Healthy Eating During Exams

The StartCooking blog has a great write up on 10 tips for healthy eating during exams. Since it’s about that time of year, it’s time that you evaluate your eating habits and ensure that you, too, are eating right.

Here’s what they suggest:

Meet your daily vitamin and mineral requirements: Sure, it’s tempting to eat and pile on that weight, but a clear mind is a mind that can study well with the proper foods.
Eat real food. The above may be true, but you need to eat real food. Your local GNC store should not be your one-stop-shop.
Eat regular meals. This goes without saying. Don’t eat at 2am just because you’re hungry. Force yourself to stay on a regular schedule.
Don’t eat large meals. Eat small well-balanced meals.
Breakfast rocks. Protein and calcium cut it. Coffee and snacks do not.
Eat your fruits. They have natural sugars and antioxidants that prevent against illness.
Dark vegetables are better. Veggies are also great, but the darker the color, the better they are for you.
Gotta snack? Do it Smart. If you must have a snack, eat the right foods.
Nourish yourself with fast and easy recipes. Don’t have time to cook? Just throw everything in a pan and make scrambled eggs.
Drink! Water is probably the best thing you can have.
