Best Foods for Studying
From campustalkblog.com
Eat for better studying
• Adding these ten foods to your diet is a simple and effective way
to supercharge your study sessions in your effort to get better
grades, but don’t stop there.
– Eating a balanced diet,
– staying hydrated and
– paying attention to your overall nutrition…
…is a great way to complement your study habits…
• By eating right, you’ll be more likely to remain alert, focused, and
energized while you study. So, if you really want to know how to
study properly and retain more information than ever before,
start feeding your body and your brain the foods they crave.
Fish
How can eating fish lead to better grades?
• The answer lies in the high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty
acids found in most fish.
• These fatty acids are essential to proper neural function.
• Most of our brain is made up of fatty tissue, so it makes sense
that eating fish and other foods high in fatty acids would help us
focus more and learn how to study more efficiently.
• According to several studies reported in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, eating fish regularly can also reduce your risk
of dementia as you get older, another indication of its impact on
brain health.
Nuts
Want to know how to study better? Go nuts!
• Like fish, many types of nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and
walnuts contain high levels of essential fatty acids that help your
brain to perform optimally.
• As an added benefit, nuts contain a good amount of iron and
also provide oxygen to the brain which increases your mental
alertness and ability to retain information.
• A minimum of one ounce of nuts per day is recommended for
optimal brain health.
• Since nuts are high in unsaturated fat (aka the “good” fat) and
calories, they make great sources of energy as well. Sounds like a
perfect recipe for better grades!
Whole Grains
• Eating lots of refined carbs like white bread and pasta is not
only bad for your physical health, but it also leads to
sleepiness, lethargy, and mental dullness.
• Luckily, whole grains tend to have the opposite effect and
can lead to enhanced memory function and even better
grades.
• Chow down on whole grain breads, crackers, and pasta
while you study for a quick energy boost.
Apples
• Apparently, an apple a day not only keeps the doctor away,
but can also help you improve your study habits and
academic performance as well.
• The peel of the apple includes a powerful antioxidant called
quercetin that enhances memory function.
• Combine your daily apple with a plan for how to study
effectively, and you can look forward to receiving better
grades on your next report card.
Cruciferous Vegetables
• In case you’re a bit rusty on your vocabulary, “cruciferous”
vegetables make up a family of vegetables including
broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and bok
choy.
• A long-term study conducted by Harvard Medical School
revealed that these type vegetables had the most positive
effect on memory retention, meaning they are the most
likely to help you achieve better grades.
• Eating these vegetables raw is the best way to get the
optimal nutritional benefit, since cooking them often cooks
out the nutrients your body and your brain need most.
Dark Chocolate
• Not just any variety will do, but a certain type of chocolate –
dark chocolate – can feed the brain, not only by improving
memory, but also by increasing blood flow to the brain,
increasing alertness and clarity.
• The darker the chocolate, the more benefits your brain will
receive.
Spinach
• Spinach definitely doesn’t top the list of popular vegetables,
but it does make the cut when it comes to foods proven to
boost brain power, and that could mean better grades for
you.
• Spinach is chock full of folic acid and has even been shown
to reverse memory loss.
• If you don’t like the taste of this dark green stuff, you can
always use it in a recipe such as a quiche or smoothie to
mask the flavor.
Berries
• Here’s a quick solution for the problem of how to study
better—pop a handful of colorful berries in your mouth as
you prepare for your next test or exam.
• Colorful berries such as blueberries, cherries, black
currants, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries,
gooseberries, and even grapes have significant health effects
directly related to brain function.
• Not only do these flavorful snacks reduce the level of toxins
in your bloodstream, but they also contain phytonutrients
and antioxidants that improve blood flow to the brain and
enhance neural activity as well.
Legumes
Think eating beans can’t possibly lead to better grades?
Think again.
• “Magic” beans such as chickpeas, kidney beans, and lentils
contain substantial amounts of protein which power the
brain and make studying a breeze.
• In addition, legumes of all varieties contain high
concentrations of folic acid which improves your ability to
recall information.
Onions
• In Eastern culture, onions have long been revered for their
ability to improve important brain functions like memory
and focus.
• Red onions in particular can help you achieve better grades,
especially when combined with a program that teaches you
how to study better using memory-boosting strategies.
• The compounds in onions, namely anthocyanin and
quercetin, have even been shown to prevent Alzheimer’s
disease.
