1. Changing your lifestyle vs. dieting. A recent article on CNN featured a woman who "dropped eight dress sizes by changing her style." It is so easy for college students to get carried away in the cafeteria. Before you know it, you've downed a serving of fries, a grilled cheese, pizza and pasta, and are on your way to dessert. How can we avoid this? We're on our way to spring, the time of year when people try to "shape-up" and slim down.
2. A study about insomnia shows that it may be more of a 24/7 disorder than just a sleep thing. According to research, those who suffer from insomnia have more active brains than those who don't. Especially when keeping odd hours, college students have a definite problem with getting enough sleep. Some of this could be linked to insomnia, most of it is just poor sleeping habits.
3. Everyone has a smartphone nowadays, and part of having a smartphone is all the cool little apps you can download. An article by CNN talks about fitness apps, "5 fitness apps that actually get results." What apps at Olivet do students use? Do they think it's useful/helpful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle? Is it possible to go over the edge when using fitness apps? I use a calorie counter app and sometimes all it does is drive me insane!
