Staying healthy during the exam season.

Home / Blogs Archive / Cassandra / Staying healthy during the exam season.

Achoo! Sound familiar? I’m sure for many of you getting sick during exam time has been a common occurrence. What could be worse for our immune systems than lack of sleep, poor eating habits, stress, and sometimes lack of exercise? Nothing! But, this doesn’t come without its consequences. Once the adrenalin rush of exams is over, my body finally realizes what condition it’s in and shuts down. I am usually out of commission for at least a week until I can finally get out and celebrate exams being over and by that time everyone is already back to school/work.

I thought to myself, my body can only take so much and maybe, just maybe, it’s time for me to start listening to my body and take better care of myself. I did some research and found some pretty simple solutions for my problems:

If you need more time to study, go to bed early and wake up early. Your body responds better in the morning.
Pre-make healthy food
Get your vitamin C
Laugh!
Give yourself a “real” break (having Facebook open while you study is not a real break).

See you all in the New Year!

Keep warm,

Cassandra
