Whether it happens or not, I still stand by this: If our campus provides surgical procedures and health exams, there shouldn’t be an issue with providing Kleenex every once in a while.

Although it may be difficult for fast-food restaurants to operate with such a large menu, offering all-day breakfast would do the general public a great service. Here’s why.
Vaping is not only leeching off of your wallet but also negatively impacting your health, whether or not you’re part of the one in five Americans who believe it isn’t. Although it’s true that vapes generally contain fewer chemicals than traditional cigarettes, that doesn’t mean that you aren’t putting yourself at risk of lung cancer, exposing yourself to formaldehyde (the chemical funeral homes use to preserve the deceased) and becoming more likely to develop heart disease.
Think twice before purchasing animal products at H-E-B. You will not only benefit your physical health but also help save animals and the planet, according to the new four-part series on Netflix, “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment.”
Porn is now a $97,000,000,000 industry. With the rise of OnlyFans and similar platforms, pornographic content is more readily available, and there is a certain “fame” that comes with being a sex worker. But why is that so bad, and what are the long-term consequences?
Students are running out of time to take advantage of the Student Health Advisory Council’s free mobile flu shot clinics, which are running until Nov. 15 in multiple locations on campus.
With October winding down and November soon to be upon us, it’s safe to say that the semester is flying by. We’re over halfway done, which might be either a source of relief to you or a harsh reality check. Either way, here’s some advice to keep in mind for the coming weeks.
“Last week and the week before, there were eight [flu cases] … so it’s only a 2% positivity rate,” Dr. Sharon Stern, Health Services medical director, said. “We have a trickle of cases right now, we’re not overwhelmed with numbers of flu.”
Heavy class loads often make opportunities for free time few and far between, but it’s important to keep your body healthy, and that includes working out. Whether you pick HOTWORX, Pure Barre, Club Pilates or the McLane Student Life Center, workout classes are a great option.
Fitting plenty of vegetables into your diet is something doctors have always recommended, but the answer to how we can get those nutrients has been diversifying with contemporary agriculture.
There used to be a time when, regardless of whether a student had COVID-19 or not, they did not have to go to classes if they felt sick. And why should they? It’s not fair to the student or their fellow classmates and professors. During the pandemic, all parties understood the importance of taking sick days. Now, however, the attendance policy is back in place.
So, scrap the excuses. No, the flu shot doesn’t infect you with an active virus. And no, just because you happened to get the flu after getting the flu shot when you were 11 years old doesn’t mean it’s completely ineffective. A lot of myths circulate on the topic. Don’t jump on the uninformed bandwagon just because it gives you a one-way ticket away from a needle.

At this point, food isn’t just food. The 3,000 food additives consisting of preservatives, flavorings, colors and other ingredients are slapped onto the ingredient list and ignored by the American people.
Dieting is very personal and should be done in a safe and well-researched manner. What works for one person may not work for another, and once someone realizes this, they can be in the right mindset to find what works best for them.
Besides the fact Baylor’s campus is incredibly beautiful and offers plenty of outdoor study spaces, spending time outside holds many benefits to your well-being.
“The issue is that there are no healthy places,” Kotnani said. “No one will go through a drive-thru and get the healthiest options, including myself sometimes. To help mitigate, we provide recipes for these people to do at home, including ones with ingredients that you might already have.”
There are several downsides to the drink, including yellowed teeth, peaked anxiety and a drained bank account, but the health concerns don’t stop there. This poses the age-old question among diligent coffee consumers: to drink or not to drink?
Tote bags are very cute and — dare I say — aesthetic, but they are not practical as backpacks. Backpacks, by design, are made to distribute the weight on your back and shoulders. A tote bag doesn’t.
In January 2021, my aunt died of a pulmonary embolism. I had no warning, just a 10 a.m. phone call that changed my life the day before spring semester classes started. My aunt, who was only 52, had been the most pure source of joy, beauty and sunshine I have ever had the privilege of knowing. It is in her memory that I urge everyone to educate themselves on the risk factors and symptoms of blood clots.

I am a proud American. I love the innovative and individualist spirit of this great nation, but one thing about American culture really makes me cringe.

When it comes to Greek-style yogurt, Americans need to cut the fluff.
