Feeling sick?

In college it is really easy to catch someone's cold. If your roommate is sick there is a possibility that you will become sick too. Being healthy is the best thing to do while in college because of the different viruses going around that your body is not used to. Eating right is one good way that you are able to stay healthy. Eating pizza and burgers all the time is never good. Try throwing in a salad with every meal or instead of having fried chicken or chicken tenders, try the grilled chicken that they have. Another way to stay healthy is to make sure that you stay in shape. If getting a membership at the fitness center is too much then you can always walk around campus for at least an hour a day. An important thing to remember when staying healthy is to make sure you get enough sleep. If you are constantly tired and never get any sleep then you will start to feel sluggish and your body will never have enough energy to work out. If you should feel like you are starting to get sick, make sure you dress appropriately. You shouldn't be wearing short sleeve shirts if it is starting to get cold. You should also drink warm liquids like soup, hot chocolate and tea. If those don't work then you should go see the nurse in the health center. I know when i start to feel like i am getting sick , i make sure i get a lot of rest so that i won't have to miss my classes. I also make sure i take medicine in the night around a decent time so that when i wake up i don't feel drowsy and light headed from sleeping. Getting sick is natural but it’s always about how you take care of yourself that determines how long you will have that virsus.
