Brain boost: The ten best foods to get your brain into first mode and keep you smiling through your exams
10 . Coffee
You already know that cutting down on sugary stuff, fatty stuff and alcohol will give you a big brain boost, right? Good.
Softening the blow of losing out on these delights is the news that coffee can be a positive thing in getting the most out of that big spongey grey walnut in your skull.
Recent studies have shown regular coffee consumption to reduce the risk of mental decline and diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's. The coffee bean is rich with antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals - all great stuff for the brain.
Obviously a double-mocha-whoppa-frappy-nappy-ccino with all the accompanying sugar and fat would totally destroy the benefits of the pure bean - so an espresso or americano is best. Likewise drinking so much that you're twitching like a bunny on a hot plate isn't going to be helpful for studying either. People have vastly different thresholds with coffee and it doesn't agree with some people at all - so just use your judgement.
