This past week in our leadership class we dicussed nutrition and exercising. Dr. Lynn Esselstein introduced us to the new "food pyramid", which is actually now a plate. I found myself thinking back on what I had eaten that day. (It didn't exactly fit the "perfect" food plan per meal) I thought her presentation was very interactive. She let some students separate different fake foods into which category they belonged. This helped students get a better picture of what a typical meal could look like. I know I definately do not want to gain a lot of weight in college so I will do my best to follow this nutritious meal plan. (And occasionally slipping in some ice cream or a cookie)
The following presentation was given by Dr. Kim Fischer. Her expertise was in exercise. (She definately fit the part too, she was ripped!) She explained that participating in exercise is not limited to running and lifting weights. It can include your favorite hobbies like dancing, shopping, getting involved in an intramural sport, etc. I love to exercise so I really enjoyed her presentation on different ways on exercising and having fun. Exercise is an important thing to take part of because it benefits your social, emotional, and physical health.
This class has been very intriguing so far. I've enjoyed all our speakers and have been able to relate with many of them. I can't wait to see what other speakers have prepared for us. Have a good day and stay healthy!
