healthy eating as a student

!!never say that healthy eating is unachievable for students. this is a horrible mindset that will no doubt affirm the problem.

healthy eating is important for several reasons, especially to maintain high levels of energy, focus, and overall well-being. first, it supports physical health by providing sustained energy, boosting the immune system, and aiding in weight management. nutritious foods rich in vitamins and minerals strengthen the immune system, helping to fend off common illnesses. a balanced diet also ensures steady energy levels throughout the day, preventing the mid-afternoon crashes often caused by sugary snacks or processed foods.

academically, students who eat well are likely to see enhanced focus, better grades, and consistent energy levels. balanced meals supply a steady flow of glucose to the brain, which is essential for maintaining alertness and concentration during classes and study sessions. a nutritious diet supports cognitive processes, leading to improved academic performance and outcomes.

you cannot live off of two-minute noodles.

now, here are some hacks and strategies to make healthy eating more achievable:

planning and prep

meal planning: take some time each week to plan your meals. this helps you make thoughtful choices and avoid last-minute unhealthy options.

meal planning with roommates: if you live with roommates, organizing a meal plan together can be a fantastic way to share responsibilities and ensure everyone eats healthily. take turns cooking meals, or have a weekly cook-off where each person prepares a nutritious dish.

grocery list: make a list of healthy staples and stick to it when shopping. this can include fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.

batch cooking: prepare meals in bulk on weekends or free days. store them in portioned containers for easy access throughout the week.

healthy snacks: keep healthy snacks like nuts, yogurt, fruit, or cut veggies on hand to avoid reaching for junk food.

budget-friendly options

buy in bulk: items like grains, beans, and frozen vegetables can be bought in bulk and stored for long periods.

seasonal produce: opt for fruits and vegetables that are in season as they are often cheaper and more nutritious.

generic brands: don't shy away from store-brand products; they are often cheaper and just as good in quality.

easy and quick meals

stir-fries: quick to make and customizable with any veggies and proteins you like.

salads: easy to prepare with fresh ingredients. you can add a variety of toppings like nuts, seeds, lean meats, and beans.

smoothies: blend fruits, vegetables, and a protein source like yogurt or milk for a quick and nutritious meal.

oatmeal: a great breakfast option that can be topped with fruits, nuts, and seeds.

pre-made healthy options: utilize pre-made healthy options like salad packs or pre-cut veggies to save time. these can be a lifesaver on busy days when you need a quick and nutritious meal.

utilizing campus resources

dining hall options: if you're looking for healthier options, check out your dining hall. many campuses offer salad bars, whole grain options, and lean proteins.

nutrition counseling: some universities offer nutrition counseling services that can help you develop a personalized eating plan.

i hope this was helpful, and that you take something away from the post! 🫶nene

October 15 /24

We’re halfway through October. That’s damn crazy.

Recently, a habit I’ve wanted to get into is to really enjoy what I’ve been reading. I feel like life is so bustling around and so much constant work that it’s tough to truly savour anything. So, I’ve been setting aside some time, maybe once a week or a couple times a week, to give myself a couple hours and really sink into a book. The last book I read, “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain” by George Saunders, was fantastic. Absolutely devoured it, his voice is so passionate and yet so critical. I loved every second, and it made it very easy to get back into this habit.

QOTD: what is one event or experience that has changed your perspective of life?

"She doesn't speak too much but she leads the most intelligent conversations. She is a thinker. She has her coffee and books and music. She has her style. There's something so deep in her eyes. That's why everybody stares at her. She has a beautiful soul. She has a power and she is not afraid to be different. She is the art."

Dear Suicide, you are a a permanent response to temporary problem, and you are a solution to nothing. I just want to say right from the outset, there is nothing good or Romantic about you, Suicide. You are a tragedy. You are also, in almost all cases, preventable. [...] There is a correlation between depressive personalities and creativity, but people who are suffering from paralyzing depression don't create anything. So it's very important to me whenever we discuss a writer whose life ended with suicide that we note that people survive depression.

(does this even count as a studyblr post? I don't think so, but we ball)

Had lunch at a fancy restaurant with my teachers and their other research students. It was fun, but also slightly nerve-wracking bc I'm so painfully socially awkward and every time I open my mouth everything I just thought about saying goes to shit and I end up spewing a whole paragraph in 10 seconds.

I can't, I just can't.

Survived, tho.
