Abstract

Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting brain function, cognitive performance, and learning efficiency. Despite growing interest in educational neuroscience, limited attention has been given to how micronutrient status influences academic outcomes among university students, particularly those enrolled in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) programs. The present study explored the relationship between nutritional status, cognitive function, and academic achievement among EFL students, aligning its objectives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education). Furthermore, the study examined how the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based nutritional monitoring systems could promote healthier learning environments and enhance educational outcomes through evidence-based nutritional interventions. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was employed, involving 222 students at the university in Saudi Arabia. A quantitative approach was employed to administer a structured questionnaire that assessed dietary habits, cognitive challenges, and learning performance. A total of 100 participants were selected through stratified random sampling, including 50 students with high CGPAs (≥ 3.0) and 50 with low CGPAs (
