Exams are just around the corner for most of us students, and for some they have already arrived. Studying for our big tests can be hectic, especially when all your exams are crammed into 1 week rather than being spread out over the course of 2 or 3 weeks. A common mistake most students make during finals week is to eat poorly, leaning more toward junk food than healthy food. We tend to stick with chocolate and energy drinks to keep us awake and forget to have our important meals of the day. Unfortunately, what most of us don’t know is that these habits can be extremely harmful and can affect our performance during studying as well as during the actual exams.
Below are a few snacks with greater nutritional benefit to eat
during exam week that will help
you focus and keep your health
balanced during the most stressful and nerve-wracking week of your school year:
1. Oily Fish
“Salmons, Sardines and Mackerels are amongst the healthiest types of fish. Why? Because they contain lots of protein and omega 3, which is essential to keep a functioning brain working well.”
2. Eggs
“Fried, boiled, poached or made sunny-side up, eggs are healthy and good brain food. One egg contains many nutrients, antioxidants, 6g of protein and less than 100 calories.”
