It seems like food is everywhere,\u00a0making it easy for\u00a0students\u00a0to snack\u00a0between classes. Fast food restaurants abound. There may not be time to get back to your dorm or apartment for lunch, and it\u2019s just so easy to grab a quick pastry at the coffee spot as you pass by between classes.

Obesity is associated with many medical conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Although some health problems may not appear until later in life, diabetes is increasing rapidly in children and teenagers. Furthermore, the habits young adults may already have or may form during their college years generally continue into later years.\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s the eating by habit, or mindlessly, that usually gets us in trouble and leads to weight gain. If we\u2019re mindful instead, however, we can develop better habits.\r\n<h3>Eating Well<\/h3>\r\nThe key to a good diet is to eat a varied diet with lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and to minimize fats, sugar, and salt.
