College is unhealthy?

How many of you would say that college is unhealthy lifestyle? Probably not many of you would think college could be unhealthy, but when you think about it college is plagued with stress ridden students who do not always get enough sleep. Also think about the recent outbreak of N1H1 and how vast the spread of that was. Many of us college students either got the virus or knew somebody who did. College can be dangerous for out health and I want to let people know how they can combat this.

I found this article that gives a good list of things you can do to improve your health. It alos outlines why college students need exercise. Simply walking to class is not enough, students need to get thier heart rate up. Going to the gym or riding a bike is something the article discusses. Also f.y.i. the binge drinking that some college students know and love is not healthy. Drinking "shockingly" can cause weight gain. This is also something the article discusses and it links to another webpage that talks about the effects of binge drinking, so check out this article and become more knowledgeable about your college health.
