Health Eating for Academic Success</b><br>
<br>
Session Synopsis: Research shows that a relationship exists between overall well-being and academic success. Although well-being is a general term that indicates a state of being healthy, happy, or successful (Merriam-Webster Online, 2014), there are some
steps that need to be taken in order to be healthy, happy, or successful. One of the most important steps is healthy nutrition. Healthy nutrition contributes to a person’s well-being because you are what you eat. This presentation will provide practical
healthy eating tips for academic success. <br>
