Health Concerns: More than Diet and Exercise

The most interesting as well as concerning trend I noticed in my survey about health among USF students was that people were only concerned with diet and exercise.  While these things are important, there is so much more to being healthy.  Students didn't mention anything about sexual health, mental health, drugs and alcohol, preventing illness, avoiding stress, etc.  These are all very important factors in maintaining a healthy, and happy lifestyle.  Here is a really good website that includes information on everything from balancing your plate and exercising with friends, to wearing sunscreen and getting tested for STDs.  I would suggest that USF take some of these tips into account when they are making posters of packets about health for USF students.
