The Exam Diet

OK this is not one of those Diet's where you can lose weight or anything but it may just give you the slightest edge in your exam. Giving your brain food that will help it to concentrate in your exam may only be the difference between a couple of marks, but I've seen students lose a grade over such a thing! In fact, it's so important some colleges such as this one give out some free brain food before their exams to help students to do well!

So what are these miracle foods?! Banana, Water and Mints.

So let me explain:

• The water keeps you hydrated and able to think properly.
• The banana releases energy slowly over a long period of time. The are also a great source of Potassium (which has been linked to increased brain power), Vitamin B and Fiber.
• The peppermints help clear your nasal passages. However, don't have too many or you will get too much sugar! I would advise perhaps eating the odd one whilst you study then having one during your exam too. It might sound strange, but you can associate the mint with what you are trying to remember. When you taste/smell it in the exam it could help you to re-call it.
