Eat some protein with each meal and get fruits and veggies in each day.

Fried foods and high sugar foods will make you sluggish after an hour.

Need a quick burst of energy midway through a test? Eat a little piece of dark chocolate.

Caffeine is dangerous to kids health, because kids need to sleep for optimal health.
