Stay hydrated with water
Water is a better option than most other drink options. Keep a reusable water bottle with you when you study and skip the sugary sodas, fruit drinks, energy and sports drinks.

The value of variety

Eat a variety of foods from all food groups each day — fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy or fortified soy alternatives. You need all of the various nutrients found in each food group.

Super snacks 
Pick out snacks that are nutrient-rich and low in sugars, saturated fat, and sodium.

Strengthen your bones

Your growing bones need plenty of calcium and vitamin D. Low-fat dairy milk, soy milk, and yogurt are great sources of calcium, vitamin D, and protein to keep you energized. Sunshine is another great source of vitamin D, so step outside for a few minutes to get a boost.

Keep moving
Squeeze in some physical activity between school, going out, studies, and other activities. Walk the dog, ride your bike with a friend, stretch, or do an online workout to reduce stress and to avoid fatigue.
