Develop Healthy Habits

March is National Nutrition Month, a month-long nutrition education and information campaign focusing on the importance of making informed food choices and developing healthy eating and physical activity habits. This year’s theme is “Celebrate a World of Flavors.”

The United States is experiencing a dramatic increase in obesity rates with 40% of 20 to 39 year-olds qualifying. Physical inactivity and unhealthy dietary habits have the greatest impact on your weight and can significantly impact your future health. Some healthy eating barriers college students have identified are time constraints, unhealthy snacking, the convenience of high-calorie foods, stress, the higher price of healthy foods, and ease of accessibility to junk food.

Here are some quick tips to get you started on a healthier path:

Plan your meals and snacks for the week
Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go
Check out menus online in advance so you can make more healthful food and drink choices when away from home
Try new flavors and foods from around the world
Park farther out to get more steps in
Catch up with a friend or family member over a walk
