The food choices students make can affect whether

or not they are able to remain awake during class

and whether or not they will come down with

mononucleosis when it hits campus.  The problem

is not only about eating junk food, it's more

about not getting the proper proteins, carbs,

vitamins, and minerals that people need.


When it comes to defending against illnesses,

vitamins and minerals are very important.  Just

because they are important, isn't a reason for

students to run out and stock up on vitamins and

supplements.  It's best for students to get their

nutrition from food.


You can find vitamin C in citric fruits, Vitamin

A in milk and diary products, and vitamin E in

nuts, whole wheat products, and even green leafy

vegetables.  This is the ideal way to get

nutrition, as your body relies on these vitamins

for many reasons.


When you eat on campus, skip on the soda's and

go right to the juice machines.  Explore the

different entrees available and go to the salad

bar where there are fresh vegetables.  You can

also try putting some broccoli and cauliflower

in the microwave for steamed vegetables.  There

are always healthy cereals and plenty of fresh

fruit available in dining halls as well.


Always remember that eating healthy isn't just

about avoiding greasy foods.  Eating healthy

involves getting a balanced diet and getting the

right nutrients and vitamins to keep your body

in peak performance - or at least awake during

your classes.
