 My name is Lauren and I'm a registered dietitian here at the University of Cincinnati. Today we're going to learn five tips to healthy eating here on campus. Tip number one is never skip breakfast. It's true what your parents said to you in high school. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives you brain power to do well in school and gives you fuel to get through your classes. It can be as easy as grabbing something like a piece of fruit right as you walk out the door. Tip number two is to load up on fruits and vegetables. Try to have at least one fruit or vegetable on your plate at every meal and at snacks. The USDA guidelines for healthy nutrition recommend that your plate is half fruits and vegetables at every meal. Tip number three is to ditch the sugary beverages. Drinks like soda, energy drinks and sports drinks add added calories and added sugar. Water is always the best choice. Tip number four is to always choose whole grain. In your dining halls or in your dorms, look for items that are made with whole grain because they tend to have more fiber which helps to keep us fuller. Our white refined grains don't have nearly as much nutrition, hardly any fiber and leave us feeling hungry. Your last and final tip is to enjoy dessert and moderation. We have lots of tasty treats in our dining halls and we want to make sure that we don't overindulge and also don't restrict and be too hard on ourselves. Life is all about balance. Thanks for tuning in everyone. Hope you have a healthy year. For more nutrition tips visit the link below. Thanks.
