Dr Geeta Buryok, Head-
Dietician, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh shares these crucial
tips to keep the kids healthy and deal with hunger cravings this exam season.
1. Eat healthy meals: Your brain needs energy to work
efficiently and for this you must have balanced diet with in between healthy
snacks. The meals should contain foods which lead to mental alertness. These include
foods like milk and milk products, sprouts, tofu, eggs, chicken, fish, healthy
nuts in combination with healthy cereals like dalia, oats, quinoa, and whole
wheat products.
Brain boosting foods
include foods that improve memory and concentration like almond walnuts, fish,
flaxseeds, banana, chick pea, spinach, broccoli etc. Avoid junk foods as they
require added time and energy to digest.
2. Keep yourself hydrated: Drink healthy beverages like
milkshakes, fresh soups, lemonade, lassi, coconut water instead of aerated
beverages. One or two cups of coffee or tea or dark chocolate can also be added
in the diet as caffeine makes you alert and active, but avoid excess of it.
Have at least 8-10 glasses of water per day.
3. Snack smartly: Eat healthy snacks in between
meals like protein bars, fresh fruits, peanuts, makhana and roasted chana etc.
specially when you are studying till late at night.
4. Sleep is important: Good sleep is as good for your brain
as food for body. Lack of sleep can interfere with learning ability, cause mood
swings and compromise your immune system. Sleep for at least eight hours.
5. Detox from electronic devices: Avoid engaging in too many electronic
devices and take out an hour everyday for some recreational activity to keep
you happy and motivated.
