5 best delicious brain foods to eat during exam week

Avocados:

Avocados are some of the best brain food. They contain multiple important vitamins that help the brain. Vitamin K and folate, which are in the avocado, helps with memorizing and focusing. Exam week is hard and we can lose focus easily, so this might just be the answer. Vitamin B and C, also in the fruit, help with energy and need to be replenished daily. You can add the fruit to most things such as a bagel, smoothie, grilled cheese, toast, and ahttps://draxe.com/15-brain-foods-to-boost-focus-and-memory/ salad.

Dark chocolate:

We all need and love chocolate, especially during exam week when we are working into the late hours of the night. Dark chocolate has the ability to be good for you as it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory parts to it. The lack of sleep exam week create can cause sickness and dark chocolate can help combat that. How can you argue when someone says eating chocolate is good for you?https://draxe.com/15-brain-foods-to-boost-focus-and-memory/

Egg yolks:

People have been told for years now that egg yolks are not good, but in truth they are. The yolk causes a breakdown of bethane in the brain creating hormones that directly correlate to happiness. So when your stressed and just feel like it’s you versus the exam, eat eggs and it will make you happier. This will allow you to study in a more productive way. So eat the breakfast you don’t think you have time for, it will help you in the longhttps://draxe.com/15-brain-foods-to-boost-focus-and-memory/ run.

Broccoli:

Growing up we were always told to eat our broccoli and that it is healthy for us. As much as we hate to say your right to your parents, they were correct. Broccoli contains high levels of vitamin K and choline, both which help with memory. It also makes you feel full quicker because one cup is 150 percent of the daily intake you need of vitamin C. I know most people don’t eat it plain but you can easily mix it in with food and it will only make the meal more delicious. You can even add it to soup and make creamy broccoli soup to eat on a cold winter https://draxe.com/15-brain-foods-to-boost-focus-and-memory/day.

Exercise:

It may not be a food you eat, but it food for the brain. Working out, even just for a short period of time, releases endorphins. These make you feel better mentally and physically. There are many options for working out. If you like high intensity, go for a run. If your into a more slow relaxed pace, take a yoga class. Each person has their own way of exercise and yours may be as easy as just going for a walk while on a study break. It’s important to get a break, get some fresh air, and to stay active during such a stressful time. Working out helps improve cognative functions as well letting us process things.http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/10-foods-boost-your-brainpowerbetter.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.
