Ways to revitalise your life

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.
