      For the most part, good advice to live by sticking to natural and whole foods. Fat is not the enemy, especially saturated fat. The brain functions best on ketones, not glucose, which coincides with a diet higher in fat and lower in carbs. A diet higher in fat will keep you satiated for much longer and much more even keel throughout a test taking session. I’m not sure why cholesterol continues to get such a bad rep as there is no research to claim it causes heart disease. Best wishes to all taking exams in December!
