Greetings, viewers! The
school year has begun again! Anyone who has ever studied for an exam overnight
understands how difficult it is on the brain. This is why you should eat items
that will help you concentrate.
In today's psychopills74
blog spot, we've compiled a list of things that every college student should
have in their refrigerator!
Are bananas a viable
alternative? What do you think about cherry tomatoes? We're discussing all of
this and more...
APPLES
Apples The adage
"one apple a day keeps the doctor away" is absolutely correct. This
amazing fruit is high in fibre and antioxidants, which decrease cholesterol and
help prevent heart disease.
Apples are a widely
consumed, high-potency source of phytochemicals, according to research, with
studies correlating their consumption to a lower risk of cancer, cardiovascular
disease, asthma, and diabetes.
Apples can be used in a
variety of baked items. They can also be eaten raw, dipped in peanut butter, or
added to pancakes. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two months.
They last a couple of weeks in the fridge.
You'll be relieved to
learn that an apple's phytochemicals are unaffected by storage. This is an
excellent on-the-go snack for a student.
What's your favourite way
to eat apples? When you're in a hurry, what fruit do you reach for first?

CHEESE
Cheese is rich in
calcium, phosphorus, protein, zinc and vitamins. These are especially good
for your body if they come from real meals rather than supplements.
Studies show that even
though cheese is high in saturated fat and sodium, the fermented form
is also rich in probiotics. You can enjoy a small amount of cheese with
your healthy diet.
You can eat it with
pasta, toast, salad, eggs, sandwiches, crackers, and whatever else you like. Hard
cheese like parmesan lasts three to six weeks in the refrigerator, and six
to eight months in the freezer. It’s one of those foods with a very long
shelf life.
You’ll be surprised to
know that cheese can provide multiple health benefits if consumed
as a replacement for processed meats, or eaten as a snack
instead of potato chips.
So instead
of sitting at your desk, shoving chips and candy in your mouth, give
a few slices of cheese a chance.
EGGS
Eggs are high in
heart-healthy lipids, as well as vitamins like lutein for the eyes, vitamin D
for the bones, and sulphur for the hair and nails. Eggs are also an excellent
cooking component.
They're delicious with
avocado toast, rice, and salad. They can also be left alone. Eggs are extremely
filling, according to studies.
They're a high-protein
snack that keeps you fuller for longer and helps you regulate your appetite.
This is perfect for any
college student who is tired of having a whole pizza to himself on a Saturday
night. In the refrigerator, eggs last about a week. Some may last a little
longer. Just make sure to verify the box's expiration date.
CHERRY TOMATOES
Sweet and delicious
cherry tomatoes provide a wide range of flavours to your dishes. Did you know
that tomatoes are the fourth most popular fresh vegetable and the most popular
canned vegetable in the United States?
Cherry tomatoes are high
in vitamins and minerals that are good for you. They're high in vitamin C,
which is necessary for a variety of biological activities. Cherry tomatoes are
high in fibre, which helps you feel fuller for longer and eat less throughout
the day.
One of the best foods for
college students is cherry tomatoes. They keep for a long time in the fridge
and have a sweet, crisp flavour.
Cherry tomatoes are also
high in antioxidants, which can aid in the prevention of prostate cancer.
They'll keep in the fridge for one to two weeks.
Consumption of tomatoes
on a regular basis has also been linked to a lower incidence of chronic
degenerative disorders.
GREEK YOGURT
Greek yoghurt is
different from other yoghurts, in case you didn't know. To remove the whey, it
goes through a straining procedure. Lactose, a natural sugar found in milk, is
present in this liquid.
Greek yoghurt is a great
source of calcium, protein, zinc, and gut-friendly bacteria, plus it doesn't
spoil easily. It also makes a great parfait with granola! This is a great
breakfast snack to enjoy before going to class.
Because Greek yoghurt is
high in protein, it keeps you feeling fuller for longer. People may eat less
throughout the day following a high-protein dinner, according to research.
Plain Greek yogurt is a
nutrient-packed snack with many health benefits. Plus, you can use it as a
healthy dip for crackers and chips.
Research suggests that
consuming probiotic yogurt is beneficial for your mental
health.
The study found that
workers who ate 100 grams of probiotic yogurt a day, or took a daily
capsule, experienced less stress, depression, and anxiety than those who
didn’t.
On average, Greek yogurt
can last up to two months in the freezer, and one to two weeks in the
fridge.
BANANAS
This is such a simple and
quick snack that it couldn't possibly be left off the list. Bananas are not
only tasty but also nutritious.
Potassium, vitamin C, and
vitamin B6 are all abundant in them. Bananas may aid in the reduction of
exercise-related muscle cramps and discomfort, which affect up to 95% of the
population.
Bananas provide good
nutrients before, during, and after exercise, according to studies. This fruit
goes well with peanut butter, jam, yoghurt, and cereal.
You can even make banana ice cream if you're confident in your culinary abilities. Bananas also contain ‘tryptophan,' an amino acid that may aid memory retention, learning ability, and mood regulation. Bananas are also fantastic for smoothies and may be kept in the fridge for two to nine days.
PEANUT
BUTTER
Peanut Butter Do you have
concerns regarding your dental hygiene while at school? Peanut butter, believe
it or not, can assist.
Peanut butter was created
in the 1800’s as a protein alternative for those with damaged teeth. Not
only that, but it's also high in potassium, protein, and fibre, making you feel
full.
It also has a lot of
heart-healthy fats in it. According to studies, adding peanuts or peanut butter
to foods like a bagel or a glass of juice helps to keep blood sugar levels
stable.
Peanut butter can be used
as a dip or a spread for sandwiches. The best part of eating peanut butter
is that it’s light on calories.
It’s also used as a
healthy alternative to baked goods and smoothies. When stored in the
fridge, peanut butter can last for about eight months. When out of the
fridge, it lasts for about four. Every college student should have a
jar of peanut butter in their cupboard!
MILK
Studies show that milk
and dairy products help you meet nutrient recommendations and may
protect against the most prevalent chronic diseases.
You may be on the tip of
adulthood, which means even though there are no bones growing in your
body, you can still lose bone mass.
Eating a diet high
in calcium and vitamin D is great for bone health. This is what milk
provides.
Milk also contains amino
acids that help moisturize the skin. If you want the perfect snack
while studying, milk’s great for dipping cookies, but I’m sure you already
knew this.
If you’re a student, a
very important tip when buying food is to buy in bulk whenever possible.
Get together with your
roommate and shop for products that come in large quantities for
cheaper rates. Let’s keep the conversation going with a couple more
food-related blog post.
