Are you anxious about your exams? |
| Shails |
I feel very hungry during exams |
| Shails |
Why's that? I mean people feel very wierd in stomach. |

It is good that you feel hungry, but i hope you eat light foods, and not heavy, oily, or fried foods |
| Shails |
What is the proper diet during exams |
| Meenal
Sharma | light foods, like sandwiches, upma, poha, cornflakes,milk beverages, porridge, |
| Varsha |
I have read somewhere that no foods should be eaten 2 hours before the exam, is this true |
| Meenal
Sharma |
there is nothing like not eating for 2 hours before the exam, but light foods should be eaten |
| Meenal
Sharma |
And you should definately eat before the exam.. eg, veg sandwich, pohe, upma, plain dosa. |
| Meenal
Sharma |
These foods should not be heavy like milkshakes, burgers, oily foods, |
| Varsha |
But what about the majority blood going to the stomach than to the brain? Can it affect the perfromance during exam? |
| Meenal
Sharma |
Yes, if you have heavy foods, it would affect the performance because of sleep inducing effect |
| Meenal
Sharma |
Of heavy foods like those i mentioned earlier. light foods should be eaten as the brain needs energy to think and answer questions |
| Varsha |
