Need help studying for finals? These 4 easy nutrition tips will help you have the brain food necessary to study and do well on tests!
1. Eat Breakfast- Get plenty of energy boosting carbohydrates. Brain power drains glucose (from carbs). Complex carbs like whole grain breads will stick around longer than sugary cereals like Froot Loops.
2. Include Plenty of Healthy Fats- Omega 3 fats from salmon, walnuts and flax seeds. Intellectual performance requires this specific type of fat. Smart thinking!
3. Eat Eggs (yes, the whole egg)- Eggs contain choline (a B vitamin) that has been shown to boost alertness, memory and stress resistance by supplying important precursors of brain neurotransmitters. They travel well hardboiled!
4. Don’t Diet- Restricting calories during finals is not the best approach to increasing brain energy. Make sure to eat three meals and 2-3 snacks every day for brain boosting power!
