Kathi Thomas Thomas, associate professor
health and human performance
"Set a goal of 60 minutes of daily physical activity (walking, climbing
stairs, shoveling snow, as well as exercise and sport) to increase health
and happiness."

Sally Barclay
clinician, food science and human nutrition
"Eat more fruits and vegetables (5-10 servings a day) and whole grains (at
least 3 servings a day) to maximize intake of nutrients, fiber and
antioxidants."

Clark Grinde
financial planner and counselor,
ISU Financial Counseling Clinic
"If you carry credit card debt, make a plan to eliminate the balance and
commit to not carrying a balance. Consumer debt creates a huge barrier to
individual financial success. If you owe $10,000 and your interest rate is
18 percent, paying only the minimum balance (2 percent) will take 48 years
and cost $36,824." |
