How To Stay Healthy This Winter
Greatist

There are many ways to stay healthy at college, home and especially locally. Just try these little things and they will help you this winter season.

Drink Water


Our body requires a certain amount of water each day to function. When we drink water, it helps us clear the toxins in our body that make us feel sick to help us feel better. Water also helps hydrate us as well, and it is important for us to drink around eight 8 ounce glasses a day.


Wash your hands


Washing your hands helps prevent getting a cold. Germs form on the hands; thus, it is very important that we wash our hands, especially before and after preparing food, handling raw meat, using the restroom, and coming in contact with others.


Eat Healthy


There are a variety of foods that can help you feel better when you are sick. Some of these foods are:

Dark Chocolate

-Loaded with antioxidant and zinc

Leafy Greens

- Helps prevent colds and flus

- The darker the greens... the higher the nutrients

Milk

- Vitamin D helps bolster our immune system

And many other foods that you eat daily help you feel better if you are feeling sick, and help you prevent getting sick.

Get plenty of Rest

When we sleep, it helps our body and our immune system rest. About the average human should sleep between 8-10 hours each night in order for a good night sleep.



Take Emergen-C or other Multivitamins

Taking Emergen-C or other multivitamins allow people to stay healthy. If you are feeling a cold or flu coming, then you can take an Emergen-C and this will allow you or others to hopefully prevent sickness.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
