► Helathy Eating

A health diet not only affects your general health, but also your energy levels, your ability to concentrate and yes – looking and feeling good.

Health eating is not just all about lettuce and lentils. Variety and balance is the key. The right mix of the five food groups –

            Bread, cereals, potatoes

            Fruit & vegetables

            Dairy products

            Fish, meat and alternatives

            Fat & sugars

And the right portions of these will give you all the essentials needed to survive student life.

Party Tricks . . .

q       Before you go out to a pub/club or party make sure to drink 2-3 glasses of water so you’re hydrated. If you arrive thirsty and you’re offered a chilled bottle of beer you’ll down it quickly.

q       Try and intersperse alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks.

q       Eat before you arrive so your blood sugar levels haven’t dipped.

q       At the party, stand away from the food – so your hands don’t stray!
