Summary

This pilot study at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas tests whether a 6-week nutrition program focused on herbs and spices can help college students with poor eating habits improve their diet quality. Thirty students will attend group sessions, taste foods with herbs and spices, and receive recipes and take-home supplies. Researchers will measure changes in diet, blood sugar, cholesterol, and gut health to see if the program is feasible and effective.
