1. HEALTH & WELLBEING THE REAL WEALTH

2. Icebreaker: Money or Health?

3. Health gives you the time and energy to earn more money — so it’s actually the smarter choice.

4. What is Health? Health is not just “ not being sick .” It’s being physically active, mentally calm, and socially connected . Imagine a three-legged stool — if one leg breaks, you fall.

5. Why Students Ignore Health? We skip meals, binge-watch, and think “I’ll take care of my health later.” But health works like savings — the earlier you invest, the bigger your returns.

6. The Cost of Bad Health in Youth Increase the risk of obesity, Diabetes, Heart disease, and Mental health disorders early in life

7. Good health gives you strength and energy, wellbeing keeps your mind happy and balanced, and together they help you work, learn, and achieve—creating the real wealth of life. Without health and wellbeing, wealth loses its value.

8. Dimensions of Wellbeing True wellbeing is balanced . If you’re physically fit but stressed, you’re still not healthy ?

9. Mental Wellbeing for Students Your brain is like your phone - it needs charging too. Take breaks, find hobbies, and talk to friends when you feel low

10. Social & Emotional Health Stay connected. Good friends reduce stress and even help you live longer. Avoid toxic company — it drains you like a low-quality battery

11. Physical Wellbeing Basics Eat balanced meals Move daily

12. Sleep 7–8 hours Drink enough water.

13. Strong Muscles = Better Posture & Energy Evidence : WHO physical activity guidelines (2020) recommend muscle-strengthening activities twice a week to reduce fatigue, improve posture, and prevent back pain — common in students using laptops . Tip : Do bodyweight squats, wall push-ups, and plank holds for 10–15 minutes twice a week.

14. Healthy Eating for Students Eating healthy doesn’t have to be expensive . Replace one packet of chips with a banana or nuts and see the difference in energy

15. Move It or Lose It Long sitting is called the new smoking.” Stand , stretch, or walk for 2 minutes every 30–45 minutes

16. Sitting Too Long is the New Smoking Evidence : The American Journal of Preventive Medicine (2019) reported that sitting more than 6 hours a day increases risk of early mortality by 19%, even if you exercise later . Tip : Follow the 30–3 rule — every 30 minutes of sitting, stand or stretch for at least 3 minutes. Even walking to refill your water bottle counts

17. Sleep = Brain Charger Sleep is your brain’s cleaning service — it removes waste and stores memory . Pulling all-nighters can actually make you forget what you studied.

18. Sleep is Your Natural Performance Enhancer Evidence : A Harvard Medical School study (2021) showed students who slept 7–8 hours had 30% better reaction times and problem-solving skills than those with <6 hours sleep . Tip : No screens at least 30 minutes before bed — your body produces more melatonin for deep, restorative sleep.

19. Screen Time & Eye Health For every 20 minutes on screen, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds . Your eyes will love you for it

20. Evidence: A study in Journal of Optometry (2021) found that college students who performed extraocular ( oculomotor ) muscle exercises daily for 2 weeks had a significant reduction in eye strain symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, and difficulty focusing during prolonged screen use . Tip : Follow the 20–20–20 rule — every 20 minutes of screen work, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds while gently moving your eyes in circles and side-to-side to relax the eye muscles.

21. Breathing Exercise = Brain Power Stress Busters Try the 4-7-8 breathing method — inhale for 4 sec, hold 7 sec, exhale 8 sec. Works like a mini mental vacation.

22. Evidence : A study in Frontiers in Psychology (2021) showed that just 5 minutes of slow, deep breathing at 6 breaths per minute improved focus, reduced stress, and enhanced decision-making in students . Takeaway : Before starting your study or class, take 5 minutes to practice slow, deep breathing — it calms your mind and sharpens your thinking.
