10 Great Part-Time Jobs for College Students

Eat right

s1

The bottom line is, we eat too much. Cut back on portions and aim for four to six small meals a day that all include a source of protein such as lean meat, fish or nuts to help normalize your blood sugar and keep you full. Also make sure to eat a variety of foods from each food group. Include five to seven daily servings of vegetables (including one serving of cruciferous veggies such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cabbage) and two to three servings of fruit. Choose whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa and whole wheat, and minimize consumption of sugar and other sweeteners.

Exercise

s2

Incorporate at least 30 minutes of physical activity into every day. Make sure to incorporate activities that include endurance (biking, walking), flexibility (yoga, golf) and strength (weight training). For women, it is imperative that exercise include an intense resistance component and not just a cardio focus: This is important for osteoporosis prevention, boosting metabolism and facing the daily challenges presented by life. Try circuit training, a body-sculpting workout that will get your heart rate up and your muscles working.

Get your vitamin D

s3

The higher the levels of vitamin D in the blood, the lower the risk of developing colorectal, breast and prostate cancers, according to the latest research. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends a daily vitamin D supplementation of 1,000 IU during the fall and winter months with special consideration for adults at risk for having a deficiency. In warmer and brighter months, you can get your vitamin D through sun exposure: a few minutes a day or more, depending on your age, the time of day and your skin colour.

Get enough sleep

s4

Sleep is vital in maintaining good health and quality of life. Without it, you become more susceptible to health problems such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. On average, adults will function best after seven to nine hours of shut-eye, but quality is just as important as quantity, says Chengkalath. The best measure is how you feel when you wake up. If your insomnia is persistent, talk to your doctor, as a medical condition or the medications you’re taking may be affecting your rest.
