How Well Are You?

Assess your Physical Wellness

Overall physical wellness involves balancing your physical activity, the foods you eat, getting adequate sleep, and noticing your body鈥檚 warning signs.  

Read the following statements and answer how much each statement reflects you.

  1. I engage in physical exercise regularly (e.g., 30 mins at least 5x a week or 10,000 steps a day)
  2. I get 6-8 hours of sleep each night.
  3. I protect myself and others from getting ill (e.g., wash my hands, cover my cough, etc.).
  4. I abstain from drinking alcohol; or if I do drink, I aim to keep my BAC under .06.
  5. I avoid using tobacco products or other drugs.
  6. I eat a balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, low-moderate fat, whole grains).
  7. I get regular physical exams (i.e., annual, when I have atypical symptoms).
  8. I drink the recommended amount of liquids (eight 8-ounce glasses).
  9. I have good endurance or aerobic capacity.
  10. I have more than enough energy to meet my daily responsibilities. 

If you answer 鈥渟ometimes,鈥� 鈥渞arely,鈥� or 鈥渘ever鈥� for any of the statements, there is room for improvement. You can check out these campus resources for help.
