3. Eat Well

Processed foods are loaded with sugar, fat and artificial additives. After eating fast foods you will feel sluggish and lack energy. Avoid these foods, as well as alcohol, excessive caffeine and smoking, which all can make you more anxious.

Studies have found a link between Western (fast food) diets and cognitive impairment, anxiety and depression. Fill your plate with fresh vegetables and add some high quality proteins (lean meats, fish, and beans), healthy oils (olive oil), wholesome grains, nuts and seeds. Choose fruit instead of cookies or ice cream for dessert.
