Achieve a healthier lifestyle -- physically, emotionally, socially and sexually -- with Tunks' "An Invitation to Health." The new edition covers up-to-date information about student behaviors nationwide, including topics such as sleep, the updated USDA guidelines for healthful eating, navigating trends on social media, medical marijuana, safer sex practices and tools for identifying unhealthy trends in personal health and fitness. An expanded consumer health feature is designed to help students cultivate an algorithm that is focused on proven health practices. Students will appreciate how the book connects real-life challenges -- like stress, social media and staying healthy on a budget -- to simple, actionable strategies. Its inclusive content, up-to-date topics (like mental health, vaping and medical marijuana) and active learning features make it both relevant and empowering.
