Food is a double-edged sword... It makes you drowsy and heavy, but it's also one of the best ways to enhance your thinking abilities...

I'm a translator, a tetris champion and a programmer, and I often forget to eat when I'm really absorbed in what I'm doing... And I noticed many times that I performed much better at these mental tasks after a protein-heavy meal.

A malnourished brain will have trouble focusing, not just because of the hole you feel in your stomach when you're hungry, but also because it actually needs that food to work properly. That may be the reason my first projection happened after steak, potatoes, coke and nicotine, with the added bonus of an upcoming exam. Who knows?
