 Examinations are just around the corner and it is that time of the year that children dread the most.  Usually,  it’s not the level of difficulty or the study material that makes a student collapse, but the pressure. Call it a parental pressure to excel in exams, the level of stress is quite high. However, several studies suggest that the level of stress and irritability depend on a student’s diet.


Breakfast 
To break the fast, begin your day with one glass milk along with Oats, Uttapam, Vegetable porridge, Muesli, Upma, Veg Idlis etc. These food items have a low glycemic index and provide the constant supply of glucose to our body. If nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews, hazelnut and more are a part of the breakfast, they help in boosting memory. Since breakfast is the most important meal, you can also opt for eggs, fish, carrots, pumpkins, green leafy veggies, seasonal fruits.

Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water as it boosts immunity and memory and also aids digestion. Always keep a water bottle handy with you and even carry one in the exam hall. Take small sips while writing your exam to boost energy level.

Caffeine cons
During exams try avoiding consumption of caffeine-enriched drinks like tea, coffee, and other energy drinks as they may lead to anxiety, nervousness, upset stomach, headaches, and insomnia. Remember health comes first.

Work the stress-out
Physical activity has a large potential to enhance our mood and health. Even a 10-20 minute workout session can increase mental alertness, energy, and bring about a positive mood. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety.
