Away at school and on your own – advice for the first time cook

If you’re preparing food on your own for the first time, here are some tips to help you make healthy and inexpensive choices. Here’s your chance to have fun with food.


Family Meals with no TV

Eating meals together as a family is linked to eating more balanced meals and a greater variety of healthy foods. Eating while watching TV, on the other hand, is linked to poorer food choices and also increases risk of childhood obesity.


How to Raise Kids with a Healthy Body Image

Children, teens and the way they look – how parents can help them foster a positive self-esteem and a healthy body image from a young age.


Making healthy choices in the residence cafeteria

Living in residence and having a meal plan can mean you have a lot of food options – and not all of them healthy. Follow these guidelines to make the most of your choices.


Making healthy fast food choices at school

Fast food and take-out places are popular on campus because students don’t always have the time and money to look for other options. Enjoy your hamburger and fries once in awhile but also remember that you can make healthier choices most of the time.
