The “Freshman Fifteen” To some the “Freshman Fifteen” is a myth while to other’s it’s a reality This is about how students entering college typically gain weight within just their first year whether it’s 5, 10, 15, or even 20 llbs! Having healthy eating habits while in college will keep you at a healthy weight
Your Health is a Balance • Exercising directly effects your health • Your diet directly effects your health • Getting enough sleep directly effects your health • Keeping these three balanced is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle as a college student

You are in CONTROL Just because these fast-food places to eat are “quick” and readily available doesn’t mean they are your only options! There are still healthy options for you to eat on and off campus It is up to YOU to chose and have self control when deciding which foods to consume As shown in the previous slides the cafeteria’s have unhealthy food available to be eaten but ALSO healthy and organic options to chose from as well! Being a college student also means independence… you make your own choices!
