Healthy nutritional habits in a college student’s life often lead to improved overall health, according to Katherine R. Kusza, Registered Nurse at MWCC.
According to Kusza, a healthy diet consists of a balanced nutritional intake, including a blend of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and low-fat dairy products. Reducing your overall calorie intake by eating smaller portions and more frequent meals is important as well in maintaining a healthy diet.
Kusza provided a sample of a balanced meal from ChooseMyPlate.gov. The meal includes half a plate of fruits and vegetables, half a plate of grains and proteins, and one serving of milk.
