  • Mindfulness techniques for mental clarity

  • Conscious decision-making processes

  • Positive lifestyle choices for overall well-being

  • Mental health awareness and self-care practices

Nutrition and Academic Performance

Dr. Sherzad Ali Ismael, Head of the Public Health Faculty at the Kurdistan Board for Medical Specialties, presented “Nourish to Flourish: Your Guide to Healthy Eating.” His expertise in nutritional epidemiology and public health statistics informed his discussion of:

  • Healthy eating habits and their impact on memory

  • Nutritional influence on academic performance

  • Practical dietary guidelines for students

  • Long-term health benefits of proper nutrition

Comprehensive Student Development

The Fulbright ACAG Program continues to provide valuable learning opportunities for school students, addressing both mental and physical aspects of student well-being.
