Trying to stay healthy in college can be very difficult. There are so many students that if one of them contracts a virus it could spread rapidly throughout the campus. There are steps you can do to try and avoid getting sick. One of them is frequently washing your hands. One of the most common ways people get sick is having dirty hands then they touch their face. This is especially true for people who wear contacts. I have gotten sick multiple times by not thoroughly washing my hands and then taking out my contacts. It is also very important to eat healthy. The saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away isn’t just catchy. It actually works. I know it is hard when you are tempted by Conn Hall Pizza and student center burritos, but if you want to stay healthy you need to get a good balance of fruits and vegetables. If you are a college student you should also try to exercise every day. The Fitness center is only $60 a semester and it is worth every penny. There are a lot of machines in the facility, and also a lot of work out classes. If you are not interested in that then I would suggest doing cardio around campus. Cardio is great for clearing your sinuses and it will keep you in good shape. Something I also recommend is taking daily vitamins. I take four every morning; fish oil, vitamin c, One a day men’s, and a calcium pill. All four of these serve a different purpose. The Fish oil is to help keep my cholesterol down. The vitamin c helps my immune system, the one a day men’s is to help prevent prostate cancer, and the calcium pill will help me build strong bones. All of these different routines not only help you from getting sick, but they can also help you get better when you’re sick.
