While living on campus, it can be hard to adopt or maintain healthy eating habits, and fitness. Homework and studying tends to get the most of your time. As a college student, studies should always be the main priority. However, one's health should never be neglected. As the body gets older, its gets harder to retain health. Although it can be time consuming and difficult at times, students should take advantage of their youth and maintain their health. Below are some tips for maintaining health and keeping stress at a minute:

• Sleep is of the essence!..Campus life can keep a student in motion non-stop, forcing them to put sleep at the bottom of their priorities. Students should at least get 6-8hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep causes a lack of concentration, and an increase of stress. Try sticking to a regular sleep pattern.
• Eat wisely. Many college students tend to gain weight at college. This is a result of eating late and the consumption junk food. Students should never skip breakfast; it contributes to weight gain. They should also try at least 3 whole portioned meals. When snacking, try healthier snacks: granola bars, yogurt, or fruit. Also, drink lots of water. Try to stay away from vending machines.
• Exercise. Try to go to the gym for at least 30 minutes. Take a friend to make it a fun event. If there is just not enough time in the day, there are other ways to stay fit. Instead of driving, walk. Skip the elevator and take the stairs.
• Last but not least, RELAX!
