Students and Healthy Eating

I am sure as students there is no time to think about food especially as it comes to the end of a semester. With all the deadlines for assignments, your bodies are calling for nutrients and sending signals to you in many ways that it needs attention, but regrettably it is us that suffer in the long run. We grab for that Red Bull, cups of coffee and other caffeinated beverages to keep us going but alas! this is only a short term fix and could be to your detriment.

Instead of the short term fix which could have long term repercussions, why not consider one pot meals, or cooking enough on the weekend that can be kept refrigerated or frozen to stretch and prepare in many other ways during the busy week. Take chicken for example, this versatile bird can be prepared in over 100 ways! One whole bird can last a few days if used in portions to create different meals. Try it and you won't regret it, at least your body will appreciate it as you will be more alert and rearing to tackle those stressful days!
