Bites from the Dietician

This for That, A Day of Easy Swaps to Brighten Your Health. Change doesn't need to be life-changing to benefit your health and happiness.

 

Small changes can have big influences over time. Consider this: Cutting just 100 calories a day can lead to a 10lb weight loss over one year. 100 calories seem insignificant but add up over time. Read on for more small positive changes that reap big health benefits. Incorporating healthy habits into your daily routine can significantly improve your physical and mental health.

 

If you would like personalized information related to nutrition and health, you can contact University Dietitian Terry Passano, RDN, at thpassano@salisbury.edu or request an appointment here. Complimentary sessions are offered to students, faculty, and staff.
