OU Guides Students to Good Health

The University of Oklahoma's housing, food and health services have set up a booth in the Union to promote National Nutrition Month.

They are providing different pamphlets to teach students how to eat healthy and exercise. Also, they are offering free food samples to demonstrate what type of foods students should try to look for when deciding what to eat for a meal or snack. 

For the students on the housing meal plan, there is a guide of what to order from the different fast food restaurants to replace fried foods and greasy meats.

"I believe that housing and food does a really good job of providing all sorts of food to those on meal plans" said Rachel Davenport, Housing and Food Representative "Of course there is food that is unhealthy but there is also plenty of healthy foods that the students could pick instead."

They also give health facts about the food students get from a meal plan at The Cafe, Etcetera, Union, or Cate Center.

Carly Costello, public relations freshman said why she thinks the Cafe is a healthy place to eat.

Eating nutrient-dense food and increasing physical activity will help students with a slow and steady weight loss, according to the Healthy Eating brochure.
