Dr. Apovian has held a position at the forefront of the weight-management and nutrition field. Caroline gives us the best foods for test day, best foods for students w test anxiety, and what foods to definitely avoid. Some key takeaways include: Sleep 8 hours or more, otherwise you tend to gain weight. Eat some protein with each meal and get fruits and veggies in each day. Eat the whole egg! Fried foods and high sugar foods will make you sluggish after an hour. Need a quick burst of energy midway through a test? Eat a little piece of dark chocolate. Caffeine is dangerous to kids health, because kids need to sleep for optimal health.
