TaMany schools have sent recipes to parents on what they need to feed the kids during exams. In the dos and don’ts list, schools have detailed the greens and blues (fluids) required to keep stress away.
Usha Mohan, an educationist and the principal of India International School, said, “We insist on plenty of fluids and a healthy breakfast. We have suggested nutritious meals with salads and sprouts. We have also asked students to stay away from junk, outside food, cold and oily stuff, and sweets.”
At the Green Wood High School, the management has come up with a new concept. Something, they say, if seriously followed, could help students wade through the exams. "We came up with the concept called DREAM - D (drink lots of water) which keeps your mind fresh and healthy; R (regular sleep); E (eat healthy food); A (attitude) for a positive attitude during exams; and M (meditation) like yoga that can give you peace of mind. It's very important to have the support of parents and have a positive atmosphere at home. Students must have at least 15 minutes of outdoor activity even during exams. It helps them exercise and relax their muscles. Though there is no particular timing for studies, the best time is before sunrise,” said Manas, an educationist and trustee of the high school.
Liquids help you to relax and be calm, while spicy and salty food can lead to sluggishness, he said.
“Green, leafy vegetables, fruits, salads and pulses should be encouraged during examinations to reduce the stress and strain.
But make sure not to overexert or strain. A short walk, a glass of water or just glancing through magazines can help you de-stress. One of the parents should keep an eye on the children during the exam time and restrict them from watching television,” Shenoy, vice-principal of Innisfree House School, said.
The doctors, however, didn't think much of a special diet. “One need not have a special diet during exams. All that running around is really not necessary. What students and parents must actually focus on is having regular food. Just skip the junk food," Dr Ramesh, district health officer, said.
