how to look after your (mental) health
• Nutrition is very important for brain health, which is why it is advised to have a
balanced diet to ensure your body gets enough vitamins, proteins and essential fatty
acids. However, highly processed foods, which are often stodgy dishes, and sugary
drinks should be avoided as they only harm your health. Staying away from tobacco
products, drugs and alcohol should go without saying.
• Additionally, moving your body daily, especially doing heart-pumping exercises is
essential for the maintenance of a good level of fitness and can positively impact
your body as well as your mental health.
• Moreover, meditation and other mindful exercises can help reduce stress. However,
to avoid health problems caused by stress in the first place it is advised to stay calm
and accept situations instead of stressing. Reducing one’s screen time is also proven
to minimize stress.
• You should regularly make appointments at healthcare professionals to have a
check-up and possibly get medical advice.
