The UNMC Wellness Council, using the Wellstream Health Risk Assessment (HRA), has identified three goals to increase physical wellness in the UNMC community.
The goals, with action items listed below, are:
- To increase the number of those who report consuming five or more servings a day of high-fiber foods from 15 percent to 20 percent;
- To increase the number of those who report consuming five or more servings a day of fruits and vegetables from 19 percent to 24 percent; and
- To increase the number of those who report that they get an adequate amount of exercise from 25 percent to 28 percent.
Finding a quick, nutritious, and tasty breakfast might seem nearly impossible with a busy schedule. Check out this video on how to prepare overnight oats in less than three minutes before going to bed. They will be ready for you to mix in whatever toppings you desire the next day.
Oats, which are a whole grain, will give you the needed energy to get you through the morning and the natural fiber will help to keep you full longer. With unlimited options for toppings, you can pick the fruits, nuts, and flavors you enjoy and you won’t be stuck eating the same thing day after day.
