With finals week going on it can seem difficult to get 150 minutes of moderate activity. But studies have shown that physical activity helps with concentration and can improve test scores. https://t.co/rysJQPzfK1

Finished the #SNAPChallenge. living on $4.40 a day is not healthy. Based on my height and weight, I was low on just about every nutrient and even Calories! Its crazy to think that millions of Americans live like this!

@TrevorWeber13 It's safe to say that farming is an underappreciated job. People tend to see farming as purely labor-intensive but there is a lot of planning, economics and strategic thinking required for the job

@KristynAlbrecht @JennFolliard It sounds like common sense until you realize how many people fall prey to these outlandish health claims. Remember, https://t.co/l6TIKdUudR is your friend! #honorsgrandchallenges

Most people wouldn't pay a penny for a bottle of random, unnamed pills with questionable claims. Yet the supplement industry does just that and it is worth over $122 billion!
