Here are some helpful tips for keeping stress at a minimum during your hectic final exams

Eat breakfast; skipping breakfast impedes memory. Memory boosting foods include: toast, eggs, yogurt, sardines, blueberries, lentils, fish oils*.

eXercise; 3 x 30 minutes minimum a week helps brain circulation and elevates mood.

Avoid overdosing on caffeine or stimulants; you need the best quality sleep.

Manage your time well, be organised, and don’t rush.

Stay focused, stay positive.

Try chewing gum; brain performance can increase by 35%*.

Relax; yoga, breathing*, stretching and meditation all reduce exam nerves.

Everyone is in the same boat; remember if it gets too hard there are people who can help (check Griffith Health Service)

Sleep; helps consolidate long term memory.
