- A healthy breakfast is vital when you're learning. Studies show that people who eat breakfast in the morning work faster and can concentrate better than people who skip breakfast.
- Just a small handful of pumpkin seeds a day is all you need to get your recommended daily amount of zinc, vital for enhancing memory and thinking skills.
- Using a probiotic yogurt will help to boost the levels of friendly bacteria in your body which can help strengthen your immune system and prevent digestive problems.
Tips
- Canned fruit is a great thing to keep in your store-cupboard - as well as adding it to your breakfast, it makes a healthy on-the-go snack on its own.
- You can replace canned prunes with ready-to-eat dried prunes which have been soaked overnight in a little apple juice or water.
- If you haven't got time to make homemade granola, try using sugar free muesli as a quick and easy brain hit.
