Proper brain food before an important day or appointment

Do you have an important exam coming up? Is your job interview fast approaching? Do you have a pitch to investors coming up? We're all familiar with situations where our brains need to perform at their best.

The good news: We can help our brains improve concentration and thus counteract nervousness to some extent. This article will tell you which foods you can rely on and what else you should keep in mind.

OUR BRAIN – A REAL BUNDLE OF ENERGY!

Especially during exams and important meetings, our brains are working at full speed, consuming massive amounts of energy. The brain can't store energy, so it constantly needs a supply of glucose. However, please don't think that chocolate and sweets are a panacea. While chocolate and glucose contain a very high sugar content, which spontaneously provides the brain with a lot of energy, this effect only lasts for a very short time. Studies show that after such a strong, short-term energy boost, concentration can plummet even further.

So, it's important to provide the brain with a good, consistent supply of glucose and nutrients over the long term by eating the right foods, keeping blood sugar levels stable, and thus creating optimal conditions for high cognitive performance. Learn how to do this best below.


HOW DO I EAT RIGHT NOW?

To keep our blood sugar levels constant, we should consume long-chain carbohydrates (especially those found in whole-grain products like oatmeal). Experts also recommend eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day to avoid the well-known "midday slump." And don't forget the classic nutritional tip: Drink plenty of fluids! Water promotes optimal blood flow to the brain, thus improving concentration. Two to three liters of water a day is recommended, although this also depends on body weight, stature, and body type.

Caffeine can also increase concentration and improve performance. At drinkbetter, we use a caffeine extract from the guarana bean in our drinkbetter enerxxy – numerous studies show that this caffeine maintains a high level of concentration for a significantly longer period than caffeine from coffee beans. Guarana is also claimed not to damage the stomach lining, making it gentler on our bodies and our health.

In addition to proper nutrition, drinkbetter enerxxy provides optimal support in situations where you need to perform at your best. Whether you're a manager, a mother, or a competitive athlete – with our high-performance drink, you'll have energy for six to eight hours.
