Nutrition

Students at University often find that they have a hard time following recommended healthy eating guidelines for many reasons. For example, many students are busy with assignments and exams, they have little money to purchase healthy foods and maybe they have never learned to cook for themselves. "You are what you eat" as they say, and if you are fuelling your body with convenience foods that are high in fat and calories rather than with fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein, healthy fats and milk products, your body and brain will suffer.

Students need adequate vitamins and minerals to keep their brains working properly, which we all know is vital to success at school. This website will provide you with informative links that will help you make healthier and more nutritious food choices.
