Haha, not if they're blackBananas are pretty good to eat, they release energy slowly!
True, but bananas or any healthy eating before an exam increases your performance, anyways at the end, it depends on the individualWho cares? Knowing the material and getting a good night's sleep will do far more than a banana to help.
Read this, they're still waiting for the results: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/bananas-to-boost-exam-results-830013.htmlPretty sure you'll find it's a placebo effect.
I'd love to see an experiment where subjects are given an exam to do then all are given the same meal, 1/3 told it'll increase performance, 1/3 told it will decrease and 1/3 told nothing and then they have to do an exam again. Would put money on the hypothesis that performance will differ depending upon what they are told, despite having the same meal.
Doesn't control for placebo effect. Assumes poor results after first half hour due to nutrition, but there could be other reasons (harder questions, how do they know which part of exam done first?). Results unknown; given they weren't advertised, the results probably showed no effect - selection bias.Read this, they're still waiting for the results: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/bananas-to-boost-exam-results-830013.html
Edit : just noticed its in 2008, but that's an experiment!
Lol, my dad emphasised this to me everytime i wanted to study after dinner..some master chess player told me not to eat too big of a meal, otherwise too much of your blood supply is being used for digestion and not for maximum brain use. or something along those lines. lol.
