PLEASE AVOID

As students, you pay a lot of attention to the fine details of studying;
you do regular homework, practice sums and jot down every little thing that your teacher says.
But are you careful about what you eat?
Are you aware of how it can affect your routine?
Here's taking a quick look at foods that you should stay away from.
1. Colas and Sodas: The intake of these often starts as a one off but before you know it, you are drinking one glass a day. Sodas contain nothing but sugars, artificial sweetening and a lot of liquid gases, all of which contribute to hyperactivity, lack of attention and weight gain.

2. Fried Food: Fried foods may seem great for a snack break in between studies. But what you don't realize is that not only are these unhealthy since they're loaded with trans fats but research also shows that they tend to make us feel more at ease, lazy and lethargic. Not the best option if you've got a packed time table for school/college.

3. Meat: Notice how you always want to nap after a huge non-vegetarian meal? That's because meat takes a lot longer to digest and by nature, it falls into the heavier category. So you probably shouldn't expect to get any studying done after you've had a good non-veg lunch. Lesson to learn: Stay away from meat during exam time.

4. Coffee: Coffee may refresh you but the only reason for this is the chemical caffeine that it contains. Caffeine is an instant stimulant and a mood elevator, good for the short run but very hazardous for the long run. So, the next time you need a refreshing drink while studying, why not opt for some homemade lemonade instead?

5. Chocolate: Too much chocolate didn't do anyone any good. Most students often keep a chocolate or two handy to eat while they're studying.
What they don't understand is that, like coffee, chocolate too is a mood stimulant and having too much of it could make you way too restless while trying to concentrate.
