So my final examinations start tomorrow. 9.30am.
And me being the weird person I am looked up google on what's good to eat for brain power before sitting for a 3hour paper.
I keyed in "exam food" lol and read a couple of sites, most of them encouraging students who are going to sit for an exam to have porridge, whole grain cereals with milk (dairy, soy or rice milk), wholegrain toast, yoghurt, fresh fruit juice and milk as they contain fast acting carbohydrates, which slowly releases carbs and energy helping to maintain concentration and alertness throughout the morning.

I also read from a forum where people said bananas are good for sustaining energy.
Another one was to bring in a bottle of isotonic drink as its isotonic fluid is what keeps the brain active or something like that.
"Isotonic drinks contain glucose and this is the primary fuel of the brain. A steady supply of glucose has been associated with improved concentration and focus. Because these drinks are absorbed quickly then blood glucose levels are kept topped up. Ensure that you keep your water intake up too!" (http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/exam/day/food.htm).
So yeah I'm gonna try the isotonic drink thing. Luckily I have a bottle of Gatorade in the fridge lol. It does make sense, drinking an isotonic drink keeps you fresh and alert, right?
On the other hand, caffeine and high sugar foods should be avoided as it gives you a rush of energy for a short period of time, then leaving you rather dull and sluggish after. Nope, not suitable for a three hour paper.
Oh yes, and I've planned my breakfast for tomorrow morning already. lol. Eggs are in as well. I hope I don't end up eating so much that I have to go pass motion during the paper -____-
Okay what am I still doing online. All the best to the rest of you having finals ! Do your best, don't regret and rest well. I reckon your head needs it.
