There have been suggestions that exercise might reduce the risk of macular degeneration, which occurs when neurons in the central part of the retina deteriorate. The disease robs millions of older Americans of clear vision. A 2009 study of more than 40,000 middle-aged distance runners, for instance, found that those covering the most miles had the least likelihood of developing the disease. But the study did not compare runners to non-runners, limiting its usefulness. It also did not try to explain how exercise might affect the incidence of an eye disease.
Tips to Keep Your Eyes Healthy
Eye strain during reading
The book should be well lighted , but the area surrounding the book should also be well lit . Reading in a dark room leads to eye strain. Ideally the light should come over your left shoulder. When you concentrate hard , the blink rate of the eye drops significantly. This leads to blurring and defused vision. Blink frequently when you study for long periods of time.
Improve Your Mental Wellbeing
Begin & End your day on a high.........legal that is!
Get yourself into the habit of forgetting the little things that annoyed you during the day, such as missing the bus or not getting that reply text message from the person you fancy. By focusing on what went wrong you forget the things that made you happy, and when times are tough this can lead to low moods. Try getting into the habit of remembering the positives of your day and this will aid in improving your daily attitude.
Eat Healthy in College
A typical student's go-to's usually consist of ramen noodles or macaroni and cheese, but as Niomi Williams, financial literacy educator with CU Money Sense, points out, these food options “aren’t doing any favors for your future self.”
The main food groups often missing from student diets typically include fruits and veggies, fresh veggies, fiber, milk and protein. And the reasons why vary from assuming a tight budget won’t buy the right items, too much time is required for grocery shopping, or even the fact that healthy food just isn’t too tasty.

5 Tips About Mental Health for Students
1. Stay Connected
Although there exist some rare exceptions, everyone needs to have social connections and relationships. Witnessing the impact that relationships (or lack thereof) can have on the psychological well-being of students prompted me to write a book (The Need to be Liked) about this and related issues. It is no coincidence that Tip #1 on my list is related to making and maintaining relationships during the academic year. I have seen too many young adults in my office over the years dealing with problems in this area not to highlight its importance.
Psychologists have studied people's need to associate with others and have found that we all differ in how much social interaction is needed.

The Things Happy People Do Differently
1. Express gratitude.
When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that's without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We're gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren't thankful for what we already have.
