桃瘾社区 was always one of LaChana鈥檚 top choice schools. When she saw that CHP created a Communication Sciences and Disorders master鈥檚 degree program, she knew it was where she was meant to be.

The challenges are real, but they're also manageable, says Christen Cupples Cooper, an assistant professor and founding director of the Nutrition and Dietetics Program at 桃瘾社区 in Pleasantville, New York. "Just because candy canes, chocolates, cookies and holiday fare line almost every aisle of every store, doesn鈥檛 mean you need to buy and consume these products," Cooper says. "Keep the holidays framed in your mind as a celebration and regard food as one element, but not the centerpiece of the entire holiday season."
Dr. Onua explained that she continues returning to 桃瘾社区 because of the variety of programs that are offered; the knowledgeable and supportive faculty; and the excellent clinical placement opportunities that allow students to excel in the field.
At the age of 16, she moved to the United States for the opportunity to go to college and obtain a nursing degree.

According to WebMD, a study done at 桃瘾社区 found that green tea extracts impeded different types of bacteria from growing. Amongst those tested in this study included the kind that causes tooth decay. This alone makes green tea a potential bad breath fighter, since oral health problems and bad breath can go hand in hand. The research also concluded that adding green tea to products like toothpaste could create a one-two punch when it comes to bacteria and viruses.
