I think its a myth. ๐Ÿ˜† Eating almonds never helped me, so I stopped. I still think in exams at "almond speed".

Yaar, My mom gave me almonds 2 months b4 exams every time till exams end...I didn't see any change in me ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† and i really don't know whether it helps or its just a brain programming to retain better ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

Some doctors say that its useless... some say its worth it... but let me say, eating "7 almonds" b4 sunrise everyday do taste YUMMY!!!!๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜†.. So why don't we enjoy the taste!๐Ÿ˜‰

Actually they do help. I believe almonds increase your memory.(Ayurvedic fact) Increase in memory means it will help you retain stuff you study.

But you won't have anything to retain if you didn't study in the first place. ๐Ÿ˜†

wow thanks Vishesh !!!!!!

Know what, it could be possible.

I ate a lot of almonds during my elder kid's time, and he turned out to have what is popularly known as 'photographic memory', meaning anything visual that he has seen is grasped in nano seconds, and his retention power of those visible images are extraordinary. For example,say I kept a white purse in a particular rack 3 months back and can't find it, he would remember where I had kept it .He could differentiate between a coco-cola logo and a pepsi logo on the bottle caps at the age of 11 months, and never confused them. This is amazing because we he hardly watched television and we did not have too much of soda at out home at that point of time.And no one ever pointed them out to him. Or he would see a washing machine add, we wouldn't even know he had seen it, and then he would not only point out the bill board, but recite the whole add's punchline in his totli language verbatim pointing out to the picture. And he could do that for each different washing machine,shoes (he could recognise each individual brand by it's logo, still does), cars, motobikes,even biscuits, soaps, blades, shampoo.....it was pretty amazing. However, later we realised that this was true only of visual pictures, and not of alphabets or any written material. So even today, any thing visual that he has seen is retained, and he can name accurately anything, even if they are made up of long sentences but anything that he has to conciously learn in written or oral form, or read, it becomes a different story. Even today, when he is actually reading out something from a product, say a toy or a cereal box, chances are,he is not really 'reading' them, but simply reciting what he retained from somewhere. Now we ask him to 'read' ๐Ÿ˜†

Now does that mean almonds help develop visual memory?

But I avoided eating any kind of nuts during my second term as I was afraid I would gain too much wait. My younger one has not shown any such trait so far.At 11 months he wouldn't have been able to differnciate Adam from Eve even if he was shown everyday !!! ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†
