Should we consume eggs before going for an exam? (science vs superstition )


There's a popular belief that we shouldn't eat eggs before going for an examination. Now is it just a saying? Is it a superstition set by our ancestors?

Actually there's a scientific reason behind this. Before going for the explanation we need to understand something about the examination. 

We need to stay calm so that we can give our best. So, we should take a hearty breakfast. The more simple and easy breakfast we take, it would be more easy to digest. Eggs are high in protein & fat so when we eat eggs, the BMR rate is increased. So it may become difficult to stay calm. As our body temperature increases and with that it becomes difficult stay cool. 

Though it is a simple scientific phenomena and we all know this. But the matter is whether we can control  this or not. If you can control this then you can have also. It varies from person to person. We are advised to drink Glucon-D because it quickly reaches to our brain.

So, it wouldn't be correct to say that it is just an superstition. It has a scientific reason which I have already said. Now it's upto you whether you are going take it as superstition or advice.

Superstition means lack of faith in God.  Now the question arises: Are the traditional beliefs and superstitions same?  Is it only because of the illiteracy? Were our ancestors fool & illiterate? Can science alone eradicate such beliefs? And the most importa

We are always advised not to sit in front of and door. Specially this line is said by our grandmothers. Is there any scientific reason behind this? Let us understand the fact that why they used to say that?  Definitely they once observed many incidents for which they used to say so which became a saying.

Simply you are blocking the path to enter through the door.That's why your are advised not to sit in front of the door.
