Well, first one would have to operationally define “superfoods”. My understanding is that there is little to no evidence for such foods from a scientific viewpoint. At best, one might question whether the term is a good marketing strategy that focuses on a few foods rather than on an overall balanced, healthy diet. Just tracking the “Superfoods” without knowing the rest of one‘s dietary intake could lead to many uncontrolled variables when trying to determine any relationship to academic performance. At least, these are some of the questions I would seek to uncover in such research.
Yes. My interest derives from HPE-student affairs and developmental psychology; as well as experience in remedial instruction and administration.

Water consumption and sleep patterns are complementary components.
