Let’s be real — eating healthy in college is a whole different vibe. Between late-night pizza runs, vending machine snacks, and the occasional “breakfast” that’s just coffee, it’s easy to forget what a balanced meal even looks like.
But here’s the thing: what you eat actually plays a huge role in how you feel and function. Struggling to stay awake during lectures? Catching every cold that goes around campus? Yeah, your diet might have something to do with that.
It's not just about dodging junk food (although, yes, maybe chill on the fries). A lot of the issue comes from not getting enough of the good stuff — like protein, healthy carbs, vitamins, and minerals — the things your body needs to keep going.
Take vitamins, for example. They’re key for keeping your immune system strong. But that doesn’t mean you need to raid the supplement aisle at the drugstore. The best source of vitamins is still actual food.
