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 about what you eat rather than eating things for convenience is vital to this process.

Overeating
Overeating
A major danger is that when we get bored we can 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 foods high in calories and lacking nutritional value.
