Your body and mind are similar to a car in terms of needs: If you ll the tank
with good fuel, it will function well. Again, there are some very simple rules
that can make the difference between life and death in the long run. They
are mainly about avoiding excess:
#   Be moderate on alcohol – it stops your chemical system from
rebounding properly.
#   Be moderate on sugar and salt – they will mess up your energy
resources.
#  Avoid processed foods. Eat nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables.
#  Be moderate on foods rich on white processed our, such as white
bread.
Factors that contribute to resilience include:
#  Close relationships with family and friends
#   A positive view of yourself and con dence in your strengths and
abilities
#  The ability to manage strong feelings and impulses
#  Good problem-solving and communication skills
#  Feeling in control
#  Seeking help and resources
#  Seeing yourself as resilient (rather than as a victim)
