  • Practicing certain exercises, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and getting 6-8 hours of sleep can improve focus and energy levels. Adding short breaks and practicing mindfulness can also help reduce anxiety and improve well-being.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses five exercises designed to improve posture and alleviate exam stress. It highlights the importance of good posture for overall health, particularly in reducing back pain and enhancing concentration, which is crucial during exam periods. The exercises include:

    Wall Angels - This exercise helps in aligning the spine and shoulders by standing against a wall and moving arms up and down in an 'angel wings' motion.
    Cat-Cow Stretch - A yoga pose that involves alternating between arching the back (cow) and rounding it (cat) to increase flexibility in the spine and relieve tension.
    Thoracic Spine Rotation - This involves sitting on the floor with legs crossed and rotating the upper body to each side to improve thoracic mobility.
    Plank - A core strengthening exercise that also helps in maintaining a neutral spine, thus supporting better posture.
    Chin Tucks - An exercise to correct forward head posture by gently tucking the chin in, which helps in reducing neck strain.
The article emphasizes that incorporating these exercises into daily routines can significantly help students manage stress and maintain physical health during stressful exam times.
