When you study for hours or sit for the SAT, ACT, SSAT or GRE, a steady supply helps you stay focused and remember what you learned. One easy way to get a moderate dose without a sugar crash is a single serving of plain coconut water, which has about 8\u201314 g of natural sugar per cup.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Why your brain needs glucose<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Glucose is the brain\u2019s main fuel. A normal-weight adult uses about 200 g of glucose a day, and about 130 g of that goes to the brain. Teens need just as much glucose for their brains as adults do. By about age 6, the brain is already close to its adult size. Through the teen years it is still busy building and reorganizing connections, so it burns as much fuel as an adult brain. A teen\u2019s body is smaller, but their brain isn\u2019t. Your brain can\u2019t store much glucose, so it depends on a steady supply from your blood.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li><strong>Short dips hurt.<\/strong> When glucose runs low in parts of the brain, attention, memory and learning can suffer (<a href=\"https:\/\/eufic.org\/en\/whats-in-food\/article\/glucose-and-mental-performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EUFIC<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A moderate dose can help.<\/strong> In lab studies, a glucose drink improved short-term memory and attention, and some studies found better long-term verbal and spatial memory in young adults (<a href=\"https:\/\/eufic.org\/en\/whats-in-food\/article\/glucose-and-mental-performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EUFIC<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Harder tasks benefit most.<\/strong> Demanding mental work, the kind you do on a hard math section or a dense reading passage, appears to gain more than simple tasks (<a href=\"https:\/\/eufic.org\/en\/whats-in-food\/article\/glucose-and-mental-performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EUFIC<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The right dose depends on when you last ate.<\/strong> One study found 25 g of glucose improved working memory after a 2-hour fast, while 60 g was needed after an overnight fast (<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00213-011-2510-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Psychopharmacology, 2011<\/a>). In other words, eat breakfast; a drink is a top-up, not a meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breakfast matters for students.<\/strong> In children and teens, eating breakfast is linked to better memory and attention (<a href=\"https:\/\/eufic.org\/en\/whats-in-food\/article\/glucose-and-mental-performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EUFIC<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Steady, not spiky<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>More sugar isn&#8217;t better. A large soda or energy drink can hold 40\u201360 g of sugar, which can spike your blood sugar and leave you tired and foggy an hour later, often in the middle of a test section. The goal is a <strong>moderate, steady supply<\/strong>: a balanced breakfast, then small top-ups in the range of about 15\u201325 g of sugar, close to the 25 g dose that helped memory in studies.<\/p>\n<p>Research supports the benefits of a moderate amount of glucose, but there\u2019s little research on coconut water in particular. Still, its nutrition profile fits well: one small container has a moderate amount of natural sugar, close to what was used in studies. Years ago, nutritionists recommended coconut water to me for test-taking, and I\u2019ve personally found that it helps me maintain my attention and focus.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Coconut water: a moderate dose in one container<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Plain canned or boxed coconut water fits that range well. Its sugar is natural (a mix of glucose, fructose and sucrose), and one cup (8 fl oz) gives you about 8\u201314 g of sugar, and a single small container about 14\u201323 g. It also has potassium and fluids, which help on a long test day.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<th>Sold in<\/th>\n<th>Container<\/th>\n<th>Sugar per container<\/th>\n<th>Sugar per 8 fl oz (240 mL)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vita Coco The Original<\/td>\n<td>US and Canada<\/td>\n<td>11.1 fl oz (330 mL)<\/td>\n<td>14 g<\/td>\n<td>about 10 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Harmless Harvest Organic<\/td>\n<td>US<\/td>\n<td>16 fl oz (473 mL)<\/td>\n<td>28 g<\/td>\n<td>14 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zico No Sugar Added<\/td>\n<td>US<\/td>\n<td>16.9 fl oz (500 mL)<\/td>\n<td>17 g<\/td>\n<td>8 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Grace 100% Pure<\/td>\n<td>Canada<\/td>\n<td>500 mL can<\/td>\n<td>23 g<\/td>\n<td>about 11 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Labels change, so check the one you buy.
