(ANCHOR ONE)

            COLLEGE IS A STRANGE, ANXIOUS AND EXHILARATING TIME WHEN YOU ARE FLOATING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DEPENDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE. MAINTAINGING HEALHTY EATING ROUTINES CAN SOMETIMES BE HARDER THAN PASSING THAT ORGANIC CHEMISTYRY OR GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY EXAM.

EVERYONE GOESTHROUGH CHANGES DURING THESE COLLEGE YEARS AND FINDING BALANCE AWAY FROM HOME CAN BE A CHALLENGE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH SPECIALTY DIETS.

“WE WILL WORK WITH THE STUDENT ONE-ON-ONE. WE CAN PROVIDE MENU LABELING, WHICH CAN BE HIGHLIGHTED IN CERTAIN WAYS TO SHOW WHAT IS BEING SERVED. IN THE PAST, WE HAVE STORED PRODUCT FOR THEM AND HAVE PURCHASED SPECIALTY FOOD ITEMS.”

            THE GREENVIEW DINING ROOM PROVIDES AND ARRAY OF CHOICES FOR THE HUNGRY COLLEGE STUDENTS. THERE ARE HEALTHY OPTIONS, SUCH AS THE POPULAR SALAD BAR, WITH LOWER IN FAT CHOICES, SUCH AS HUMMUS AND TOFU. THERE ARE, OF COURSE, CHOUCES FOR THOSE OF US WHO CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE FRIED FRENCH FRIES AND JUICY HAMBURGERS.

            ANDERSON ALSO ADDED THAT OUR OVERALL LIFESTYLE CHOICES, INCLUDING EXERCISE, AFFECT OUR DIETS: “EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. IF YOU BALANCE YOUR MEALS AND INCLUDE A VARIETY OF CHOICES, YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF.

(ANCHOR ONE)

            A COLLEGE STUDENT’S LIFESTYLE CAN BE HECTIC, WITH LATE-NIGHT STUDYING, ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF HOMEWORK AND GROUP PROJECTS TO COMPLETE. MORE STRESS CAN BE ADDED ONTO ONE’S SCHEDULE WHEN DIETARY RESTRICTIONS ARE A PART OF A PERSON’S DAY TO DAY LIVING.

WHETHER YOU ARE DIABETIC OR HAVE A PARTICULAR FOOD ALLERGY, THE GREENVIEW DINING ROOM GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR BODY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK.
