Keywords:
Cognitive function, Memory, Forgetfulness, Omega-3Abstract
By avoiding processed junk food and switching to a healthy diet rich in fiber and antioxidants, people can actually improve memory, brain development, and decrease the effects of conditions like Alzheimer's disease. They will also feel more focused, alert, and aware, and their cognitive performance will improve. The design of this study was a descriptive survey method. The study was conducted on Al-Shimaa School students, and 100 samples were selected, 97 of whom were answered, during the period from15th of February 2024 to 20thof May 2024.The data was analyzed and it was found that There is a correlation between frequent consumption of pastries and forgetting the phone code or phone number, a relationship between difficulty in memory and comprehension when studying, forgetting information before the exam and eating eggs during the day, Also it was shown that there is a -ve correlation (P<0.01) between forgetting schoolwork and using omega-3 pills and eating eggs , with a strength of 33%. This indicates that if the rate and use of omega-3 pills decreases, the person will be vulnerable to forgetfulness, which is represented by forgetting schoolwork .The study concluded that Following healthy diet containing nutrients essential for brain health, such as Omega-3, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, and iron, healthy life style is essential to improve cognitive function and boost students memory, recommendation were made to overcome this problem.
