To kick off the event, without a hitch. Of course this event couldn’t have been possible without the President Machtley got up on stage to give a few introductory words, mentioning cooperation of all four musical ensembles and each of their members. Hopefully, how far the music program has come and developed over his time here as next year Bryant students will again have the opportunity to experience this President (did you know that when Prez got here – almost 17 years ago – the uniquely wonderful musical showcase. music program was basically non-existent?). Great job to everyone involved with this production! Each musical group then performed three songs each before all getting up on stage to perform an unforgettable finale together. Having been to numerous musical performances over the course of my three years here at Bryant, I can honestly say that this performance has been one of the most outstanding, “The best part at least for me was seeing it all impressive showcases of musical talent at Bryant.

By Debbie Turner Registered Dietician for Bryant University Dining

This cold weather definitely has every one feeling stressed and tired so you are not alone. Low energy affects concentration while interfering with academic and athletic performance. Inevitably, eating behaviors tend to take the brunt of the stress. Changes in your appetite may include cravings for simple carbohydrates (think comfort foods and sugary foods) along with the tendency to overeat or not eat at all. Either one will cause an alteration in your body’s performance. Now is the time to kick those good eating habits into gear with just a few reminders. 1. Think before you reach: Most often stress leads to mindless eating and usually your food choices are not the best. Before reaching, ask yourself “Am I Really Hungry?” If you have gone longer than three hours without eating; the answer is yes, you are most likely hungry. If you are reaching for that candy bar and you just had an egg, whole wheat toast with a glass of low fat milk an hour ago, it is more Is this heaven?

Although fruit juice is a better nutritional option than soda or Gatorade, it contains natural sugar. Save yourself the extra calories and eat the real fruit. The nutritional benefits and lower calories will far outweigh the juice. 4. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Often in the cold weather we tend to not feel thirsty. Realistically, we need to drink even more. Our bodies actually work harder during the winter to maintain the body’s core temperature. Mild dehydration can set Applications in without recognizing it.
