss,
and an orexin occur. Moreover, once our body reaches the point of unhealthy
functioning, it's almost impossible to correct one problem without creating
another. Thus, to maintain the healthy functioning of the body, a healthy dose
of vitamins and minerals is required. If one does not receive these through
meals, one may take supplements.
