Healthy Eating College Lifestyle

I presented a class to high school students the other day that was designed to teach how to maintain a healthy eating lifestyle while at college. The event was sponsored by the public library with the many sessions chosen to prepare students for college life next year.

It turned out to be one of my more interesting classes as a violent thunderstorm and power failure turned a routine hands-on class into a notable event.

Healthy Eating IS Possible

Healthy eating in college is possible. It is a skill that students need to learn – a choice that each student has to make. Anything you can do to prepare your college-bound student for the challenges of eating healthy will improve her or his education. What good is a college education if you do not have your health?

Due to the power outage, some of the other presenters could not finish their class for a variety of reasons, including no windows and thus no light in their rooms. I decided to move forward with my program, so moved to a public section of the library near a large bank of windows and we began.

Starting with my class of fifteen, plus all the  “extra” students that hadn’t intended to attend, my class swelled to 45 students gathered around – quite a crowd.

Choose Fiber For Your Health

While all the students did not get to actually cut or cook, they all DID learn that the easiest way to ensure that they are eating to maintain health is to choose high-fiber foods. We discussed convenient food choices and how most lack fiber.

• Fiber keeps your cholesterol lower
• Fiber fills you up so you don’t overeat
• Fiber sustains you longer so you don’t overeat
• Fiber keeps your blood sugar in line
• Fiber helps you poop right

We made two high-fiber real food vegetarian stir-fries and had some fun, then of course ate our creation.

College Food Choices

The huge crowd enjoyed the food and had fun learning how they can easily cook some quick meals that are both affordable and healthy. College food choices do not have to take away from health.

Simple Steps To Healthy Lifestyle

Healthy Lifestyle Is Not Easy!

When you hear the experts talking about what it takes to have a healthy lifestyle they make it sound easy.

• Don’t smoke,
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Eat nutritious foods
• Get regular exercise

The prescription for a healthy lifestyle is simple but it certainly is not easy. In the 21st century it takes commitment, focus and an education to live a healthy life.

Most Are Not Living A Healthy Lifestyle

With the fast-paced world speeding us through life,  it is difficult to avoid using the many manufactured “home meal replacements” on the market, or for that matter to have the fortitude and willingness to quit smoking. It is difficult to return to a healthy lifestyle when we have become caught up in the hectic activities of life and are NOT living healthy.

Healthy Natural Diet

Going on a diet of any kind: natural, healthy or otherwise is usually not the answer. A diet is frequently short-lived.  Those who are “lucky” enough to experience long term health do not diet. They simply have a healthy lifestyle. The 6 Weeks To The New You healthy lifestyle diet program is a system of one day at a time, making small changes that assist you in returning to a healthier lifestyle. Small changes add up to big results.

Return To Health Is A Natural Progression

When you make small changes each day rather than “go on a diet” you will return to health gradually. Start the process to return to a healthy life with the 6 Weeks To The New You natural diet program!

Lose Weight This New Year Resolution!

Use Compound Interest To Lose Weight

As the New Year rolls around many people make “New Year’s Resolutions”. Have you made past New Year resolutions to lose weight or get your health under control? Did it work? As we all know resolutions are often left by the wayside before January is over.

New Year’s Resolution

The problem with the average resolution is that they are to big of a goal to actually maintain. It is very difficult to “lose weight”. It is not so difficult to make healthy food choices each day.

Compound Interest For Healthy Weight

Albert Einstein said that compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe. Compound interest is either working for you or against you.  It is a principle works the same for everything that it is applied to.

The principle of compound interest applies to finances. You either make money with compound interest in your savings account or you lose money with compound interest on your credit card.

Compound interest also is applied to your health and/or your weight. Eat celery today for snack and you will not get skinny. Eat celery every day for snack and compound interest will pay off and your weight will go down. Eat a bag of chips for snack today and you will not get fat. Eat a bag every day and your weight will definitely go up due to compound interest.

Make your New Year’s resolution to be to make the best choice you can one day at a time and to use compound interest to improve your health. If you make small changes that you can live with for all of the new year, then you WILL lose weight and be a healthier person as a result of it.
