Physical well-being is practicing self-care for the needs of your body. This includes physical activity, balanced nutrition, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful behaviors.
Physical wellness also includes a personal responsibility to understand your body’s warning signs and recognize when you are ill and in need of medical attention.

How do you prioritize fitness into your routine as a college student? It can be challenging, but so worth it! Exercise offers many amazing benefits, including stress reduction, clearing “brain fog”, better sleep, more energy, increasing confidence, and creating positive vibes!
CRW has newly renovated facilities on both the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses that offer a wide variety of ways to get involved in exercise, no matter your fitness knowledge or experience.
Sleep is important to help your body recover and be ready to go everyday! Sleep deprivation can result in lower grade point averages, increased risk of academic failure, impaired moods, and other consequences.
In addition to physical activity, what you eat has a major impact on your physical well-being. One of the most important decisions you make each day is choosing which foods to eat. Whole, nutrient-dense foods are a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. Eat well to live longer, prevent disease and maintain a healthy weight.
