STAYING HEALTHY AT UNIVERSITY

Starting university is an important stage in a young person’s life. It is also a time when they may be living on their own for the first time. Changes in routine, and being left to fend for themselves, can lead to unhealthy eating habits developing. If the individual also feels like their budget is pushed to the limit, they may not feel encouraged to buy healthy food.

Healthy eating is absolutely possible at university. The sooner you establish your new routine, the easier it will be to stick to. Not only is healthy eating achievable, it is easy! Food is fuel for our body and what we put into our body affects everything that we do. Studying and socialising are both easier if we feel better in ourselves.

Here are our top tips for staying healthy as a fresher!

TEN REASONS TO LOVE COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil is one of those truly versatile ingredients. It is an edible oil that is extracted from coconut flesh. We stock mostly cold-pressed coconut oil, which means the oil is extracted by squeezing freshly shredded coconut kernels and to produce a liquid. This liquid separates, leaving the pure oil on the surface which is then skimmed and stored.

Cold-pressing coconut oil means that it retains its natural goodness, meaning you get the full dose of nutrients! The oil can be used in lots of different ways. You can cook with it, add it to smoothies or take it as a supplement. You can also use it as a moisturiser and a hair conditioner!

Check out our ten reasons to love coconut oil!

TEN FACTS ABOUT CACAO POWDER

Raw cacao is more natural than cocoa. Regular cocoa is roasted, then put through a process called “alkalisation” (or “Dutching”) which changes its colour, flavour and acidity. We feel that this is unnecessary, and that raw cacao is much more delicious, as well as nutritious!

Here are ten facts that you may not have known about this super powder!
