Breakfast is a very important meal – it can either make or break your day
As with all days of the year, eating breakfast has a significant effect on memory and learning, as Dr. Mohammad Hashemi, secretary of the Obesity Prevention Association, says. It runs throughout the day and improves the efficiency of the memory system. Also, the presence of protein in this meal, such as milk and cheese, can increase a person’s learning.

Dr. Morteza Safavi, Associate Professor of Clinical Nutrition and Vice Chancellor of the Faculty of Nutrition, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and CEO of Isfahan Health Town also says in this regard: Heavy and high-fat foods cause a feeling of heaviness and drowsiness in people. Nutritious breakfast and low volume like milk Honey and eggs, which are complete protein, can also be helpful. Eating fewer carbohydrates and increasing protein intake at breakfast helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and prevent fluctuations.

Avoiding the use of simple sugars such as sugar, sugar, jams, soft drinks, chocolate and تأثیر also has an effect on maintaining calm and concentration.

Dr. Safavi also emphasizes: Consumption of sweet foods due to fluctuations in blood sugar reduces concentration and learning in people.
Only sitting and studying is forbidden!
According to Dr. Hashemi, inactivity during exams can cause digestive problems, including constipation. The existence of these problems can create a new mental concern for the person and distract him and thus affect the learning of these people. For this reason, my strong advice to students and miners to prevent such problems these days is to include walking in their daily routine, and in addition, drink an appropriate amount of five to eight glasses of water daily, and fruit and Use fiber-rich vegetables throughout the day.
Do not keep yourself awake with coffee
One of the methods that most students and individuals use during exams to increase their level of consciousness is to consume coffee and caffeinated substances.
According to Dr. Hashemi, although consuming these substances in the short term increases the level of consciousness and reduces drowsiness, but continuous and long-term consumption of caffeine has the opposite effect, that is, after a while, not only does not reduce anxiety and stress, but also causes Increases irritability and gradually decreases the level of concentration.
Diet Reduction Exam Stress Night
Eating light meals, which provide the right amount of energy, is good for reducing stress and creating peace of mind. The CEO of Isfahan Health Town believes that consuming fresh fruits and vegetables is also useful for supplying vitamin C, the level of which fluctuates in stress. Omega-3 fortified foods such as fish and flaxseed can also be used to improve memory. B vitamins also have beneficial effects in this regard. Dairy consumption is also beneficial in reducing stress in children and individuals during exams.
The night before the exam…
It is important to avoid eating bulky and high-fat foods on exam nights. It is also best to have lunch two hours before the exam. Dinner should also be small, light and early.

Dinner should be eaten early. Dinner should also be light, as large amounts of food can make people feel tired and drowsy.

To have a good night’s sleep with peace of mind, it is better to drink a glass of milk before going to bed, because drinking milk will provide a significant amount of peace of mind.
