Every BODY belongs. Every story matters. 💜

Eating disorders affect 30 million Americans across all ages, sizes, races, genders, and backgrounds. Too often, people go unseen or unsupported due to stigma, misinformation, and barriers to care.
This week we want to spread awareness to come together to fight for change, commit to change, and remind everyone that every BODY belongs. 💜

With Cold and Flu 🤧 season upon us it can be difficult to stay healthy, but there are many ways in which we can help boost our immune systems. One important way is through SLEEP 😴! There are 4 main ways that sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy immune system:

✔️ During sleep the body produces white blood cells which help to fight off infection.
✔️ Sleep reduces the amount of inflammation in the body.
✔️ Sleep produces antibodies which also help to fight illnesses.
✔️ Deep sleep triggers hormones which naturally boost the immune system.

So make sure you are getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep per night. If you do get sick, Health Services is here to help! 💪

Colder weather means more time indoors which ultimately means more chances to spread illnesses. 🥴It is important to know the difference between a viral infection (common cold) and a bacterial infection (strep throat).

✅ Viral infections have mild symptoms and can last 7-10 days. They do not require antibiotics and will go away on their own.

✅ Bacterial infections have more intense symptoms that get worse over time and can last longer than 10 days. These infections usually do require antibiotics.

👩‍⚕️If you are unsure what type of illness you have you can have your symptoms evaluated through Geneva College Health Services!
