Hello again friends, are you getting stressed with midterms, assignments and final projects coming up? Well I know I am!
With my busy schedule of classes and my side job of answering to all of your cravings, I have been having a hard time trying to keep healthy and maintain the amount of protein that I need. After this busy weekend of hitting up the library everyday (well maybe a club one night as well with Abstentions handling my headache with supplying Advil and Gatorade) I do not always have the time to make meals throughout the day. Yes, if you were wondering I can make a mean dinner. If anyone is interested in a date, you know where to find me.
With not having the time, protein and energy bars are helping me through these stressful days. Protein bars are a very convenient method of giving you the vitamins and minerals that you need while giving you a snack that will make you full. Wherever I am running around that day I can easily eat a protein bar on the go, saving me time while providing me protein. Protein bars have a balanced diet of carbohydrates, protein and fat to keep your body and mind sharp during midterm season. Abstentions carries a great selection of protein bars, and other convenient snacks such as quinoa and power bars to answer to your cravings. If you want to do well on your midterms, you need to make sure you are getting the nutrients you need. During prolonged stressful times your body remains physically tense and mentally overactive, this can cause health problems that can effect your performance. Here are some tips to help you keep controlled levels of stress during midterms.
1. Be careful what you eat and drink! Abstentions offers many quick healthy options to increase your energy and keep you full during the day.
2. Get enough sleep and keep healthy! Abstentions sells teas and medicine such as cough drops to help you relax at night and get a good sleep.
3. Prepare and study a head of time! Find your study style and prepare early in advance for midterms. Even though many of us think we can crash the whole course material before the day of the exam we can’t! Stop by Abstentions and pick up some pens and paper, and plan a schedule of when you will study for each course.
4. Make time for some breaks! You need to make sure you give yourself a brain break from your work. Grab a friend and go for a walk to Abstentions to grab a snack!
The more fuel your brain gets, this will increase motivation and performance for your upcoming tests and assignments. So I say it is a ‘no brainer’ to check out Abstentions and stock up on healthy snacks right now!
