Eat and drink less

Alcohol – this interferes with sleep patterns, so you may not feel fully rested. It also depletes levels of B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and calcium – all vital for normal brain function.

High GI foods such as white bread, white rice, confectionery and high-energy drinks, as they cause energy spikes followed by crashing lows.

Caffeine – it can inhibit the uptake of iron, which is essential for the formation of haemoglobin – the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells.
