Eat mindfully
 
When you truly experience food for all it has to offer—smell, taste, color and nutrients—your body and soul will be nourished. Savor your meals and give thanks. Take time to eat meals, and stop always eating on the go. To reduce stress, choose foods that are rich in vitamin B-6, such as bananas (or plantains), mangos, peppers, chicken, sweet potatoes, etc. Also, for your brain’s sake, eat at least three servings of fish weekly. Salmon and tuna are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which may help protect the brain from the diseases of aging, among other health benefits.
