Balance Mind Body Soul is a holistic or integrated approach to wellness and fitness that considers the whole person. Fitness and wellness are a balance of lifestyle choices and events - physical, mental and environmental. It is not about fads or diets. It is about maintaining balance in one's life. Wellness is unique to each individual and knowledge is key.
Each month Sodexho Campus Services features a new range of topics which are available on site and in more depth at www.balancemindbodysoul.com
Also, there is a nutrition calculator within this site with which you are able to calculate the nutritional breakdown of your diet.
Is the Freshman 15 fact or fiction?
Average weight gain the first year of college is more realistically in the range of 4-6 lbs.
Reasons that weight gain occurs is multifaceted but observation shows that:
- Activity level and/or exercise decreases and individuals who were active in high school sports are not participating in favorite sports as a freshman.
- Buffet-Style dining and all –you-can-eat fares demand a conscious effort to choose healthier options. Less healthy choices are often fried foods, double entrees and sugar laden desserts and beverages. Opt for lower calorie items, single or half portions and have the high calorie foods less often.
- Mindless eating tends to increase especially in the evening and can include eating for other emotional reasons as boredom, loneliness, or stress. Late night eating can contribute to small weight gain over a period of time.
