Abstract Introduction Transitioning from high school to college often poses significant challenges to students. In many cases, freshmen are now required for the first time to take care of their health habits, including making choices surrounding food and sleep. Diets higher in fats and lower in fruits and vegetables have frequently been associated with an increase in inflammatory biomarkers, which may lead to increased symptoms of depression and poorer sleep (Firth et al., 2019; Hagedorn et al., 2021). Methods Given the increased rate of depression (Liu et al., 2022) and sleep disturbance (Luo Hershner & Chervin, 2014), promoting healthy food choices for students is necessary to allow for success in college.
