If you, like many young people to take time of exams, it's time to think about what you eat during this period, if there is food in your diet, you need to stimulate the brain.
After your meal can really affect the way you prove yourself in the exam.The right foods help to better focus, better let you sleep at night and reduce the level of concern.So eat right!
What foods are good before exams?
almost everything.The brain "works" on energy from digested food.The main energy source - glucose, which the body gets from foods rich in carbohydrates - breakfast cereals, bread, pasta.Energy is stored in the brain is very small portions, so they need to constantly replenish the glucose to the brain working at full power.Therefore, while preparing for the exams it is very important to postpone the diet and eat correctly and useful.
Refreshments and snacks
Avoid sugar, chocolate, candy, cookies and other foods with high sugar content.Maybe at first they will give you an energy boost, but this is very short-term boost and you'll feel even more tired than before.
Limit the number of chips - even though they have no sugar, because of their high fat content, the stomach because of nerves would be difficult to digest them.If
doing, you feel that you can not do without a snack, go away in the next room and take the normal break to relax and nourish the brain.
Try:
fresh fruit or dried fruit
sandwich
bowl of soup
piece of cheese
unsalted nuts
yogurt
just made milkshake
Drinks to help
Do not forget to drink often!Studies have shown that people who drink more water, better focused, easier to digest new information and less likely to suffer from headaches.When engaged, keep on the table a bottle or jug of water and plain water if you do not like it, spread a small amount of fruit concentrate.
drinks with high sugar content should be avoided because of their energy level drops immediately after you drink them.
Drink plenty of water a day before the exam, but it is desirable long that the water has completely passed through the body, and you do not have to hold the exam in the toilet.
not accustom themselves to caffeine (tea, coffee or cola) doing the night;because of the caffeine the next day you are likely to feel tired and be very nervous.
Anti-stress
Do not try to learn while you dine or snack - take away food separate time and you will feel much better and fresher, returning to textbooks.
not use caffeine pills - because of them you will increase the level of excitement, and you can not sleep.
Remember that even during exams, it is important to play sports, and chat, at least in more moderate amounts, it's all good reduces stress.
During cramming
generally preparing for exams are divided into those who completely forgets about the food, and those who are convinced that any boring book becomes more interesting accompanied by something delicious.Not right then neither one nor the other.Hunger burnout occurs much faster, and leads to overeating, the body spends all forces on digestion, rather than assimilate information.
Eat while preparing for exams nutritionists recommend at least four times a day, but the portions need only satisfy hunger, not sate.
on the table must be saltwater fish and beans (it contains zinc, improves memory), iron-rich dried fruit, green vegetables and low-fat meat will improve concentration.Vitamin C contained in citrus fruits, cabbage and tomatoes, will help overcome the stress.A calcium, which are rich in dairy products, ensure the normal functioning of the nervous system.
struggle with hunger pangs between meals are best with small pieces of dark chocolate, nuts and fruit.But chew on in the learning process is not recommended: the lines read "absorb" with food and forgotten in ten minutes.
night before the exam
Starch products - pasta, rice, potatoes and bread fit perfectly and help sleep.
glass of milk - hot or cold - also helps you sleep.Some people think that milk contains the amino acid l-Tryptophan, which lulls.Avoid coffee, tea and cola, as they will not let you sleep.
Responsible
breakfast in the morning before the examination eat something high in protein and fiber, eggs, beans or mushrooms on toast, toast with honey or oatmeal, muesli.But if you are too nervous to eat a lot, eat a couple bananas, raisins or fruit milkshake that will support you in the exam.
Good luck on exams!
