What is the best thing to eat before/during an academic competition?

Question

I have a quiz bowl competition tomorrow, and we have to bring our own lunch, snacks, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew what the best thing to eat is, in order to stimulate thinking, help focusing, etc. Suggestions??

Answer 1

This is true I'm being honest here so you can try this. A PACKET OF RAISINS. Raisins can be eaten as snacks yet at the same time raisins can help stimulate your brain memories. Actually any sweet stuff would too but raisins were safer to eat rather than candies or chocolate. I hope you believe me.

Answer 2

Eat a good breakfeast to start off, I suggest McDonalds Egg Mac Muffin Meal with Orange Juice. After breakfeast drink a Red Bull. Then during the competition, chew some gum, that helps stimulate the brain.

Answer 3

For greater centred your not likely to devour very lots. the fewer the extra advantageous. Time your concentration instructions. ninety minutes of organic concentration then 30 minutes or doing something else. unquestionably taking a wreck. Then lower back to concentration. in case you purely choose a quick quantity of concentration, devour little or no and have a stable cup of coffee for the caffeine. No sugars or something heavy.
