National Nutrition and Hydration Week is a good reminder that taking care of your body doesn’t have to be complicated—sometimes it’s just about small, consistent habits like staying hydrated and fueling yourself with balanced meals 💧🥗

If you’re looking for ways to build those habits, UC Davis has some great resources. The Teaching Kitchen offers hands-on classes where you can learn easy, practical cooking skills and how to make nutritious meals that actually fit your routine.

Women’s Health Awareness Month is a time to check in—with your body, your mind, and your overall well-being 💛

Health looks different for everyone, but taking care of yourself can include staying up to date on check-ups, prioritizing mental health, getting enough rest, and paying attention to what your body is telling you. Small steps really do add up.

If you’re looking for support, information, or a sense of community, you’re not alone. The UC Davis Women’s Resources and Research Center offers resources, programs, and a supportive space focused on empowerment, education, and well-being.

You can learn more or get involved by visiting the WRRC website or stopping by their space on campus.

Taking care of yourself is powerful—and you deserve it 💙💛

National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week is a good reminder to learn the facts and have more open, honest conversations about substance use. Having the right information really can help us make safer, healthier choices.

Did you know? Alcohol is the most commonly used substance among college students in the U.S., and drinking too much in a short period of time can increase the risk of alcohol poisoning, injuries, and other serious health concerns.

If you or a friend ever need support, you’re not alone. UC Davis Student Health and Counseling Services offers confidential support through ATOD (Alcohol, To***co, and Other Drugs) Intervention Services, as well as Aggies 4 Recovery—a counseling group where students can connect and support each other. Both also have online resources if you want to learn more or explore options at your own pace.

You can schedule an appointment through Health-e-Messaging or check out the SHCS website for more info.

Taking care of yourself—and looking out for each other—helps keep our community strong 💙💛
