Treat on fruits
Having a good amount of real food that is rich in Vitamin C, beta carotene, fibre and other minerals are a must. Oranges, apples, bananas and carrots are good bets. And remember to opt for the real fruit instead of the packaged juices or canned fruit variety. So make sure that you pick up a whole fruit while going to the library or tuition class for that marathon study session. Komal Verma, a Mumbai-based dietician says, “Having a good amount of fruits like apples, oranges and bananas help since they keep the student active. Oranges and Sweet limes are particularly good as they help you fight stress.”

Cut it short
A heavy meal is a complete no-no when you plan to study hard. Break your meals into five or six small meals so that the small meals regularly supply your body with the nutrients required and keep your blood sugar levels stable. Reetika Mittal, a young mother says that giving kids healthy snacks is beneficial during exams. “I give my children a lot of small yet healthy snacks. This could be a sandwich, idli, fruit salad or milk shakes. This keeps them energetic and charged up throughout the study schedule.” Some other good snack options are muesli, a brown bread sandwich, atta biscuits, gurhana (roasted chana eaten with jaggery) or a cup of yogurt.

Break your fast
Considering your body has been starving for food all night while you were asleep you need to get up, eat well and prepare for the demanding day ahead. Cereal, egg toast, fruit, chilas, poha, steamed idli, dosas and upma are healthy breakfast options. Verma further adds, “Avoid having anything deep fried in the mornings to avoid lethargy to set in. Milk and fresh fruit juices should also be included in the first meal of the day for better results.”
