5 conseils naturels pour réussir ses examens de fin année

5 natural tips for passing your end-of-year exams

It's almost summer! 🌞


But before the holidays, there is one more step to take for the youngest among us: the end-of-year exams!

So we've put together a small selection to help you maximize your chances! Take a look at our tips to maximize your chances!

Food

The basis, for maximum physical vitality but also for mental energy of course!

During this period, we will be winners by increasing the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables which are full of essential elements (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.). It's a good thing, they are present in abundance during this season. We add them generously to our plates: in raw vegetables, smoothies, homemade juices, or even cooked at low temperatures to preserve their qualities.

It's also best to cut down on "fake foods": industrial sugar, coffee, and energy drinks, which are depleting in the long run. Infused waters (with lemon, ginger, mint leaves, etc.), chia fresca (water + chia seeds + lemon slices), coconut water, kombuchas, and fruit kefirs will replace them advantageously.

As for sugars, essential for the brain, why not choose natural ones from honey, dehydrated fruits (dates, figs, dried apricots, easy to take with you, etc.), fresh fruits, etc.

Also think about omega 3, by adding good cold-pressed oils to your plate every day. Ultra beneficial for the brain, we are spoiled for choice: rapeseed oil, flax, camelina, hemp, walnuts...

The importance of sleep

A factor in overall regeneration, good sleep plays a key role. It gives clear ideas, promotes memory, calmness, and provides maximum energy for the entire day. However, exam time can be associated with disturbed nights. Ideally, we should allow ourselves a moment of relaxation in the evening, which is not always easy in our hyperactive lives. Also, to facilitate falling asleep, we can help ourselves with a dose of melatonin at bedtime, which has the advantage of being able to be used punctually and its action is fast. For those who prefer plants: valerian, passionflower, escholzia, lemon balm, are traditional plants to improve the quality of sleep but at the same time, they also act on anxiety!


Plants for relaxation

And precisely regarding stress, which can reduce our performance, there are also many solutions available to us. A must-have: the Bach Flower Emergency elixir, which tempers excessive emotions, helps us let go, and manage stage fright. Always have it with you because you can use it just before an exam, an oral exam, or as soon as you feel tense. It's also a good time to take a magnesium cure, which will have a global and profound effect on energy and nervous balance. Finally, consider saffron or griffonia, plants that are increasingly in demand because they induce true relaxation and overall well-being.

A word of advice : don't start taking a relaxing or sedative herbal remedy the day before a test. Since we all have different sensitivities, it's best to assess their effects beforehand for optimal success!


Plants of attention

Let's also not forget plants that promote concentration and mental performance. Rhodiola ticks a lot of boxes in this regard, as this adaptogen helps fight fatigue, reduce stress, and increase cognitive abilities! Another well-known plant for memory is gingko, which acts on cerebral circulation. It is often found in combination with other plants such as bacopa, which improves attention.


Breaks in nature

Finally, take revitalizing breaks in nature, in a park. Mindfully look at the trees, the greenery, the sky... Natural colors are incredibly soothing for the eyes strained by screens, neon lights, reading... Don't hesitate to also do exercise, breathing exercises, which oxygenate the head to better leave with clear ideas, a calm and remotivated mind!
