4. Look Up Recipes<br />

If you’re not used to cooking, you can learn the basics by following simple recipes.<br />

Search online <strong>for</strong> healthy recipes that don’t seem too complicated to follow.<br />

5. Pay Attention to What You Drink<br />

Avoid purchasing drinks whenever possible and drink water instead. Even fruit<br />

juice can increase your intake of sugar significantly. Also try to cut down on<br />

alcohol and brew your own coffee instead of purchasing fancy caffeinated drinks,<br />

which are often sweetened with syrup.<br />

6. Prepare <strong>for</strong> Late-Night Hunger<br />

When you’re studying late at night, you may become hungry. It’s fine to eat small<br />

amounts to keep your brain fueled, but snacks must be low in sugar, salt, and fat.<br />

It’s hard to prepare healthy meals if you lack a kitchen. Facilities tend to be<br />

limited on campus, meaning most students resort to relying on less-than-ideal<br />

meal plans. A much better option is to look <strong>for</strong> rooms <strong>for</strong> rent in Oshawa that<br />

come with a kitchen. For Durham College off-campus housing, there’s Village<br />

Suites Oshawa. You’ll receive a suite that has a kitchen shared with no more than<br />

four other people.
