BrainDiet: What to eat during your preparation

BrainDiet: What to eat during your preparation Visit our new website https://jrfpsychology.com/ As a society, we are comfortable with the idea that we feed our bodies, and much less aware that we’re feeding our brains too. Everything in the brain that isn’t made by the brain itself is ‘imported’ from the food we eat. Below is a list of foods that have been scientifically proven to improve cognitive health.

But it took until 2010 before dozens of plant foods were tested—all the way down to rutabagas. They found nearly all plant foods associated with better cognitive performance.

HOW UGC NTA SETS THE PAPER FACTS OR CONCEPTS? Visit our new website https://jrfpsychology.com/  Many students are texting me and asking if they should clear their concepts only and not focus on facts and figures or should they just cover the facts and not pay much attention to the conceptual clarity.

How to Prepare Notes

Note Making is an art and you need to learn it to simplify your preparation. Below I will discuss how to prepare notes. Notes reduce the size of our books and turn them into compact pieces of paper. I had Prepared the entire Psychology notes in 300 pages only. That’s how compact you got to make them.

While preparing notes you have to use your intuition and your personal experiences. For example, while reading Mazurs Learning Book, I came across the topic of Food Aversion Learning (Which ...
