Nutrition & Wellness

Making the Right Food Choices On-Campus

Life as a student can at many times be very frantic. University of Wisconsin-Superior students are very busy balancing their academic and social commitments. Often times, simple things like eating a well-balanced and healthy diet can be overlooked. Grabbing food on the go and consuming lots of caffeine can become a basic survival technique for some.

The foods that you eat may have a big impact on how you feel: from increased energy levels and concentration spans, to your mood and resilience to cope with the pressures of being a college student. Taking the time to consider what you eat is very important to your health and wellness.

At UW-Superior Dining Services we make every attempt to provide a menu selection that allows students to choose flavorful and nutritionally-balanced meals. From Breakfast to Dinner we offer items that can suit almost any diet. UW-Superior Dining Services provides a wide variety of foods and a commitment to healthy eating. Our menus provide options for a healthy diet based on the principles of moderation and variety.

Why Consult a Dietitian?
Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in health and wellness. Without proper eating habits, people become sluggish, have a hard time concentrating, or may even become very ill. Needless to say, poor nutrition can keep us from living at our highest potential. By consulting with a dietitian, you can learn how to lead a healthier lifestyle and feel more energized by improving your eating and physical fitness habits. A dietitian can also assist you with any special dietary needs.
