Good luck to all my amazing young patients tackling exams right now! π
A few health tips to help you perform at your best:
π΄Sleep is your superpower: Aim for 8-10 hours each night. Your brain consolidates memories while you sleep, so pulling all-nighters actually hurts your performance. Set a consistent bedtime, even during exam season.
π₯©Fuel your brain properly β Start each day with a balanced breakfast including protein, whole grains, and fruit. Keep healthy snacks like nuts, fruit, yogurt, or cheese nearby when studying. Stay hydrated with water throughout the day β dehydration affects concentration.
πͺMove your body: Take regular breaks to stretch, walk, or do some quick exercises. Even 10-15 minutes of movement between study sessions boosts focus and reduces stress. Physical activity is one of the best stress-relievers available.
π¨βπ©βπ§Talk about stress: It's normal to feel anxious about exams. Talk to your parents, teachers, or a trusted adult if you're feeling overwhelmed. There's no shame in asking for help.
You've got this! Believe in yourself as much as I believe in you. π
