Summary of The Smart Student's Guide to Healthy Living: How to Survive Stress, Late Nights, and the College Cafeteria

Welcome to college life. It's full of possibilities-and pitfalls. Cafeteria food is awful, but there sure is a lot of it. And you can eat as much (or more) of anything-and everything-as you want. And in a single year of study, you can grow a gut that will haunt you for the rest of your life. No one in the dorm is going to tell you when to go to bed, and you can wear each all-night cram session like a badge of honor. But on two hours of sleep a night, the circles under your eyes will make you look like a raccoon before midterms-which you'll then probably fail. And exercise-what's that? Say hello to thunder thighs and saggy bat-wing arms.

Sound awful? Good. It's supposed to. But take heart: With the simple advice you'll find in this book, you can eat right and get the sleep and exercise you need to excel academically and creatively. You'll get the straight story on how to avoid the freshman fifteen, and learn how to make good choices in the cafeteria and make smart snacks on those few useless appliances they allow you to keep in your room. You'll get tips on fitting regular exercise into a busy class schedule and getting enough sleep without being the only one who never-NEVER-makes it to the latest of the late-night parties.

? Eat smart to fight the freshman fifteen, food allergies, and fatigue ? Prepare smart snacks right in your dorm room-without burning the place down! ? Get enough sleep without missing out on too much late night fun ? Build the body of your dreams with smart exercise tips ? Make the grade without succumbing to stress
