Hello,
Start taking Ashwagandha daily after meals to help improve focus, reduce stress, and support better sleep.
A daily multivitamin that includes iron, zinc, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D can support your brain function and boost immunity. Take it with food for better absorption.
Next Steps
For best results, follow a balanced vegetarian diet that supports your mental well-being. You can consult for a personalized diet plan.

Before starting any supplements, it’s important to consult a doctor or healthcare professional about your focus and memory concerns.
This ensures you get the right advice, a clear picture of your health, and any necessary medication if required, since some supplements can interact with medicines or may not be needed unless a deficiency is confirmed.
- For brain power, eat walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, berries, dark chocolate, and leafy greens - these provide healthy fats, antioxidants, and B vitamins that support concentration and memory.
- For overall immunity, add citrus fruits, amla, and colorful vegetables to your meals. Here are some recipes with these foods you can try - Fruits and walnuts smoothie, a hearty oatmeal with fruits, nuts, and seeds and colourful salads / stir fry / or salsa. You can also prepare a mix of seeds, mix it with sauf and have it as a mouth refresher.
Along with a balanced diet, regular sleep, hydration, and daily physical activity are essential for mental sharpness.
Next Steps
As a dietitian, I can help you design a personalized meal plan to help you with your specific health goals.

Hi
Since you are prepping for exams, focus on getting good quality sleep and take power naps where required. This will support your cognitive function.
Avoid eating too much processed foods. Look at supplements like omega-3 or B complex. If you have iron or Vitamin D deficiency you can supplement that too after talking to your doctor.
Stay well hydrated, since dehydration can affect your concentration.
