Unhealthy lifestyles often take a toll on students’ physical health and can neg atively affect them as they prepare for finals. Melinda Smith, a junior accounting major, said being sick during finals makes it difficult for her to study. “Finals are usually a really stressful time, and being sick during finals just makes it that much harder to stay focused,” Smith said. It is no coincidence that lecture halls echo with sneezing and coughing as finals draw near. Excessive stress causes the body’s physical condition to deteriorate, leaving the immune system vulnerable. Matthew Hudspeth, graduate assistant for Student Health Services at A.R Beutel Health Center, said students can prevent illness by keeping a regular diet. “A change in diet can add additional stress to your body,” Hudspeth said. “Don’t change what you normally do. If you already have an unhealthy diet, keep it during finals and then change it.” Often, students believe having higher vitamin C intake by doing things like eat ing oranges, will reduce the possibility of getting sick. However, rather than focus ing on one particular vitamin, it is better to maintain a balanced diet, Hudspeth said. He suggested students take a dietary analysis offered through the Student Health Services. The analysis tells stu dents how to improve and adjust their diet. Students can walk in, and the service is free; it is already included in student fees. Students also can prevent illness is through physical activity. “After my freshman year. I realized how important it is to exercise on a regular basis,” Smith said. “Even if I have a busy week, I make time to go to the [Student Recreation Center].” Jerod Wilson, a weight room and personal trainer coordinator at the Student Recreation Center said as the semester draws to a close. ecreation Ct |ey team and azos Cour and Cc ir Lynn Me e forum anJ istic about hi ice-skatir izos Valley, cllhaney saic n’s proxim .ustin would chance at : addition | ity would al> such as rode* concerts, sed for non. like public ng, broom be he tive-lbrui j| :dthe possib H ofessional h ryan-Colleg Central Hoc- valent to mir I has severa ps.

They stay indoors and stop working out.” Wilson said. “It is important to be physically active year around. The Rec Center provides a wonderful opportunity for this. It is indoors and offers a wide variety of activities to choose from.” he said. Wilson said students who are not accustomed to the weight room can learn which routines suit their personal needs from a personal trainer. Two sessions with a trainer cost $30. Trainers instruct stu dents on performance and efficiency tech niques. Partner sessions are offered for $45. By establishing routines with another person, students can keep one aim accountable after the training sessii Exercise relieves stress during keeping the body active and change to the monotony of studying. aFso to prevent sickness, stm should examine factors that affect individual health.
