An Apple on the Go: Stayin' Healthy and Full


We've all heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, however sometimes that apple can take a long time to eat and one can find trouble fitting it into his or her schedule. I therefore have discovered that eating an apple while traveling from one location to another is the best way to fit in that piece of fruit.

Most of us in college have to walk or bus at least 10 minutes to class and when our lives are extremely busy we might as well do more than just walk when we can also use that time productively. Therefore, grabbing an apple before you leave your apartment or dormatory is a healthy and important way to use that time.

Far too often college students are not properly nourished. I know several students whose diet consists of burgers, fries, pizza, wings, etc. They also consider microwave popcorn and ketchup vegetables. Fruit is counted in the form of fruit punch or other juice then combined to make an alcoholic beverage. Our nutrition needs help.

I do not believe it is because we don't know what to eat, I believe it is because we are too busy to eat what is best for us. As always there are ways to slip good nutrition in our diet, whether that is eating and apple while traveling to class or ordering vegetables on one's pizza.

Lastly, with proper nutrition one will feel better, have more energy, feel less stressed, look better, and overall function better. It is a choice one decides to make and I always advise one step at a time.
Best,
and Stay Strong!

Allenholm farm is an apple orchard/farm in South Hero VT! They have an apple called the Vermont Gold which is probably the best apple I have ever ate. Their website is
