Many youth between the age group of 16 to 22 years have reported health issues like Anemia, low BP, hypertension, sleeplessness which have affected their performance at college. Taking into note all these situations around, a sample case study was done in which data was collected from 50 students between the age group 16 to 22. A questioner was prepared and the collected data was analyzed. It was observed that only 50% of the students consume 3 meals per day, 37% of the students were skipping their breakfast which has affected their performance at school or college. Around 53% of the students had some or the other physical activity and such students no such issues as sleeplessness. The present study has revealed that students having good food intake, having a number of small meals, and good sleeping time can excel in their education. A stress-free environment and a good support system at home are required for today�s youth to lead a healthy life.
