Exam preparations require lots of meticulous planning and adequate time management. The kind of food students eat during this time is also likely to pay an important role during this preparation. During exam preparation, a lot of students tend to rely on snacking on high calorie food, as a stress reliever. But instead of binging on unhealthy high calorie snacks, snacking on almonds during the preparation period can help make a healthy difference in students’ lives.
Ayurveda and Unani texts suggest that consumption of almonds nourishes the brain, nerve tissues and promotes intelligence, which can be useful during exam time.Leading Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan, Ritika Samaddar (Regional Head – Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi), Madhuri Ruia (Pilates Expert and Diet & Nutrition Consultant), Sheela Krishnaswamy (Nutrition and Wellness Consultant) and Fitness Expert and Celebrity Master Instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala said that almonds are known to provide energy, and which makes them a good snack to keep handy. They recommended parents to keep a handful of raw, roasted or flavoured almonds in a small tiffin box nearby, to make sure their children can snack on them in between exam preparations.
