You\u2019re a busy student on the go, and tomorrow you have a major exam right around that time of day you typically feel a little hungry. What you need is a snack! But not just any snack. Although a large coffee or a sweet treat might give you a spike in energy, that\u2019s just the caffeine or the sugar talking. To perform at your very best, you need something that will crush hunger and give your brainpower a boost.<\/p>\n

\nStudies have shown that blueberries can improve thinking and memory skills, which is likely thanks to the flavonoids (a kind of antioxidant) they\u2019re packed with. So feel free to snack on a bowl of fresh berries.<\/p>\n
\nMake a habit of having hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go snack. Eggs not only give you hunger-crushing high-quality protein, they\u2019re also rich in choline, which enhances memory and learning.<\/p>\n
\nApples have a slow-digesting natural sugar that gives you an energy boost without the drop-off you\u2019d get with other sweet foods. Adding creamy almond butter gives you protein and vitamin E, both of which aid memory.<\/p>\n
\nNuts of all kinds are rich in vitamin E, which may help protect your brain against age-related decline. They\u2019re also a good source of hunger-crushing healthy fats. Whether you buy a pack in your caf\u00e9 or make a mix at home, keep an eye on portion size. Nuts are loaded with nutrients, but they\u2019re also high in calories. Aim for one ounce, which is about a small handful.<\/p>\n
\nMake your snack a fiesta, but without the chips. Tomato-rich salsa is a great source of lycopene, which plays a role in keeping your brain focused. Add carrots or pepper strips for crunch and an extra dose of vitamins.<\/p>\n
\nThe key benefit of whole grains is that they keep your energy level consistent. Pairing your crackers with low-fat cheese adds protein, as well as vitamin D, which is a crucial nutrient for brain health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
