<p>I'm having a hard time even though I do study a lot, it seems when we have to revisit older information I have to relearn it almost completely again. This makes me have to study for longer periods of time. I also sometimes have a hard time learning in lectures and I learn from repetition. repetition works for the short term though as I simply forget the info after about a week or after the quiz or exam it's on. </p>
<p>I noticed I have been living unhealthily, skipping out breakfast, and lunch only eating dinner and snacks at night. I am changing this. </p>
<p>I am going to be eating a lot more of the foods on this list.</p>

<p>I will also stop sleeping late. I want to be better but I don't have the tools, my brain needs help. any tips or advice is welcome and I'd like to hear from people who have noticed differences from changing their diets or health.</p>
<p>Eating more regularly will help; I feel gross and cranky when I don’t eat well. I also do better at taking notes if I’ve been fed.</p>
<p>That said, what you’re dealing with sounds like a lack of study skills or some weirder problem in general–your school will have an office to help you figure out what can help you prepare better/give more general advice if there is anything besides eating better that will help.</p>
<p>Another idea is to set SelfControl or a similar program to not let you access the internet after 12 am, say, to encourage you to go to bed.</p>
<p>You can also log into something like myfitnesspal that will track fats, carbs, protein, and other nutrients. That will get you to thinking about how balanced your diet is. Exercise also will help with energy levels.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that working out helps with cognitive process, so you might think about that. You could go on jogs and other activities. And, yes, you should go to bed early. That should help as well. Eating healthy itself won’t have a lot of beneficials. If you want to improve, you should eat healthy, work out and go to bed early; if you do, your cognitive functions should improve.</p>
<p>I notice that the better I eat, the better my concentration is- so yeah, my studies improve when I have a good diet.</p>
<p>Definitely healthy foods improve brain function and memory! Another thing I noticed was that when I started going to the gym every day, I was in a better mood and therefore more interested in learning rather than rushing to finish my work before the weekend.</p>

<p>Not true. If you are lacking critical vitamins and minerals it will certainly affect your physical and cognitive processes (which in turn affect critical thinking, memory/retention, energy and motivation to study, etc.). Eating a varied, healthy diet can help your body to use its energy more efficiently and improve focus and memory. </p>
<p>Exercise does help as well, and should always be included with a healthy diet. </p>
<p>Sleep patterns depend on your body’s need. Some people need to go to bed late and sleep in late; others need to go to bed early and get up early. Others need to take naps throughout the day to keep up their energy (although healthy eating and exercising may help this, as well).</p>
<p>I was feeling kinda crappy so made some changes for myself and did see a difference.</p>
<p>Eating some breakfast is a very good idea. I used to skip it and then wondered why i couldn’t concentrate later in the day. For me it was important to get some protein in the morning and avoid sugar and too much fat. If you have to get something from fast food, go for -an egg muffin instead of a biscuit(like at mcdonalds).</p>
<p>Keeping to a regular sleep schedule is also very helpful. Don’t try to start getting up early while you still stay up too late. If you stick to going to bed at a similar time as well as getting up at a similar time, you will feel better.</p>
<p>I added exercise to try and feel better, and it worked. I used to love to run but can’t do that anymore because it hurts my joints. But, anything that you do will make you feel better both mentally and physically. It did work for me.</p>
<p>I would recommend the eating changes that you are going to do be something gradual. If you change too much at once, you will probably get fed up with it and revert back to old habits.</p>
<p>My D noticed a HUGE difference when she stopped eating meat and ate more salads and grains .Her sleep improved and she had a lot more energy .It made a big difference for her .</p>
<p>Eating healthy is absolutely beneficial for academic work, exercise too and possibly even more so, but they complement each other so do both. The literature reinforces these paradigms to improve efficacy and I have noticed these associations in my one life.</p>
<p>That’s a great link. For months now, I’ve been cooking the same ■■■. Now, I actually have a clue on what to buy at the supermarket.</p>
<p>^^Meat made her tired? I thought protein helps with energy…</p>
