A balanced diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains and low in sugar and processed fats is important for good health. The following foods are particularly useful for brain health:

• green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, broccoli
• fatty fish such as salmon and tuna
• berries
• tea and coffee
• walnuts

Don't go on some random spinach only diet, balance is important!

When you cram, the information you review does not move from your short term memory to your long term memory. The short term memory (as the name suggests) only stores information for a short time. It has been likened to a sticky note. Sticky notes are temporary things - they are fickle and often end up stuck to your sleeve or fall to the floor. You want to move this information to your your long term memory which I imagine is more like a set of encyclopaedias or the hard drive on your computer. This happens when you review the material in chunks on different days, rather than cramming it all in on one day.

Summer is on the way and we are constantly being reminded in the media to be 'beach body ready.' Girls and women across the country are restricting their calorie intake, and dashing to gyms and beauty salons to get their bodies ready for summer. Here is a newsflash - those girls in the swimsuit ads have been styled by a team of professionals and airbrushed to within an inch of their lives. What you see is not real. Real women have scars and birthmarks, stretch marks and cellulite, pimples and wrinkles. Don't wait to get the perfect beach body before you go to the beach - just go to the beach. Ashley Lytwyn, an eating disorder specialist said, "If you want to lose some fat, build muscle, and eat cleaner, that's great, but it's not a requirement for enjoying the warm weather and the waves."

To all the students sitting exams
To all the broken-hearted
To those facing mental health challenges
To the lonely and rejected
To the anxious and afraid
To those who are having family issues
To the sick and those who are just sick of life
To those who are facing their biggest challenges so far
To the tired and worn out
To those trying to keep their head above water
To the ones who cry themselves to sleep at night
To the ones desperately trying to maintain their perfect veneer
While underneath they are falling to pieces
To the ones who are self-medicating, self-loathing and self-harming
Hang in there - don't give up
The world needs you!
You're stronger than you think - you got this!
