On a daily basis, we are bombarded with advertisements for “value” or “dollar menus,” many of which, quite frankly, do not offer the most nutritious food. With the economy struggling, it’s easy to see how some people might not eat as well.
That’s the common thought, anyway. Now may be a great time to help students learn that eating well does not have to cost a lot or be time-consuming.
A Cigna study suggests that many people are open to taking better care of their health during hard economic times. The healthier practices may help boost their energy and job performance, not to mention improving their overall mood.
Consider hosting events that show practical ways for students to keep healthy snacks on hand and methods for cooking on a budget with limited tools. Also emphasize the benefits of improving one’s health during these times, rather than allowing it to slide backward.

A Quick, Easy, Cheap Dinner Recipe (that does not skimp on your health)
I created this recipe during my hectic junior year! Note: You will have plenty of leftovers.
-Whole Wheat pasta (1 package)
-1 can of red sauce-I look for the one with the lowest amount of sodium
-1 bag of frozen veggies-your preference
Cook the pasta according to the package. Heat the red sauce with the frozen veggies until warm or hot. Serve with cheese.
*Make sure to store the pasta in a separate container from the sauce.
