Tips for Staying Healthy

Eat healthy foods – Of course, you’ll have a great time making late night Cook-

Out runs for milkshakes and greasy (but delicious) burgers, or enjoying a pizza with

friends while studying.

That’s part of college life! It’s okay to indulge once in a while, but

try to eat healthy foods as often as possible. If you can’t make it to breakfast in the Fresh

Food Company or the Benson Food Court, put some yogurt in your frig or grab a granola

bar.

Add fruits and veggies to lunch or dinner whenever you can. And remember – there

are a lot of empty calories in alcohol (the term beer gut didn’t come from nowhere).

Exercise regularly – There are lots of way to get your exercise at Wake Forest.

You can work out at the Miller Center. Try to find some times that are less busy so that

you can spend time on the machines that work best for you.

Take one of the many classes offered there – from yoga to spinning. Participate on one of hundreds of intramural teams or join a club sports team for even more competition. Participate in trips sponsored by

Outdoor Pursuits.

Take walks around the campus with friends or go jogging. Play it safe

while exercising, particularly at night, and pay careful attention to your surroundings.

Get plenty of sleep – We know! Your schedule is really busy including classes, actively

studying, building new friendships, clubs and organizations, and personal time.

But remember, without enough sleep, everything else suffers. Use your time wisely in order to

get everything done.
