Body image is how you see yourself when you look in the mirror or when you picture yourself in your mind. It encompasses: 1.  What you believe about your own appearance (including your memories, assumptions, and generalizations). 2.  How you feel about your body, including your height, shape, and weight. 3.  How you sense and control your body as you move. How you physically experience or feel in your body. 4.  Many of us internalize messages starting at a young age that can lead to either positive or negative body image. Having a healthy body image is an important part of mental wellbeing and eating disorders prevention. Participate in the Wellness Center’s EveryBody Project to learn some strategies for positive body image and how to help a friend.

Nutrition Have more energy, get better grades, and lower your risk for disease! It’s not magic. It’s nutrition. Healthy eating is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain your overall wellness. Unfortunately, misunderstanding and misrepresentation of nutrition in the media or being tight on cash can make eating healthy challenging. We can help you make sense of nutrition so healthy habits become easy.
