Take Care of Yourself : ) Your Health Comes FIRST

Hey it's *Hilary...

There's no better time than NOW to take care of yourself. If you're feeling stressed, hit the gym, do some laps in the pool, or take a stroll on the beach. Honestly, there has never been a time that I regretted working out. It'll give you that little extra boost before that next study sesh.

Lookin to jump start your study snacks?

Check out these tips from Becky McDivitt, our registered dietician : )

Eating Strategies

1. Eat small, frequent meals to stay alert and energized.
2. Don’t skip meals due to marathon study sessions!
3. Have healthy snacks like these ready for study breaks:
   • Nuts and dried fruit
   • Cheese sticks and yogurt
   • Sliced veggies and dip or hummus
   • Fresh fruit
   • Low fat popcorn
   • Half-sandwich
4. Eat your snack away from your study area. Avoid mindless snacking while studying.
5. Stay hydrated with water, tea, milk or small amounts of 100% juice.
6. Manage stress with non-eating activities like exercise, meditation, yoga, talking with friends, and watching a movie.
7. Don’t over-do it with caffeine in an effort to stay awake. If your body is telling you to sleep, you need to sleep! Well-rested students perform better on tests.

Stay classy San Diego.
