Pediatrician Anzhela Velikodchenko spoke about what foods are recommended to eat during the preparation and passing of the final exams.
In addition to training the brain and preparing for the tasks themselves, the body of students needs healthy sleep, proper rest and nutrition. The nutrients coming from food will help the brain work better, as well as protect the nervous system from overstrain.
“When preparing for exams, you need to eat at least four times a day. Portions should remove hunger, but not oversaturate the child, ”advises the doctor.
Overeating will cause heaviness, desire to sleep, make the graduate feel “boiled”. Diversify your child’s diet with fish, beans, green vegetables, nuts, salads. Such food contains a lot of iron and zinc, which favorably affects the memory and nervous system, improves concentration, while maintaining satiety.
Dried fruits, yogurt, dark chocolate are perfect for a snack. The main thing is not to resort to energy drinks, this will aggravate the children’s nervous system, disrupt sleep and increase anxiety.
“You should not get carried away with sugar, sweets, cookies, and other foods high in simple carbohydrates, as they will give only a short-term energy boost to the body and the feeling of fatigue will come earlier,” the specialist noted.
Strong tea, cocoa and cola are best drunk in the morning, but not in the evening. Before the exam itself, for dinner, you can give preference to pasta, rice and a glass of milk with a small spoonful of honey for a good sleep. Plus, at night you can drink tea with mint and chamomile.
Let the child have enough water with him, talk to him and support him before the exam, instill confidence and make it clear that a lot depends on him, you need to try. Writes about it CITY48.
