In some of the previous blogs, we have discussed recipes and ideas for simple, nutritious foods. But, what is it that is so good about these foods? Many elite bodybuilders, athletes and fitness models preach that their bodies are made approximately "20% in the gym and 80% in the kitchen", meaning that the nutrition in the foods they eat is the main reason for their success and athletic body. These "healthy foods" we talk about are considered "healthy" due to the components of the nutrients within them. Foods that are high in protein are good for muscle repair and development.

If people had a healthy diet by eating 5 veggies and two fruits a day than they should have a well nourished body. But unfortunately that is not the case as most people don't abide by this. Most vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients for the body and are mostly acquired from fruits and veggies. This is where multivitamins can be used as an alternative as they contain a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals that may help our body of lacking nutrients. The need for vitamins may change due to factors such as age, gender, diet and overall health and other factors. Tharshan Nanthakumar 44632037

Have you ever heard the saying "you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with"? Well, this is 100% true and if those 5 people are influential academically, mentally, physically and with their general attitude and outlook on life, this can be extremely beneficial to living a healthy, happy and su ccessful life. Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.This relates to the law of averages, which is the theory that the result of any given situation will be the average of all outcomes. When it comes to relationships, we are greatly influenced, whether we like it or not, by those closest to us. It affects our way of thinking, our self-esteem, and our decisions.

When it comes to maintaining a healthy life style both physically and mentally, one of the most important components of remaining stress free and sane is having a hobby. The English dictionary defines the word "hobby" as "an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure". At any point in your life, especially as a uni student, heavy levels of stress can build up in extremely short periods of time. For example when you're 2 weeks out from your final exam block and realise you're behind on 4 lecture for 4 different subjects and additionally may be having relationship issues or family issues etc. Whilst working on these issues, alongside physical exercise and eating well, a hobby which you love and enjoy must be done to clear the mind, relax and prevent yourself from a mental breakdown. Clearing your mind and allowing yourself to think clearly and stop worrying for even as little as 10 minutes can be the difference between your approach to a si...
