Another Simple Healthy Lifestyle for Student

1. Get Plenty of Sleep

Eight hours of sleep is essential to a healthy lifestyle.  “Recent studies have shown that adequate sleep is essential to feeling awake and alert, maintaining good health and working at peak performance,” says Dr. Epstein. “After two weeks of sleeping six hours or less a night, students feel as bad and perform as poorly as someone who has gone without sleep for 48 hours.” (American Academy of Sleep Medicine).

Sleep recharges you and gets you ready to overcome the daily stresses of being a student. If it’s hard for you to get sleep at night try to take at least one 30 minute nap during the day.

Maintaining Your Healthy Lifestyle as Student

Between homework, tests and maintaining a social life, it can be difficult for students to find time to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, poor health can quickly lead to stress, self-esteem issues, poor mood, illness and fatigue. You can help your student stay healthy throughout all of his high school years in a variety of ways.

Nutrition Matters

Your student should eat as healthy as possible, aiming for at least four servings of fruit and five servings of vegetables every day. Encourage her to choose whole grains, low-fat dairy products and lean sources of protein, such as turkey, instead of full-fat foods. Show her how to pay attention to proper portion sizes. Stock up on healthy foods such as low-fat yogurt, carrot sticks and apples so that a healthy snack is always available when your student gets hungry.

Morning Bad Habits That Can Wreck Your Day

You Drink Coffee Too Early

Is there really a bad time for coffee? Yup. Energy levels rise naturally when you first wake up, so drinking coffee then causes an extra energy surge that can leave you jittery, says Steven Miller, a Ph.D. candidate in neuroscience at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Maryland. You’ll reap the most benefits from coffee if you save it for an hour after you’ve gotten out of bed. That’s when your energy levels begin to plummet, so coffee keeps them up well into the afternoon.

The Simple Thing In The Morning To Lose Weight

"Rise and shine" isn't just something you should say in the morning to drag yourself out of bed. According to a new study from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, published in the journal PLOS ONE, actually doing it—i.e., getting up and catching a couple quick rays—may help you lose weight.

Researchers asked 54 participants, average age 30, to wear a wrist monitor that tracked their exposure to morning light for seven days straight. They also had them keep food diaries to record their caloric intake. As it turns out, the people who got more morning light had lower BMIs than those who got less—and that was regardless of their age, how active they were, and what they ate.
