EATING HABITS
How can you change your eating habits?
To eat a healthy diet, you may need to make some changes.
Remember that you can change your eating habits a little bit at a
time. Small changes are easier to make and can lead to better
health.

Every day, we make choices about the food we eat and our lifestyles.
We can make choices for ourselves and our families that make a real
difference to our ability to remain healthy and active now, and enjoy
life to its fullest in the future.
WHAT we should eat:
It’s important to follow the dietary guidelines to ensure that you are consuming adequate proteins, fats, and
carbs as well as all the essential vitamins and minerals. Meals should consist of half a plate of fruits and
vegetables with the other half broken down into equal parts protein and grains.
WHEN we should eat:
It has become accepted dogma that you should eat 3 square meals a day in the form of breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. However, recent research has concluded that 3 meals per day is not conducive to weight
maintenance; rather 5 (or so) meals per day is ideal.

SLEEP MANAGEMENT
Avoid large meals three hours before bed. Limit yourself to light
snacks when studying late at night. Avoid routine use
of sleeping pills or other sleep aids, which
reduce sleep quality. Take a short nap (30 minutes or less), as
early in the day as possible, if you are tired
Why do we need sleep?
Sleep is as essential to health as food and water and the body
needs to replenish itself nightly. Sleep increases alertness,
reduces stress, bolsters memory, and promotes overall wellness

Stress management
is a wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at
controlling a person's level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually
for the purpose of and for the motive of improving everyday functioning.
Why is it so important to manage stress?
If you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your entire well-
being at risk. Stress wreaks havoc on your emotional equilibrium, as
well as your physical health. It narrows your ability to think clearly,
function effectively, and enjoy life.
What is stress?
Stress is the body's natural defense against predators and danger. It
flushes the body with hormones to prepare systems to evade or
confront danger. This is known as the "fight-or-flight" mechanism.
