Eco-Takeouts now available at Drumlin Market

Eco-Takeouts are available now at Drumlin Market!

What is an "Eco-Takeout?"

It's a reusable, 100% BPA Free "to go" box. If you'd like one - they are available at the registers and for only $1.25 per container for students who'd care to use one. That's about 25% of the cost of the container.
Where are we implementing the program?

Right now Drumlin Market is our focus for eco-takeouts.

How does it work?
1. Buy an Eco-Takeout
2. Get your favorite food to go in the container
3. Bring back (clean or dirty)
4. Exchange for a clean Eco-Takeout at the register at Drumlin Market

Reduce Stress - Feel Good: Ready for Exams

Preparing for Exams means studying and eating right... here's a few tips:
  • Orange, Yellow, Red, and Green colored foods provide Vitamin A & C which will help enhance your mood.
  • Whole Grains and Legumes provide B-Vitamins which have a calming effect on the body helping you reduce your stress and anxiety.
  • All carbs can increase serotonin but for a steady supply of this feel good hormone it is best to choose complex carbohydrates which are digested more slowly. Some good choices include: whole grain breakfast cereals, pastas and bread, popcorn, bulgur and buckwheat. Complex Carbohydrates have been shown to increase the happy chemicals in the brain, which help enhance your mood.
  • The calcium found in milk can help relieve tension, reduce muscle spasms, and ease anxiety and mood swings linked to PMS. Go for skim or reduced fat milk.
  • Stress can cause you to over or under eat. Make sure you focus on getting balanced meals even if you are under a lot of pressure.
  • Another way to fight off stress is to get 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week. Aerobic exercise helps increase oxygen levels which can boost endorphins, the chemicals that make your feel happy.
  • Add fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel or walnuts, flax seed, or canola oil to your diet. Some studies show a link between low-levels of omega-3’s, a fat found in these foods, and increased depression.
