Why College Students?
College students constantly face time constraints, lack of sleep and unhealthy snacking, and are susceptible to more illnesses living in close quarters. A stereotypical unhealthy student diet may may consist of eating ramen noodles or quick snacks for meals and chips and soda while studying or relaxing.
Developing good nutrition habits is crucial in keeping our Spartans as healthy as possible to perform well at all their tasks on and off campus. Proper nutrition can provide benefits such as improved digestion, less fatigue, better moods, higher concentration and improved mental and physical performance.
Health Services wishes to emphasize the importance of health and nutrition, including unique individual needs, so that students can perform at their best while they learn and grow at Manchester.
