Words of Nutrition Wisdom:
You are what you eat! Make healthful food and drink choices most of the time. Eat a variety of foods daily from all the food groups. Choose mostly plant-based foods. Don’t follow diet fads.

Another essential habit is incorporating physical exercises into my daily routine, no matter how tired I am. I always try to maintain a workout schedule, which often includes just yoga or meditation to help me unwind. Creating a personal moment or space each day allows me to release stress of the day.

Do physical activity 3 to 4 times a week and get outside as much as possible. Plan and book time to be physically active and try to improve your flexibility as much as possible as it will help you in the long run. Work hard in school and challenge yourself but seek help when you feel you are burning out.
