Dear Pooja,
Are health foods really healthy? Should I be snacking on soya based foods and protein bars, or having energy drinks regularly? I’m a 21-year-old college student.

 

In ‘moderation’ ALL foods are healthy. Absolutely no food is bad for you ever. Just the frequency of consumption of different foods should vary. Being a college student that stays away from home anywhere from 4 to 8hrs, portable, healthy snacks is a good option. Soya sticks, khakras, crackers could be consumed. Protein bars are also a good option for a quick, easy to carry, hygienic snack, but do read the labels cause many of them are high in sugar content too. Moderate amounts of energy drinks could be consumed occasionally but please to do reply on these to attain energy all the time. These provide energy through caffeine bursts, which is only temporary and later will result in complete drop of energy. Small frequent meals are best ever ‘energy’ battery that your body can healthfully sustain on always!
