Southern Highlands – CSSC | Joint Exams | Form Two | 2021

The
stress caused by exams can result in students eating unhealthily – fast food,
snacks and caffeine can provide a false sense of energy. However, the food we
eat and drink can have a large effect on both our body and mind. A healthy diet
can improve our mood, our memory and our levels of concentration.

Healthy
carbs such as brown rice, pasta, whole grain bread and cereals will provide
necessary energy to allow students to keep working through the day. Oily fish
like salmon and sardines are great for the brain, heart and joints, as well as
increasing serotonin which makes us feel good! Other sources of Omega 3 such as
nuts and seeds are a great substitute for vegans. And of course, a variety of
fruits and vegetables will ensure that students have a balanced diet that will
improve memory, brainpower and mental agility.
