Staying healthy during the winter months can be challenging, for tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle for the new year, the Clarion talked to students to see what pointers they had for fellow students.

“You should wear protective hats and extra layers when it’s cold so you don’t get sick,” Jesse Arthur, Early Childhood Education major said.

Exercise is also important during the winter, according to Exercise Science major Arthur Miller.

“Yes, it is okay to exercise in the cold, you have to stay fit and healthy no matter what,” he said. “In order to be successful, you have to have a strong social network — and I don’t mean Facebook. It’s important to talk to people and interact even when its cold out.”

Miller said that it is important to be around positive people who will help you when you are struggling.

“With a positive group of people around you, it is easier to achieve your goals,” he said.

Computer Engineering major Dylan Grippon, however, said that in order to stay healthy, it is all about self-discipline.

“In order to be healthy, you have to want to be healthy,” he said.
