Diet tips to deal with exam stress

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Don't skip breakfast

When you skip breakfast, you don't feed your body with the right kind of energy it needs for proper functioning. This causes fatigue and difficulty in concentration.

2

Eat Omega-3 rich meals

Omega-3 fatty acids improve brain health. Children should eat Omega-3-rich meals at least twice per week for boosting their concentration, memory retention, and speed.

3

Gut health supportive foods

During stress and anxiety, gut health goes for a toss. Eat foods or probiotics like curd, kimchi, kombucha, pickles, buttermilk, etc. for improved gut health.

4

Manage water intake

Parents should monitor their child's water intake during stress and anxiety as dehydration can cause tiredness and dizziness. Alternatives include coconut water, fruit juices, and green tea.

5

Limit caffeine, sugar, and processed foods

Stress can lead children to consume unhealthy foods and drinks, causing blood sugar spikes and sleep disruption. Stress-busting foods like fruits, nuts, and eggs are healthier alternatives.
