THE BATTALION
Aggies often become accustomed to push
ing their bodies to the limit during the semes
ter by sacrificing sleep for late-night activities
and substituting nutritious meals for junk food
and caffeine. 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.

the number of students at the Rec Center
dwindles.
“Many people get the wintertime blues.
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
