One of the worries I had was having to cook every day, even though I enjoy it very much. It just takes time and seems difficult to fit into your schedule. Especially, if you want to try healthy eating! Buying a frozen pizza and reheating it in the oven is a very tempting thing to do, but it&#8217;s not a very healthy way to live! I want to share with you some of my top tips for a healthy (and easy) diet to make the step to uni easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Have good, healthy bases for your meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a small trick which very easily can make your diet much healthier. Try swapping white bread for brown. Preferably, go with the one from a bakery not a supermarket as it will have less artificial preservatives. There are quite a few nice bakeries in York, my personal favourite is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebirdbakery.co.uk\/\">Bluebird Bakery<\/a> in the Shambles market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also get brown rice, pasta made from durum wheat or chickpeas, and (one of my favourites) buckwheat groats. They all make a tasty and healthy base for easy meals; just add to them some tomato sauce, fresh veg and voil\u00e0! A meal is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for cereal, if you enjoy eating them. You can swap them for oat flakes, quinoa flakes or white semolina. To make your cereal even healthier, add some nuts and fresh fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13164\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1-998x1024.jpg?resize=998%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A bowl of spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and black olives. \" class=\"wp-image-13164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1.jpg?resize=998%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 998w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1.jpg?resize=292%2C300&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1.jpg?resize=768%2C788&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1.jpg?resize=1498%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1498w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230204_162841-1.jpg?w=1674&amp;ssl=1 1674w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">White pesto pasta with cherry tomatoes and olives<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1005\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13163\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1-1005x1024.jpg?resize=1005%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A plate with boiled eggs, cucumber and spinach leaves, laid on a piece of toast. \" class=\"wp-image-13163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1.jpg?resize=1005%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1005w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1.jpg?resize=295%2C300&amp;ssl=1 295w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1.jpg?resize=768%2C782&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1.jpg?resize=1508%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1508w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230221_085508-1.jpg?w=1720&amp;ssl=1 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&nbsp;Rye bread sandwiches with tomato chutney, spinach and boiled egg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230114_174712-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"912\" data-id=\"13165\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230114_174712-2-1024x912.jpg?resize=1024%2C912&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A plate of salad and grains.

They have a lot of vitamins, fibre and also help to lower the glycaemic index of your meal (a measure of how much the food&nbsp;influences your blood sugar levels: the lower, the better). It\u2019s very easy, healthy and also makes your food look nice and colourful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you \u2013 like me \u2013 enjoy eating salads, try adding different cheeses, boiled eggs or falafels to them. <\/strong>They will have more calories and so will last you for longer. And remember, you do need some fats for vitamins A, D, E, K to be absorbed, so don\u2019t forget to sprinkle your veg with some olive oil! Fruits are a good thing as well and a nice alternative to sweets. However, they have more sugar than vegetables, so be careful with how much of them you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Be prepared with some healthy ready-made meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230310_113834-158.jpg?resize=381%2C308\" alt=\"A bowl of colourful salad with halloumi, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers and walnuts. \" class=\"wp-image-13162\" width=\"381\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230310_113834-158.jpg?w=1839&amp;ssl=1 1839w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230310_113834-158.jpg?resize=300%2C243&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230310_113834-158.jpg?resize=1024%2C830&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230310_113834-158.jpg?resize=768%2C623&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230310_113834-158.jpg?resize=1536%2C1245&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Halloumi Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s likely that sometimes likely that you won&#8217;t have the time \u2013 or energy \u2013 to cook, for example in exam periods or when you\u2019re sick. The best thing you can do to prepare for this situation is some batch cooking and freeze some of your own homemade meals. However, this isn&#8217;t always possible, and you may find yourself in the situation where you just need to buy ready meals. A good thing to do then is to look at the ingredients lists to choose the meals that don\u2019t have many artificial preservatives. My recommendation would be brands like <em>Suma<\/em> or <em>Free and Easy<\/em>. You can get their products in Nisa on camps, Co-op or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tullivers.co.uk\/\">Tullivers organic shop<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Limit the amount of sweets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230120_154313-130.jpg?resize=352%2C346\" alt=\"Betty's cakes: the cutest\" class=\"wp-image-13170\" width=\"352\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230120_154313-130.jpg?w=1496&amp;ssl=1 1496w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230120_154313-130.jpg?resize=300%2C296&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230120_154313-130.jpg?resize=1024%2C1009&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/20230120_154313-130.jpg?resize=768%2C757&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Betty&#8217;s cakes: the cutest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advice that can never be missing from any healthy tips list! I know it\u2019s quite obvious, but it\u2019s also quite difficult to stick to, especially if you\u2019re a sweet tooth like me. My top tip is to only eat sweets on the weekends. I don\u2019t buy any during the week, and also don\u2019t have any surplus in my room. This stops me from being tempted to \u2018eat just a bit\u2019  during the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, since I buy them only from time to time, I can afford fancier treats! For example, cakes from Betty\u2019s are not only delicious, but also so pretty that they recompense all of the breaks from sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Be careful with the drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that even a healthy juice or smoothie will have quite a lot of natural sugars. A tea or coffee with milk (especially sweetened) will have quite a bit of calories and sugar as well. Try to control their amount. The healthiest is always water, but herbal teas (such as peppermint) also work very well and \u2013 although they&#8217;re not everyone&#8217;s cup of tea (pun intended) \u2013 I think they are quite nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just a short list of tricks that you can implement to make your diet healthier. Feel free to pick just a few and give them a go. I hope they\u2019ll help you to figure out your own way to a healthy diet. Good luck with your culinary journey at the Uni! It\u2019s not as difficult as it seems, I promise \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/whats-uni-like\/settling-in\/\">Explore more student top tips for settling into life at university.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming to uni is a big \u2013 and slightly stressful \u2013 step.
