"Live Well Aztecs Approved”
Here at SDSU, leading an active, engaged and balanced life is not only fun, it’s rewarding! The Live Well Aztecs initiative is a campus wide collaboration that combines many resources in order to promote health, wellness and well-being for students, faculty and staff.
To further promote health and wellness, Live Well Aztecs has teamed up with SDSU Dining to allow making healthier choices easy! Food items labeled, “Live Well Aztecs Approved”, allow you to identify healthier choices such as foods that contain 100% whole grain, have lean protein (including seafood), as well as foods that are a good source of fruits and veggies and low in sodium, added sugars and saturated and trans fats.
Some examples include:
- SUPERFOODS
Tuna with Spinach (from the Aztec Market)Bring on the superfoods! Tuna is high in protein and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce your risk of heart disease. Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals to help fight inflammation.
