Anxious? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Tired?
Our diets can dramatically change when we are under pressure. Often for the worse.
Entering the end of the semester causes stress for many college students.
So, instead of stress eating and falling into a pattern of eating a diet that primarily consists of unhealthy foods...check out these tips to eating healthy and fuel your body for success!
1) Eat fruits & vegetables first - this way you will fill up on these healthy foods and be less hungry for the heavier main course.
2) Focus on your food - limit distractions when you eat, really pay attention to how the food tastes, give yourself time to eat so you don't have to rush through every meal.
3) Drink 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day - keeping hydrated is important as the weather gets warmer and to feel your best!
4) Choose healthy options - fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, lean meats (turkey, chicken, fish, beans, nuts) and whole grains (100% whole wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal, 100% whole wheat pasta)
Our diets impact our mood and how we are feeling more than you'd think!
Try one of the above tips and see for yourself.
