With the aim of eliminating the students’ bad eating habits that affect mental and physical health, such as is the habit of drinking caffeinated drinks on an empty stomach, which leads to a problem in focusing during lectures. Therefore, the university, after consulting a nutritionist, sought to find healthy solutions that would be acceptable to young people to some extent alleviate bad eating habits and replace them with more useful ones by packing bags containing energy-rich food elements such as dates, nuts, and raisins. And displaying health and nutritional information through an electronic platform with the aim of directing students towards beneficial foods and keeping them away from unhealthy industrial food supplements.
