Hi, students and non-students. Ever just thought of drinking 10 cans of coke? I certainly have, except with some extra salt.
Here’s the truth…it’s not very healthy.
Some unhealthy foods to avoid:
Trans fats!
Ok, your week-old pizza looks delicious. But did you know a diet high in trans fat increases the risk of depression by up to 48%? What to replace this with?
Kale and broccoli, or anything high in Vitamin K.
Caffeine!
Studying late at night? Reaching for that cup of coffee? Wait a second…long term effects of caffeine can cause anxiety symptoms, such as heart palpitations. What to replace this with?
Some delicious, tasty water.
Sugar!
I love sugar. But in reality, most foods we love are never good for us. Sugar reduces your long and short term memory, as well as your ability to solve problems. What to replace this with?
Blueberries!
But Tea, where do I find money to buy all this? Here are some tips!
Cut down on cakes, biscuits and even chocolate frogs. Try fruit and some plain yogurt!
Buy some peas and lentils! (These are fairly cheap, and healthy.)
Eat more vegetables! (Meat and fish are quite expensive.)
Don’t waste food.
And lastly…don’t be like @mysterious_tea. Eating too much chocolate and adding salt to your coke isn’t good for y’all.
Do you have any food recommendations? Anything students shouldn’t eat? Some tricks to eating healthy for less?
Assuming that you’re a poor student: My recommendation is to by big packs because it’s usually cheaper on the kg. Plan what you’re going to buy before going grocery shopping. That is good if you don’t want to end up with unnecessary things.
Oml, that moment when I ate 7 slices of pizza and some chocolate and cake yesterday and 8 slices of pizza and cake the day before
I really need to follow this advice
Not all fat is bad for you, but you should stray away from anything with 3828492g of sugar in it
Also read the nutrition labels kiddos!
When you see the amount of calories on a package, take a closer look at the serving size.
When you glance at the package of Ben & Jerry’s, it says only 480 calories (but that’s only for 2/3 of a cup). If you took the time to read the serving size, you’d find out that eating the whole pint is around 1,300 calories total, which is most likely more than half your intake for the day.
Oh, crap! I was a really, really, really bad student for a second reason then; I lived on coffee. This was, and still is, my addiction. And no matter how bad it is for me, I just can’t stop.
Why would you add more to it…it already has a high dose of sodium to it. By the way, I would still eat all the stuff listed here plus some of the healthy stuff. Except for the Lentils. You can keep them.
I certainly have, except with some extra salt.
