Eat Healthy and Balanced Meals and drink lots of water. Healthy foods, such as fresh fruit, will keep you feeling good. Junk food will only fill you craving for a short time and then will leave you feeling sluggish.
Exercise - regular exercise can keep the stress levels down.
Take Brain Breaks - take breaks to refuel, take a rest and move around.. Give yourself time to complete your work
