Eating Healthy in the College Years Colleen Poling, Erica Buchanan, and Nicole Sagaria

The questions you may ask…. Why? Why you should eat healthy starting today. What? What you should focus on, and what you should avoid. How? How you can accomplish this.

WHY??

WHY? Our cells need nourishment to thrive, and they flourish when they are given proper nutrition. Overall your health improves. (Car analogy) Still young, but should focus on lifelong health Can prevent future health complications through good nutrition.

POP QUIZ!! What are the three main nutrients food provides us with? What is energy (used to fuel our bodies) usually measured in? Name one Vitamin. What is the main nutrient responsible for giving energy to the brain. Name one food you eat the most frequently.

FOOD GUIDE PYRAMID Review the pyramid Explain plate method

WHAT?

EAT BREAKFAST! It is not just a myth; breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Refer to breakfast handout

Focus on Whole Grain, Fruits and Vegetables When choosing breads and grains, go for 100% whole wheat. It will keep you full longer and has more nutrients. Whole fruits are portable and contain fiber to keep you full. Try frozen vegetables. These contain the same nutrient content as fresh, but last longer. Try adding them to your whole wheat pasta or in a whole wheat pita with some guacamole and low fat cheese. Find 5 ways to get fruits and veggies into your diet each day.

Not all fats are bad! Saturated-AVOID! Not heart healthy. Butter, heavy cream, lard, bacon, coconut and palm oils. Unsaturated-AIM FOR! Heart healthy Poly-canola oils, margarine, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts Mono-avocado, peanuts, almond Trans-AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Read food label. Stick margarine, prepackaged/processed foods like baked goods.

Go lean with Protein Focus on lean cuts of meat, poultry, fish: baked broiled of grilled. It is also in nuts, beans, eggs and seeds Variation is key!

Avoid the Sugary Drinks and Alcohol One can of pop/alcohol can contain as much as 200 calories. Drinking even one a day can add up to 1400 calories a week, that is adding over one extra pound per month! Sugar example Same goes for Alcohol. Focus on drinking water instead.

Avoid Caffeine Even if the drink is fortified with vitamins and minerals, it still isnt a health food. Caffeine in large consumptions should be cut back to moderate use only. When getting coffee on the go ask for low-fat or soy.

Dont skip the Dairy Strong Bones, and allows for proper muscle contractions. Milk, Yogurt, Cheeses. Other Dairy Alternatives that provide calcium: Soy, Salmon, Almonds, Beans, Oats.

Make time for Exercise Not only does it help to relieve the stress of deadlines, but it also helps to keep you strong. Make a routine, pick the days and times you can exercise and stick to it. Walk to class or ride your bike Join an Intramural sport Take advantage of Pings Fitness Classes 30 min most days of week; 60 min to prevent weight gain; min to sustain weight loss.

HOW???

HOW? Get an idea about how much money you can spend each week on groceries. Think ahead. Find a routine and plan out to the best of your ability when you will eat breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. Pack a lunch if need be. Choose wisely, even on the run. You can still get what you like, but just in a more healthful way.
