According to doctors, aerated drinks, fried chicken and potatoes, cheese and the like wreak havoc on the body and should be eschewed, especially in the exam season. The high sugar content affects concentration while the excess calories result in lethargy.
For Seema Jindal Jajodia, health food enthusiast and founder of Nourish Organics, a company that produces organic food products, processed or fast foods are a big no.
"Organic foods are known to carry 50 percent more nutrients, minerals and vitamins when compared to food produced through intensive farming. The situation is worse when it comes to fast food," she said.
"Fast food and processed foods should be avoided especially when students are preparing for their exams," Jajodia added.
