Exams are tough and there’s no denying to this fact. What is tough is the stress that you go through. In fact, many students feel that the actual exam is not that scary in comparison to the night preceding it. Preparation for competitive entrance exams like NEET can be quite exhausting at times. To ensure a remarkable score, you need to dedicate quite a good portion of your day into it.
The stressful atmosphere during exam week is what causes students to let go of their personal health. They don’t watch what they eat or how many hours they sit without exercise. These bad habits can result in a more tired body and mind that is very necessary. In addition, these habits can extend into after-exam life, thereby generally lowering a student’s health. So, it’s important to divide your topics and give each of them sufficient time to get a better understanding.
Below are some health tips to avoid all these problems:
1. Get A proper Amount of Sleep
This is one of the most important things to consider. Sleep is usually the first thing to consider when students start their exam preparation. There are students who believe that studying all night and sleeping for few hours will certainly help them crack the exam. But this is not at all true. This is the very habit that can deteriorate your health.
Sleeping on time and waking early is the best way to go. Too little sleep can lead to a lot of ailments and illnesses. Headaches, colds, upset stomach and general anxiety are a few of them.
2. Drink Enough Water
Water is the most important thing for the human body. Keep a water bottle with you and try to drink as much water. Staying hydrated is a great way to ensure your energy and keep your skin look fresh throughout the day.
3. Eat Healthy
Studying for exams can cause students to let themselves skip on the fast food. Students usually keep candy, chips and chocolate in hand to munch on. While you can treat yourself with these things every once in a while, but too much unhealthy food can cause you to get tired quickly. Eating this food will not give you much brain power when you need it the most.
Instead of junk food, keep nuts, fruits and veggies in hand. These would not only refresh you but will also give you the boost you need both physically and mentally.
4. Exercise
Keep yourself engaged in exercises even during the exam time as this can make you stress free. You can shorten the time, but exercise is something that would actually get your blood pumping. This would make you feel healthier, reduce your stress level and help you stay active. You can also go for a swim or walk. These activities are way more refreshing and useful than using a TV show or a movie.
5. Take regular breaks
Studying involves sitting down continuously at one place and this is something that no one should do for an extended period of time. Make sure to get up after every hour and move around a bit. But after every hour, get up for a drink of water or to simply stretch.
Conclusion
Just because your exams have started it does not mean you get to put your health on hold. A deterioration in your health during this important time could adversely affect your studying and hence your grades. All it requires is a bit of extra effort since we are all used to letting ourselves go during exams. So, end up following these tips which will help you to score better in your Medical Exams.
