Staying healthy as a college student

For me, staying healthy means eating a well balanced diet and getting enough exercise. Also keeping myself from being sick or catching a virus I make sure that I don't touch things that could be germy.. for example the hand rails in an elevator. I always wash my hands before I eat and after I eat, after being in the bathroom or touching anything dirty by accident. I don't share my food or drinks for the same reason of not wanting to get sick. My mom always tells me when I'm starting to feel sick to drink a lot of orange juice because vitamin C fights germs and bacteria. If I'm coughing or sneezing I always cover my mouth so no one else will catch what I may have. Sometimes in the summer I go out with my hair still wet, but in the winter I always dry my hair so I won't get sick. I take a lot of precausions when the weather starts getting cold and people start getting sick, I avoid being around people who are sneezing or coughing.

I went online and searched some strategies to stay healthy while at college and I found this website: http://www.sheerbalance.com/nutrition/10-tips-for-staying-healthy-at-college/ , the top ten pieces of advice that Emily Thomas gives are as follows:
