Lasuites Stop Asking For Where Retentive Memory is Sold! Eat Right!!
A study has shown that students do not eat well during the exam period. Personal reasons ranging from anxiety to mismanagement of time.

Currently there is question trend amongst the students of LASU which goes thus "where una dey see this retentive memory" "where una dey buy retentive memory".

Retentive memory actually is not far from our reach. Most students are ignorant of the fact that food can help them to better assimilate and remember things.

Examination is a test and evaluation on how well we understand and remember things we've been taught which requires students to read.

To do this we obviously have a brain that will be in charge of all the work. It's important to know that the brain is energy intensive and uses 20% of our bodies calories.Calories are gotten from the food we eat.

Using LASUITES as a case study an opinion poll was conducted;

"Sometimes I get carried away with reading, I felt weak at a point for not eating" - Joseph Gbadamosi 300lvl LASU

"If I don't eat before an exam or while reading, I won't be able to assimilate anything, I feel dizzy and have terrible stomach ache." - Fareedah 200lvl LASU

"Sometimes I feel weak when I don't eat before exams, but generally I don't eat before exams" - Quadri LASU

" It is painful when I don't eat before exams" - Eniola Banjoko 200lvl LASU

" It depends on the time of the exam, if it's in the morning, I won't eat, but after the exam the hunger may be massive, although I drink soft drinks" - Kareem Itunu Azeez 400lvl LASU.

However it is important to know that for the brain to function well there have to be calories on ground.

Irregular eating causes less than required to use and in some cases very minimal quantities which may lead to the complained dizziness, tiredness and slow comprehension.

It easier to relate to this in classes where you don't seem to understand what the lecturer is saying when you are very because if hunger. How much more when you skip meals to acquire full focus on reading, lack energy, and under presuure emotionally and physically.

It is important to note that sometimes it is not deliberately done but it can be avoided be proper preparation and management of time. Hunger is a distraction. Your output depends on your input(the food you take) and then produces more result(easy understanding )

There are some certain foods that improves memory. If you generally eat right, your memory and concentration would improve.

Food that improves blood flow to the brain( blood is the transport mechanism for the calories needed by the brain)
are those rich in Omega-3 oils such as fish, which helps improve blood flow to the brain and in turn helps in retaining as well as remembering what has been read.

Whole grains like Rice, Pasta and Bread will supplies the needed nutrients. Legumes which are rich in proteins such as peanuts and beans also go a long way in helping your memory, after all they are the major components of receptors and if we have more of them in the brain, it leads to better memory.

Being weak during exams, most times lead to poor performances, so it's an important decision to eat well and eat right to have enough strength.
Eating Well and Right is the channel to where Retentive Memories are being hidden.
Eat Right!!!
