Beutel Health Center Waking up is hard to do. An alarm clock is buzzing, birds are chirping outside your window, the sun is just coming up and you have to get up for those early-morning classes. The start of the semester is always tough, but you can get a jump start on your morning and the semester by eating a healthy breakfast. The snooze bar is a big temptation and ten more min utes of rest sound better than making breakfast, but think about this: Your body has not had food for eight to 12 hours. Your body’s energy stores are depleted and they need to be restored if you plan to function normally. Eating a healthy breakfast will re plenish blood glucose levels, improve your strength and endurance during the morning and help you concentrate and perform better in the classroom. An interesting fact for you to digest is that less than 20 percent of Aggies polled ate breakfast everyday. Everyone has a handful of excuses for why they do not eat breakfast. There are some hard facts to refute these excuses, though, and they may just make you change your mind about breakfast. Tomorrow, you may wake up a break fast eater. I don’t have time for breakfast: If you have been in a grocery store lately, then you are aware of the wide variety of conve nience breakfast items on the shelves. They range from frozen waffles and bagels to cereal . .......... . ... and fruit bars. These items may take five mini utes or less to prepare. Breakfast does not have to mean eggs, and pancakes. Some other quick items inchidJ toast, English muffins, a bowl of non-sugar ceref al, fruit or even just a glass of juice. A quictl low-fat meal helps you get started and takes ver| little time to prepare. I skip breakfast because I am on a diet ant'l want to lose weight: As mentioned before, there are many low-fat| items to choose from when it comes to breakfas: foods. But, more importantly, keep in mind thai when you skip breakfast, you are more likely tol eat larger and later meals. You may consumJ higher fat and cholesterol levels and the mealsf may be lacking in some important nutrients th you missed by skipping breakfast. Also, if you do not eat breakfast, you may! hungry by mid-morning and be tempted to snackl on high-calorie foods like candy bars or chips. Ini the long run, eating a healthy breakfast couldj help you reach your weight-loss goal. I don’t like to eat first thing in the morning: If the thought of food in the early-mornind hours makes you nauseous, then an alternative! is to take breakfast with you. You can pack: piece of fruit or a bagel in your backpack andeatj it on the way to class or between classes. Iffoodj in the morning does not work for you, thenaj least drink some juice or a glass of milk. Yourl body will restore some glucose and have the ener ] gy you need to start your day. High quality medical care enhanced by education and research. Recycle: A&M to expand efforts continued from page 1 The second program is an effort to recycle cardboard at the resi dence halls during the move-in and move out periods. Both programs have shown signs of success, she said. “In Kiest, they’re recycling six bins of paper a week,” DeLarios said. “During the 1994 move-in period, we disposed of 15 tons of cardboard. This could have generated $100 per ton of revenue.” Joe Sanchez, recycling coordinator, said that residence halls have had previous recycling programs, but labeled the involvement as “not consistent.” But DeLarios said she believes her support of the expansion is a reflection of the students’ wishes. “I want this to be done because I think this is something the stu dents want,” she said. Sanchez said that in a month he will make a proposal to Gas ton suggesting changes and improvements in the current recy cling program. “I hope management keeps its eyes open to all the ways to bet ter the program and meet the needs of the campus,” Sanchez said. “I can already see us getting more progressive. I want to have people from all around the country coming to see our program.” Gaston said A&M is committed to recycling on campus. “We want to do everything to reduce the landfill in College Sta tion,” Gaston said.
