Health & Lifestyle by Kriste Alberts As a student, I understand the stress we all go through, but do we understand how this affects us? Tired and exhausted for exams? Lack of concentration? Sleeping more than studying but still end up being tired? This may be the result of many things but have you thought of your eating habits during exams? Students stress more and more when it gets to exam time and as a result may eat more or eat less. In either of these cases, it is extremely unhealthy. If this is your problem, how are we going to fix it? During exams our healthy eating lifestyle becomes the last on the list of priorities. It is very easy to get into the habit of eating takeaways, pizza and drink cup after cup after cup of coffee. Trust me I know! 5 Tips for healthy eating habits during exam time 1. Do NOT skip meals, especially breakfast. Check out our information ‘Breakfast – a Great Start to Your Day’ for some fantastic breakfast suggestions, even if you’re short on time. 2. Time is precious – choose quick and healthy meals Breakfast •Wholegrain cereal withmilk and glass of orange juice •Wholemeal bread toasted with chopped banana and glass of milk Lunch or Tea •Bowl of vegetable soup and wholemeal bread with an apple and yoghurt •Chicken / tuna salad wrap and pure fruit smoothie •Baked beans on whole-grain toast •Baked potato topped with tinned tuna, baked beans or grated cheese •Scrambled egg on toast with grilled tomato TOP-TIP! A 'baked' potato can be easily prepared in a microwave in about 5 minutes Dinner •Chicken or beef stir fry with noodles •Egg omelette with cheese and baked potato •Pasta with tinned tuna topped with cheese TOP TIP! Frozen vegetables are packed with nutrients and are great when you are pressed for time. 3. Work, rest and play Adequate sleep is essential to ensure you can recall the information you have worked so hard to learn as well as to absorb the new information you read. Allow yourself time to relax before bedtime. Avoid caffeine-containing drinks late at night. (Red Bull, Play, Monster etc.) To help relieve stress, clear your mind and lift your mood, break up your study with short bursts of exercise. You could go for a jog, a swim, a cycle, or even just walk to the nearest café. Work like a Captain and play like a Pirate.
4. Keep Hydrated! 70% of our bodies consist of water. The less water you drink the more your body needs to work to keep a balance (homeostasis). Water is essential to stay healthy and improve your concentration. Drink between 1.5l and 2l daily. Consider drinking from a 250ml water bottle and refill it. Carrying water around makes you more conscientious and you end up finishing it. Health &Lifestyle 5. Keep up the snacking. Snack throughout the day with healthy eats. - Popcorn - Nuts - Yoghurt - Fruit or dried Fruit. Take time to think about how important it is for your body to function properly so that you can be successful in your studies. These are but only 5 tips and there are many others to consider. Enjoy, work hard and Good Luck! Reference to: http://www.schooldays.ie/articles/5-tips-for-healthy-eating-when-studying
