I was thinking about the month ahead and what I want to write about my walk the other day.   This student sitting on the bench reading and sporting a shiny apple had me pause to capture the moment, and had me also thinking about how important well being is for this age group.

I’ve pondered this before. I think with two of my own this age, I can easily see that they don’t always make the best choices nutritionally

I have a long list of nutrients and herbs I think are beneficial for college students, but if I had to pick the three must haves, it would include:

A quality multi -vitamin. the ultimate daily dose of nutritional insurance

Vitamin C.  a lot of anti-oxidant bang for the buck, and when someone over does it uh, like every college kid we know – Vitamin C offers results.

Echinacea, MORE bang for your immune system buck – this take occasionally herb gets those white blood cells into kick butt over drive fast and a great little supplement took when virus, colds and seasonal allergies come on.

 

Keeping College Kids Healthy

It’s rock and roll and back to school time for college kids.

You can feel the flurry of purchasing.

You can feel the excitement and anticipation.

I have two in college this year.

From a parent perspective, when I think of college I think of parties, germs; especially in those icky dorm showers.  I think of poor quality eating - can you say iceberg lettuce? Not to mention the likelihood of weight gain,stress and illness.

With parents often miles away – what can we do?

I suggest we encourage healthy living and prevention.

I’s also have you consider spending your consumer dollars with a conscientious company.

I personally will do all I can to encourage and support any college student who wants to be vibrant, healthy and alert for school.

My daughter by choice, not by insistence on my part, is taking much of what the list below suggests. Her brother when he left for school had his list too, and years later he is particular about the products he cleans with or puts on his body. I am grateful for their positive attitudes and their exampling to others. It could have been a time of breaking away that included choosing their own brands and yet they remain loyal to how they were raised.  I think that’s cool.

Who do you know who’s going to college who might want to take on their health and well being?
