]]>Check Out The College Gym
Unlike when you’re living at home, what’s great about college life is that pretty much everything you need is on campus. This includes the college fitness center. By signing up for the nearby gym, you can enjoy a solid workout without having to travel far and lose more time.
Wear Workout Clothes To Class
If you’re worried about wasting time at the gym, then cut out the need to change into gym clothes by wearing them to class. This way, you get straight into your workout once class ends, while also packing fewer clothes in your gym bag.
(@cynthiaslam)Keep Active As You Study
As you study in your dorm, take short breaks in between. During this time, make sure to move around and perhaps even do some light workouts before returning to the books. Some exercises that you could do include jumping jacks, pushups, plans, sit-ups, and perhaps some light yoga. You could also download a fitness app and search for quick workouts to do.

]]>Communication is Key
If you have roommates, then it’s vital to build a positive relationship with them to ensure that you keep the peace. While setting ground rules is vital, so too is compromise, whereby you accommodate one another on occasion when necessary.
Ensure Good Sleep
While dorm rooms are often small with little freedom for creativity, the one thing you do have control over is the state of your bed. Make sure that you sleep on a comfortable and supportive mattress and that your bedsheets are smooth and don’t scratch you.
Schedule Some Alone Time
While getting along with your roommates is important, it’s also healthy to get some time apart so you don’t get on each other’s nerves. Make sure to schedule alone time in the dorm room when your roommates are out and, alternatively, spend some time outside when they’re home.

]]>Rich in Potassium
Much like their cousin, the banana, plantains are rich in potassium, which is crucial for proper cell function. Because the body doesn’t produce potassium itself, plantains are great for providing your body with the exact potassium content it needs.
High in Fiber
Fiber is critical for your digestive system while also ensuring optimal kidney health. By eating plantains, you’ll receive a solid level of fiber to help reduce your risk of contracting heart disease among other illnesses.
Low in Acid
From acid reflux to kidney diseases, acidic food can have adverse health effects on some people. In order to offset such risks, eating alkaline-based foods could be your ideal solution. “As a registered dietitian that focuses on kidney health, paying attention to acidity is important to have less pressure on the kidneys,” Jennifer Hernandez, a dietician specializing in kidney health explained.
