EAT THIS IF YOU'RE STUDYING FOR EXAMS

This is why you should start eating nuts before you study. A study found that adding walnuts to student’s diets ed to a 11% increase in verbal test performance. And a larger study found that nut intake increased performance on brain tests. This may be due to the vitamins E and zinc in nuts, which are essential for brain health.

This study aimed to determine the effect of walnuts on verbal and non-verbal reasoning, memory and mood. A total of 64 college students were randomly assigned to two treatment sequences in a crossover fashion: walnuts-placebo or placebo-walnuts. Baseline data were collected for non-verbal reasoning, verbal reasoning, memory and mood states. Data were collected again after 8 weeks of intervention. After 6 weeks of washout, the intervention groups followed the diets in reverse order. Data were collected once more at the end of the 8-week intervention period. No significant increases were detected for mood, non-verbal reasoning or memory on the walnut-supplemented diet. However, inferential verbal reasoning increased significantly by 11.2 %, indicating a medium effect size (P = 0.009; d = 0.567). So, in young, healthy, normal adults, walnuts do not appear to improve memory, mood or non-verbal reasoning abilities. However, walnuts may have the ability to increase inferential reasoning.

This was a correlational observational study so even though it may suggest nuts improve cognitive function, we cannot firmly conclude this due to the study design. It may be the case that those with naturally better cognitive performance like to eat nuts.

HEALTH WARNING: If you are allergic to nuts, then please don’t consume them.
And for those who are considering eating lots of nuts from now: there is no proven dose-effect relationship, so eating increasingly more nuts may not make you increasingly smarter or improve you exam grades; try eating nuts in moderation.

Hi, I've got a question. I'm currently studying : Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology for A Level. I'm doing Physics only for AS and was wondering if my Physics AS will be important when applying for Cambridge?

Or you could take a supplement of vit E and Zinc instead of nuts
