4) Do you eat a healthy, balanced diet?

Answer C: 1 Point

You could probably decrease your stress level significantly with some diet changes. If you are careful to limit sugar, salt and fat, and include plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and other healthy foods in your diet, you will enjoy increased health and longevity. You¹ll also experience a stronger immune system and fewer sugar-induced mood swings, making it easier to respond stress, and reducing the amount of stress you experience due to illness or poor overall health. You also may have more energy, so you can be more productive in your life, leaving you the ability to do more things that you enjoy. It may seem difficult to make changes at first, but they will pay off in many areas of your life.

Find resources that can help you change your diet for the better.
