A College Kids Guide to Healthy Living


All nighters, Oreos for breakfast, unnecessary amounts of booze, and who could forget about wing night with the roommates!

 
For just about any college student eating healthy and exercising on a daily basis is almost as hard as making it to 8 am lecture on time, but the truth is it doesn’t have to be! 
 
I’m sure your saying to yourself, “yeah right, I’ll be sure to pick myself some berries and run 5 miles in-between classes, work, studying, and maintaining some form of a social life”
 
And that’s exactly why I chose to write this blog, I understand these struggles. My names Casey and as senior in college who maintains a full time credit load on top of working 32 hours a week in a bakery, where it’s harder to maintain a diet then it is to be in the Hunger Games, I have learned to balance the hectic life of a student with the full time commitment of living healthy.

The truth is eating healthy and exercising is crucial to maintaining our health and wellness. Small steps to healthier living can create big changes in not only our bodies, but also our mind, relationships, and overall well being. My hope is that this blog will aid you in your journey to healthy living. 
 
 
 
So here they are, my top five reasons why you want to stay healthy in college and beyond:


1.) More Energy - Who doesn't need that!


2.) Helps Avoid Illness and Disease - Do you know how many people touched that door today
 
3.) Improves Confidence - We all need a little confidence from time to time


4.) Better Mental Health - Exercise actually helps relieve stress

 
 5.) You Look Better - We all want to look good at those Friday night parties!

  1. I'm enjoying reading all of your blog posts Casey. I feel all of us college students go through times where we're eating junk and not taking care of ourselves but your posts make me feel like a little bit can really go a long way. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions!
