
Okay, so you are either about to attend college
as a freshmen, or you are in college looking for
some healthy tips, well this presentation is for
you!! We realize that you will be making some
serious life changes, but you cannot let your
health lower in the chain of importance of your
needs!

Yes, we realize that you (like many other
people your age) will be probably going out
and getting drunk on the weekend, eating pizza
and other terrible things at all hours of the
night, and barely sleeping some nights. But
you need to balance out your life to lean more
on the positive side. This is a realistic
PowerPoint for you to learn from to help you
have a healthier and happier college life.

At college, expect the unexpected, and be open to new
experiences!!

Expect to be introduced to new people, information,
lifestyles, beliefs, attitudes, and locations.

DO NOT expect college life to be easy, it will one of
the most challenging times of your life. But…it will be
the most influential years of your life, transforming you
from a child into an adult.

We are realistic with our ideals,
while striving for optimal health at
the same time. We hope to give
you some positive information and
ideas to keep you healthy during
college. The lifestyle habits you
take on for these four years (or
more) will be a serious indication
and setup of your lifelong
approach to your health and well
being.

Food is a comfort, which is acceptable SOMETIMES,
but not all the time!!
Nothing in your life thusfar could have
prepared you for the stress you are about
to encounter at college.
Time
Money
Relationships
Classes

Family
Friends

Make sure to balance yourself in as many
areas as required, but know your limits.

Many college cafeterias have the reputation of serving
low quality, terrible tasting food. BUT…
Taking an extra few minutes you can create a healthy
salad that tastes great!
The most important thing you can do is control your
portions. “Portion distortion” is a huge problem, know
what 1 serving is!
Being creative with your food will allow you to
develop new tastes, and meet all your nutrient
requirements.
 Eat slow, enjoy your food!!

Stay Healthy = Not Missing Class
Stay optimistic, you just have to adjust your lifestyle to
the injury.
 You may feel depressed and dependant on others, but
this will pass.
 Modify your caloric intake to match the activity deficit.
 You will be out of that cast or off those
crutches before you know it!!

A hangover is the headache and overall soreness you
feel the next morning after a night of drinking. This is
due to dehydration, because alcohol is a diuretic.

I came to Rowan University in the fall of 2005 as a
freshman right out of high school from 100 miles away.
I had never been this far away from everything I had
known for 18 years for a week, let alone completely
moving out. I moved into dorm style living with 11
other male students. Over the course of freshmen year,
I took my knowledge from my health classes, and
opportunities on campus, and lost 15lbs. Most students
put on 15lbs, but I lost it and kept it off. Racquetball,
combined with eating healthy in the cafeteria, helped in
my active life to help me attain better health. I want to
pass this knowledge on to a younger generation to help
them live a long, healthy, and happy life…
I hope you learned something from this, so best of luck
to you, and help someone else by passing along this
health knowledge
The glass is half full…
