Getting the right nutrition is an essential factor for reaching optimal performance to achieve greatness in one’s studies and extra-curricular activities as it keeps the mind and body primed for improved productivity, something many of us often neglect because of hectic schedules during the schooling years.
“Getting the right nourishment ensures that you have the mental focus and concentration for improved productivity, helps you cope with stress better, and gives your body the energy to carry you through the day’s activities from early morning to late night,” said Yau Chin Chin, Senior Manager, Scientific Research & Application, BRAND’S® Suntory Asia.
Speaking to parents and students at the BRAND’S® SMART Achievers Award prize-giving ceremony, she shared the science behind the popular BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken and explained how it reduces physical tiredness, improves mental concentration and maintains emotional wellbeing.
The only chicken essence in the market backed by over 44 international scientific papers and clinical studies, results have shown that regular consumption of BRAND’S® Essence Of Chicken improves memory by up to 15% and enhances concentration by 22%, while metabolism can be increased by up to 16%.
Yau explained, “Increased blood circulation and oxygen flow to the brain and body will keep mental and physical fatigue away, while reducing anxiety and stress hormone, cortisol, so that the ability to stay alert or focus is not affected.”
This helps students to able to stay sharp and concentrate better during classes and revisions while the improved blood circulation and metabolism help maintain their energy level for their activities throughout the day.
Corroborating the findings are at least 21 students, who excelled at their final examinations last year and were handpicked to receive the annual BRAND’S® SMART Achievers Award.
Ranging from secondary to tertiary level education, they were selected from hundreds of entries to emerge as the best of the best to receive the much-coveted recognition that only recognizes top achievers who excelled in both their academic and extra-curricular performance.
Travelling from eight states from as far as Sabah, Sarawak, Johor, Penang, Pahang and Perak, the proud students and even prouder parents attended the special awards ceremony held in their honour where they received cash and product hampers as part of their rewards.
