How To Stay Healthy This Winter
Greatist

There are many ways to stay healthy at college, home and especially locally. Just try these little things and they will help you this winter season.

Drink Water


Our body requires a certain amount of water each day to function. When we drink water, it helps us clear the toxins in our body that make us feel sick to help us feel better. Water also helps hydrate us as well, and it is important for us to drink around eight 8 ounce glasses a day.


Wash your hands


Washing your hands helps prevent getting a cold. Germs form on the hands; thus, it is very important that we wash our hands, especially before and after preparing food, handling raw meat, using the restroom, and coming in contact with others.


Eat Healthy


There are a variety of foods that can help you feel better when you are sick. Some of these foods are:

Dark Chocolate

-Loaded with antioxidant and zinc

Leafy Greens

- Helps prevent colds and flus

- The darker the greens... the higher the nutrients

Milk

- Vitamin D helps bolster our immune system

And many other foods that you eat daily help you feel better if you are feeling sick, and help you prevent getting sick.

Get plenty of Rest

When we sleep, it helps our body and our immune system rest. About the average human should sleep between 8-10 hours each night in order for a good night sleep.



Take Emergen-C or other Multivitamins

Taking Emergen-C or other multivitamins allow people to stay healthy. If you are feeling a cold or flu coming, then you can take an Emergen-C and this will allow you or others to hopefully prevent sickness.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
