Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Whether it's more yin or yang foods you need, I'd emphasize those with more protein in the first part of the day & those with more carbohydrates before bed. I don't know much about TCM nutrition-food therapy yet but I find with myself, that protein during the first part of the day helps keep me alert & carbohydrates as the last meal of the day helps me sleep better. Of course, I don't mean straight protein or straight carbohydrate - just the main balance of the meal. I find that this can still be done using TCM ideas of balancing meals. Make sure you get *plenty* of sleep - even a little more than you would normally. Without enough sleep, no amount of extras will help newly learned information reach long term storage in memory. Sleep is essential & if you're feeling stressed, the need for sleep increases. If you're having difficulty sleeping deeply or relaxing enough, take some extra time to meditate & centre your thoughts. It should help your memory, help you relax (stress really plays havoc with keeping new memories intact), & help you sleep deeply & finally, be more confident when doing your exams that you know the answers. I suggest meditating even if you can sleep fine. I truly believe that our mental-emotional functioning can influence our flow of energy (Qi) within & cause yin-yang imbalances as much as anything from outside influences.
