These couple of months can be really quite stressful with the run up to exams and assignment deadlines, but it's also the run up to, in my opinion, the BEST time of the year.. SUMMER! So during this time you may find yourself wanting to be even more fit and healthy so that you feel great in your bikini on the beach (or shorts for any boys out there...)
So anyway... The first thing I'm going to post about is something that I know a lot of people already do but I personally find it such a good way to stay healthy and that's to make sure you have a large supply of food that you have prepared so that you can just pop it in a tuppawear and take it to the library to avoid buying any of the processed rubbish they might sell in there or nearby. Or even if you're revising at home it can be a real time saver so that you can spend your revision break relaxing and enjoying your delicious food.
The other day I roasted an array of my favourite vegetables - butternut squash, peppers, sweet potatoes, beetroot and carrots - with a little drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning. I then cooked up a big batch of grains to have with them (quinoa, brown rice, bulgar wheat, whatever takes your fancy). And then I made lots of paprika hummus (literally one of my favourite foods ever and this homemade version is, if I may say so myself, much tastier than shop bought versions and by making it yourself you know that no nasty chemicals or added sugars are hidden in it). I'll put a recipe up for that soon!
Having healthy food available so you can make quick and easy but still fabulously nutritious meals is really handy in busy times. So keep filling yourself with goodness - it can be just as convenient as buying a quick bag of crisps and your body will be much more thankful for it.
Happy revising..... xx
