Physical Well-being
Physical well-being is practicing self-care for the needs of your body. This includes physical activity, balanced nutrition, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful behaviors.
Physical wellness also includes a personal responsibility to understand your body’s warning signs and recognize when you are ill and in need of medical attention.

Self-Care
Sleep
Sleep is important to help your body recover and be ready to go everyday! Sleep deprivation can result in lower grade point averages, increased risk of academic failure, impaired moods, and other consequences.

Down Time
- It’s important to step away from all the many responsibilities you are juggling each day. Burnout is real, learn how to avoid it and reach your full potential!
Nutrition
In addition to physical activity, what you eat has a major impact on your physical well-being. One of the most important decisions you make each day is choosing which foods to eat. Whole, nutrient-dense foods are a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. Eat well to live longer, prevent disease and maintain a healthy weight.
