Unit 05: Alcohol and Tobacco Use - I learned that binge drinking for women is defined as having four drinks in a row and five drinks for men. This was new

information to me, and I learned that I binge drink more often than I thought. I drink 4 or 5 drinks pretty much every time I go out or party. The unit talks about binge drinking being the leading cause of preventable death among undergraduate students and a significant threat to student health and well-being. This leads me to take this more seriously and watch my drinking habits more. 2. Unit 06: Drug Use and Misuse, in the textbook, page 296, under energy drinks, talks about how energy drinks are reportedly used by college and university students to alleviate hangovers, increase energy for studying, and increase alertness. However, the potential health dangers are frequently unknown to the students. I saw that over half of the university students in the research by McGaughey, Jr. et al. who consumed energy drinks reported having jolt and crash episodes. Heart palpitations were experienced by about 44% of people. Canadian teens and young adults were polled by Hammond et al. to find out the negative effects of energy drinks. They discovered that among the young people who answered the study, 55% had encountered at least one unfavourable event. Nearly 25% of participants suffered rapid heartbeats, 24% had sleep issues, 18% had headaches, and 5% had other symptoms. This was crazy to learn because I drink energy drinks frequently, and I was under the impression that those side effects were very uncommon and rare. 3. Being stressed can make you crave comfort foods - After reading Unit 4 on Personal Stress Management and watching the video about the physical effects of stress on the body. I learned that cortisol could increase your appetite as it tells your body to replenish your energy stores with energy-dense foods and carbs, causing you to crave comfort foods. This causes you to put on visceral or deep-belly fat 4. In unit 7: personal nutrition, the TedTalk on how the food you eat affects your brain taught me so much new information. I learned that of the fats in your brain, Omega 3 and 6 are essential fatty acids that have been linked to preventing degenerative brain conditions. Therefore, eating Omega-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and fatty fish is crucial to the creation and maintenance of cell membranes. While other fats, such as trans and saturated fats, may compromise brain health. 5. Unit 09: Social Support and Relationship - I learned about Chapman’s 5 Love Languages. After completing the assessment, I discovered that my love languages are words of affirmation and quality time. This helped a lot because I can reflect on past relationships and see that we had different love languages, which sometimes led to conflict. Our partner may not prefer to or feel most comfortable communicating love in the same way that we do, and vice versa. But if we recognize this, we may work to broaden our love languages and improve how we express our emotions.
