Diet and Nutrition
What we eat and drink is so important to all aspects of our life. It not only fuels us, but helps concentration, fights off infection, gives us energy and improves our general mood.
As mentioned in other sections, creating a routine is key and remembering to think what you eat rather than eating things for convenience.

Overeating
Overeating
A major danger is that we get bored and overeat. Don't worry, this is a normal reaction but there needs to be an element of self control to stop you from constantly snacking on 'bad' foods.
