Exam time is the most stressful period of the academic year, and for many deciding what they eat is less of a priority than hitting the revision books.

Revision time is precious for students, meaning nutrition often slides down the priority list. However, what you eat is as important as what you study, according to nutritionist Ruth Tongue, so the right nutrition from food can boost brainpower and prepare students for the mental marathon.

Nutritionist Ruth Tongue says: “Late nights and stress can play havoc on concentration and focus when cramming for exams, so it’s important to eat regular meals for basic brain fuel. A surprising amount of our favourite takeaway meals contain ingredients that can help boost brainpower and help aid learning at the same time.”

Check out Ruth’s guide to the best brain-boosting food and order your study fuel on Just Eat!

Eat meals rich in turmeric like Chicken Tikka Masala

Turmeric, the key spice in a Chicken Tikka Masala, is arguably one of the most powerful medicinal herbs on the planet. Studies have found that the compound curcumin in turmeric, could help increase the growth of brain cells by as much as 80%.

Get a boost with Fiorentina Pizza

Toppings on a Fiorentina pizza include folic acid-rich spinach and nutrient dense eggs.  Keeping folic acid levels high with dark green leafy veg such as spinach can help avoid mental sluggishness.  Similarly, olives, capers and anchovies found on a Napoletana pizza, contain high levels of polyphenols associated with increased cognitive function.

Whole grains and pulses like Indian Dal

The brain uses about 20% of the body’s total energy, so having a steady supply of energy will help boost concentration and focus. Whole-grains and pulses such as lentils have a low-GI, which help to stabilise blood sugar levels and provide a slow release of energy to the brain. Indian meals are packed with all the goodness of whole grain and pulses.

The importance of Egg Fried Rice

Eggs are one of the best protein-rich foods for improving memory, thanks to its yolk which contains essential nutrient choline.  A recent study by Boston University tracked the eating habits of nearly 1,400 healthy adults for 10 years and found that choline intake correlated positively with better performance on certain types of memory tests. Making the Egg Fried Rice dish a real brain performance optimiser.

Add Omega-3 to your diet with a Salmon Teriyaki

Salmon is an oily fish packed full of the brain-friendly omega-3 fatty acids known as DHA.  DHA is one of the main structural components of the brain and as such plays an essential role in learning and memory.  Studies have also shown that people with high levels of DHA are less likely to suffer from depression.  Salmon Teriyaki is packed full of Omega 3 fatty acids.

Get a lift with Falafel

The main ingredient found in falafels are chickpeas – not only are they a great source of protein and slow-releasing carbohydrates but they are also high in magnesium, which helps to speed up the rate at which messages are transmitted to the brain.

Chicken Burrito – with extra guacamole

Chicken is a source of the amino acid tryptophan which helps to produce serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin can improve learning, particularly when the brain is under stress such as at exam time. Guacamole, made using the humble avocado, is packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, which can increase blood flow around the body, including the brain, making the Chicken Burrito a learning feast.

Satay King Prawns

Prawns are a good source of protein, required by the brain to produce the neurotransmitters that transmit information to the brain – essential for revision. This is complimented by the satay sauce rich in peanuts, which are high in the brain-boosting antioxidant Vitamin E, crucial for neuronal health

UNCLE PETE’S

No, the owner isn’t called Pete. He’s actually called Aaron, but he chose to name his restaurant after his uncle from California. Started as a unique pizzeria, Uncle Pete’s has grown over the years into two separate restaurants; one in Pope’s Quay and the other on St. Paul’s Street. We have one thing to say that the two of them can boast: Best. Italian. Food. By. A. Non-Italian. Ever.

THE MEATBALL PLACE

It’s the invasion of the Italians, with the last, but certainly not least, new restaurant on our list: The Meatball Place. 8-9 Careys Lane is the location of this great restaurant that has worked really hard to make itself a favourite of students in Cork. With that in mind, you can really enjoy yourself here on a budget. Their “beer and balls” deal is absolutely delightful! You get a pint of beer and a hearty portion meatballs for only €10! Their burgers are great as well, with both regular and gourmet options, so there’s a bit of something for all budgets.

The 2017 Chinese or Lunar New Year celebrates the year of the chicken. Did you know that this New Year celebration isn’t just a part of Chinese culture but widely celebrated throughout Asia and India with a variety of celebrations? I have fortunately traveled throughout Thailand, Vietnam, India and Taiwan witnessing first-hand how food is embedded in Asian and Indian life and culture. The hustle and bustle of their food markets, the melting pots of street food vendors and the brilliant chaos of heaving tables of set dinner menus are a sight to behold. For this review I have then decided to showcase some of the forgotten Asian and Indian cuisines of the world.

• Indian

Indian food can sometimes be stereotyped with the likes of Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. However much of traditional Indian cuisine is rooted in vegetarian dishes cooked with gentle spices. Kerala Kitchen who have long been on the food market and festival trail in Ireland, now have their own premises which combines a takeaway and restaurant offering some sensational Indian dishes. I simply couldn’t choose from the menu so thankfully the option of a taster menu existed. The menu consists of four half main portions with rice and naan which included Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Nadan, Goan Prawn and Chana Saag- a wonderful mix of chickpeas and spinach.

• Thai

Thai food has become very popular over the last few years as more and more people travel there to explore the culture and enjoy one or two nights of Full Moon Party celebrations. Saba is my favourite Thai restaurant and takeaway in Dublin and the menu groans with fresh flavours. They have a large selection of curries, salads, noodle dishesand have even added a paleo menu. After much consideration I selected the Asian Super-food Salad filled with chargrilled chicken dressed in a citrus sauce and the Caveman Chicken Curry – think butternut squash, sweet potato, bok choy and broccoli in a red curry sauce.

• Japanese

Seafood and sushi are what comes to mind with Japanese cuisine. Aoki Sushi provides just that with their Aoki Sushi Selection of sushi nigiri, sushi maki and hosomaki. Fresh fish, delicate flavours and artistically rolled sushi is the result – perfect for sharing as a starter or main meal.

• Korean

Koreans are known for their love of pork, barbeques and kimchi. HaiLan Korean Restaurant offer all three and I chose to sample their Korean Spicy Pork Ribs – the ribs are steamed so might not to be everyone’s liking and the Kimchi Pancake – Korean style with kimchi and vegetables is similar to an omelette. Kimchi is simply fermented vegetables and linked to gut health and one of the most fashionable super foods at the moment.

• Nepalese

The cuisine of Sherpa’s is heavily influenced by Indian food so think rice, spice and plenty of coconut milk. Kathmandu Kitchen uses just those ingredients expertly well and I chose a lusciously creamy coriander infused Himalayan Chicken Curry, a lightly spiced Kauli Aloo of cauliflower and potato and Mo:Mo – Nepalese steamed dumplings stuffed with chicken and a ginger garlic paste. The curries and Aloo were the winners for me and I literally licked the bowl clean as the sauces are too delicious for words!!

• Vietnamese

As you may have seen from my first review, I love Vietnamese food. The combination of fresh ingredients and light and delicate flavours result in food not only good for your hunger but also your senses. Jolin’s Vietnamese Coffee House is my go-to for Vietnamese food in Dublin and this time I selected a traditional Beef Pho – perfect for a cold and wet evening after work or when you’re feeling a bit rundown and my favourite Prawn Fresh Summer Roll with possibly the most delicious peanut dipping sauce imaginable. Thank god for eating takeaways at home as again the sauce dish was licked clean!

• Chinese

As I said the focus of this review was on discovering and sampling other Asian cuisines and Indian cuisines but if you do fancy a Chinese. Ly Garden was crowned not only Best Chinese Takeaway but also Best Asian and Best Takeaway in Ireland at this year’s Just Eat Takeaway Awards so it must be good.
