Health ToGo!
Brushing your teeth, staying away from the candy aisle in the supermarket, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator to the 6th floor today: In our everyday lives, we have already internalized numerous health behaviors or are kindly guided by our inner conscience to make a health-conscious decision (well, the stairs then!). However, sometimes (perhaps daily) we need to be reminded visually or by a verbal cue of what is good for us and our health. The TUM4Health "Pocketwissen" inclused two postcards that will help you to stay hydrated throught your day, and develop a healthy sleep routine! In addition, our emergency postcard summarizes all numbers you need to know as a TUM student.
Stay Hydrated!
Adequate hydration is important for your concentration and for maintaining your bodily functions. This postcard includes a 7 Days Hydrate Challenge and will help you to drink enough water. Plave this card in a visible spot in your home and use a 0.5 liter bottle to keep track of your water drinking progress.
Improve your Sleep!
Especially at the beginning of the semester, students have to adapt to a new daily routine and balance many things at the same time: their study workload, a part-time job, social obligations, sports and leisure activities. While sleep is often not a priority, irregular sleep rhythms are common in students. Yet, sleep is an important predictor of cognitive performance in students and vital to our overall health. To keep a regular sleep rhythm during the semester, we've put together a checklist of tips that can help you to develop a healthy morning and evening routine and improve your sleep!
Contacts you should know about!
This card summarizes important (emergency) numbers as well as contact addresses of numerous TUM service facilities that offer free advice and support services for TUM students.
Put it on your fridge so you will have the number availble if needed!
Would you like to place one of the postcards on the fridge of your flatmate or sensitize someone in your personal environment to a more health-conscious lifestyle? Our TUM4Health postcards are available at numerous student affairs offices and at the student advisory service. You don't find one? - then feel free to email us and we'll let you know how to get the postcard assortment of your choice!
