Eating Right During The Most Stressful Times

Stephan: The most difficult part of eating right for me during midterms and finals is when I am in the store doing the grocery shopping. More specifically determining what items I actually need over the items I want in the moment. I categorize these foods as discretionary purchases. As someone who likes to stay active making sure you stick to a plan is key. One solution that personally helps me stick to my plan in the grocery store is making a list before I go to the store so I know exactly what I need in order to make my visit as efficient as possible.

Leena: The most difficult thing for me about eating healthy during stressful times. Is stress snacking. Whenever I have to start studying for long periods of time at a time (like for midterms and finals) I always end up getting hungry, and start snacking on whatever I can find around the house. That ended up in me finding a whole lot of junk food, candies, chips, cookies, you name it. This caused me to gain quite a few pounds, which became harder and harder to take off as time went by. This is when I realized that something had to change. I tried to stop all snacking, but then it got harder to focus on my studies. This made me realize that I needed to get healthier foods to snack on. I made sure to keep the fridge stocked with healthier alternatives like cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, and all kinds of fruits. This really helped me to keep my snacking on and my health in good shape.

Ian: Personally I experience the most intense stress when I feel like I don’t have enough time to complete things I need to, which is often the case during midterms and finals. When you have a lot of studying to do it is hard to manage time, and as we all know it takes time to prepare healthy meals. In these situations it is easy to settle for unhealthy options like fast food and through that I have learned the importance of planning ahead. Doing things like preparing ingredients the day before or minimizing required ingredients are great ways to make the cooking process a little quicker.

Basil:
Since the past year, I started doing the ketogenic diet. With dieting in general, it takes a huge commitment, especially when you are trying to replace your source of energy. In addition, it takes longer time to select the groceries needed when on a diet; so as a college student, staying on the keto diet was a struggle. My advise to college students is that when you are following a diet, it is ok to by cheaper alternatives like inorganic vs organic produce, or prepared meal kits. Meal kits can be expensive, but if enough research has been done, one could find great deals.

Hesham:
Time: As a college student, the main thing that I lacked was not having enough. On average it takes me about 1-2 hours to prepare a meal and something 3 hours when including washing the dishes. So, basically 6-8 hours have gone for sleep, 1-2 for cooking, so what is left is 16 hours a day to do homework, assignment, and attend classes, which leaves a small number of hours for a college student to enjoy their life. I struggled with that, so we decided that the best way to improve the lifestyles of college students is giving them a feasible amount of Time🤷‍♂️

Happy everyone! Today's focus is energy! 💪🧠



As a college student it is important that you have the energy you need to take on all those grueling assignments and one of the best sources of energy is B vitamins (NOT ENERGY DRINKS). B vitamins are especially important because they are at the center of our cellular energy metabolism and are crucial for brain function. There are eight B vitamins: 1-3, 5-7, then 9 and 12. Some foods that are great sources of most if not all of these are whole grains, leafy greens, avocados, legumes, eggs, salmon, beef, chicken, and pork.
