StudentZona - Caring For A Better Student Life And Learning

We spoke about how to have a healthy diet on a low budget last week. Now you can find some good recipes here that are nourishing, tasty, and cheap. In addition you will find some good tips here on basic stock ingredients to fill your cupboard.

You are unlikely to have a lot of time to spend on cooking so these recipes are all simple and fast. Another time saver is stocking up your cupboards with those ingredients that are the basis of your diet. So look at this first. If you can shop once a month you will not only save time but also money as larger quantities are mostly cheaper. Make sure you have a good amount of rice, lentils, cous-cous, fine oats, potatoes, apples, raisins, milk, juice, oil and vinegar. Herbs and spices are a must for a well seasoned cuisine. On a weekly basis you can buy your fruit and vegetables and the occasional cut of meat or fish. I am assuming you have a fridge for perishable goods. Cheese and tofu can also be bought on a weekly basis.

If this becomes a habit with little consideration for what is actually being put into the body then at some point soon performance will be affected. Mind and body are not separate entities but here I will look at the specific needs of the brain. After all, it is the vehicle of your intellect and this is your primary tool for studying.
