In an effort to educate students on the importance of maintaining good health, the Student Dietetic Association hosted its annual nutrition seminar in the auditorium of the Cooperative Extension Building on April 13.
Using the theme, “Be smart, Eat right, Stay fit,” the 19-member-organization welcomed students to the event by registering, which automatically qualified them to participate in the door prize drawing at the end of the event. Several topics were discussed during the seminar, including, “Steps to a Healthier You,” “Stress Management,” and “Fitness Tips,” which were offered by Terry Slater, a trainer from 24 Hour Fitness. A keynote speech was also given by Rosana Arruda of the Houston Department of Health and Human Services.
President of SDA Jazmine Avery said, “I think that programs like this are important so that everyone can be aware about staying healthy. It’s all about being healthy. Oftentimes when we are brought up with our family, we are taught to practice great nutrition, but we tend to lose our way when we come to college.”
