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.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
