The 2019 10th grade entrance exam in Hanoi will take place on June 2 and 3. Today (January 1), the candidate went to the school to complete the procedures.
Nutritional regimen for children during the final stage, especially the day before the exam, is of great interest to parents.
Many families have the policy of "having a worship, it is sacred, and having a good diet". However, Doctor Do Thi Ngoc Diep 2 believes that the notions that eating bananas will cause banana peels to slide, or eating eggs with a score of 0, eating squash is not remembering the lesson, eating black beans is not lucky... from a nutritional perspective are all misconceptions.

Accordingly, bananas are a source of potassium, magnesium and fiber. Moreover, because they contain 25% of the sugar needed for the body to function, bananas are considered a very effective source of increased energy.
Thanks to that, eating bananas will help stabilize arterial pressure, reduce fatigue, and reduce the risk of anemia. Every day, supplement 1-2 bananas to provide more vitamins, minerals and serotonin to help buyers sleep well.
Dr. Ngoc Diep also said that the first foods that nourish the brain, enhance memory, and support nerve cell activities include cereals with seeds such as brown rice and beans. Then there are foods high in phosphorus and lipids, including eggs, meat, and fish. In addition, foods containing unsaturated fats such as omaga 3 and 6 such as fish, dairy or dairy products.
However, according to Dr. Ngoc Diep, the food is very diverse and the nutritional value of stools is according to each group. Therefore, during the competition days, if many families are still wondering about dieting according to folk beliefs, they can choose other foods with equivalent nutritional value.
If many families are not confident in letting their children eat eggs, they can replace the main dish with chicken.
In fact, there is a concept that during the rainy season, people should not eat beef because they are afraid of "going fast and slow like beef" so they should switch to eating chicken or fish. Fish has many very good substances such as omega 3, 6, 9 and has substances that form neurotransmitters.
Doctor Ngoc Diep also gave specific dietary advice throughout the exam. Accordingly, in the morning you can eat chicken pho or bun kim, bun bo or a package of sticky rice and beans.
At noon, the monk eating the rice as usual did not change compared to normal days. Meals include rice, meat or fish and vegetables. Parents should choose green vegetables and grains with sprouts. For example, mustard greens, Malabar spinach, Malabar spinach, water spinach, celery... These vegetables have antioxidants so they protect brain cells.
"During the exam, you must eat rice, or equivalent foods such as noodles, vermicelli, vermicelli, and rice paper. Because the metabolized sugars from grains will be slowly metabolized by the body and provide glucoconomic energy for the brain to function. If muscle cells and red blood cells are active, the exam will be effective. "You should not diet during the exam, you should eat all the substances" - Dr. Ngoc Diep recommends.
