There’s always something new to learn every day to help your body stay healthy and in shape. Here are a few tips you can add to your lifestyle for a more healthy living.

Always eat a good breakfast. Don’t skip meals and limit the junk food. If you absolutely have to resort to fast food, try not to eat many fried things. Be cautious of salad dressings; they’re more fattening than you might think.

Eating right and exercising will always go hand-in-hand. Our school has an open gym; try working out before or after classes (don’t forget to always stretch first). Exercising doesn’t have to be a hassle.

Sleep is very important. It can make or break your day. Be sure to always allow yourself with a full nights’ rest as much as possible. Take naps as needed (don’t fight it!) and avoid studying in bed.

Even more importantly, in order to walk the path of a healthier life, you should prevent as much stress as possible. Learning time management skills and creating a daily routine can help limit stress. Always remember to be realistic with your goals.

Separate work time from play time and know your boundaries. Study during the time you set for yourself, then hang out with friends or do something you love with your other time to relieve some stress. You’ll realize that when you aren’t cramming in study time, you wont be stressed out.

Experiencing the college life doesn’t mean experiencing the “Freshman Fifteen” or loads of unexpected homework that cut down your social life. When taken into the right hands, your days can be stress free, healthy and accomplishing.

Living healthy doesn’t have to mean strict dieting, exercising six times a week or even spending all your time studying. If you follow and recognize the tips above, they can help you continue a well-experienced student life.
