WELLNESS

Wellness plays a large role in your ability to be academically successful. Here are some wellness tips that may be beneficial for you as you prepare for finals (and for life in general).

FOOD & DIET

Handling stress and anxiety is easier if your body is healthy. One way of keeping your body healthy is being mindful of what you are eating.

• Eat breakfast . Start your day off right. Whether you’re rolling out of bed at noon or up at the crack of dawn, try to start your day with a balanced, healthy meal.

• Keep healthy snacks around . It’s easy to eat healthy if you keep the Cheetos at bay and stock your room with fruits and other healthy snacks. You’ll be more likely to reach for these rather than junk food if you keep them nearby or in your backpack.

• Drink water. Drinking enough water can help boost your concentration. Make sure to keep hydrated as you go through your day.

• Try to eat fruits and veggies. Even if fruits and vegetables don’t comprise some of your favorite foods, try to get a few of them into your diet each day.

• Don’t skip meals. With so much to do, it’s easy to forgo eating in order to get to class or the library. Don’t skip meals. Think of what you can eat on the go so you’ll have the energy to keep going.
