Dark Chocolate
It’s not exactly my favourite type of chocolate, but if someone says you can eat chocolate whilst revising, I’m certainly not turning down that opportunity! Dark chocolate is very beneficial for your brain for helping your memory, which is the only thing you really need when revising! It’s also great for helping blood flow to the brain, keeping you alert during the study period.Blueberries
