Spring break is long gone, Greek week is over, and now we are faced with the reality of 3 papers, 2 projects, and FINALS! In the midst of color coding our calender to study and complete projects; we can reach for these 3 foods for a little of a brain boost!
1. Caffeine.
While we don't encourage you to 'over do it,' caffeine can assist in helping us concentrate by giving us a little boost of energy. The effects of caffeine are short term, so perhaps having a cup of joe before an exam or before study hall will give you an extra boost of concentration!
OUR FAVORITE: Peppermint Cocoa. (Great for the dorm and apartment)
2. Fish.
Nemo is wonderful!!! Rich in omega-3; fish is our popular brain food!
OUR FAVORITE: Starkist vacuum sealed packets. (Doesn't leave a yucky smell in your room!)
3. Seeds and nuts!
Instead of chips, reach for a handful of nuts while studying. Rich in vitamin E, it is associated with cognitive function. A special treat - add dark chocolate to this!
OUR FAVORITE: Dark chocolate almond M and Ms. (okay, okay - don't hate us. But let's be honest, study hall and a vending machine. The tuna packets will not be selection B6; but dark chocolate almond M and Ms will be!
CLOSE RUNNER UP: Blue diamond almonds!
