With Leaving Cert and Junior Cert exams just around the corner, it’s natural to feel the pressure building. At McGorisks Pharmacy, we’re here to help you stay healthy, focused, and confident during exam season.
Here are our top tips to help you perform at your best:
Fuel Your Body Right
A balanced diet is key!
Opt for brain-boosting foods like:
- Oily fish (for omega-3s)
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains for steady energy
Skipping meals can lead to low energy and poor concentration — not what you want on exam day!
Stay Active
Short bursts of exercise can work wonders for your focus and mood.
A brisk walk, a cycle, or even stretching between study sessions can clear your head and boost your brain power.
Prioritise Sleep
Cramming all night might seem like a good idea — but sleep is essential for memory and concentration.
Aim for 7–9 hours a night, especially in the week leading up to your exams.
Support Your Immune System
Getting sick before or during exams is the last thing you need.
That’s where Pharma Plus Active Immune Teen comes in!
This daily supplement is packed with vitamins B, C, D, Zinc, and the hero ingredient Wellmune from the Kerry Group — scientifically proven to strengthen your immune system.
One smart sachet a day can help you stay healthy, energised, and exam-ready!
Mind Your Mind
Don’t forget your mental health!
Take breaks, breathe deeply, and talk to someone if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
Even 10 minutes of downtime can reset your stress levels and help you refocus.
Stay Organised
Having a study plan can reduce stress and boost your confidence.Break subjects into manageable chunks and set small, achievable goals each day.
At McGorisks Pharmacy, we’re rooting for you!
