of self destructive behaviour.

various vegetables and fruit in your diet.
Stop eating fast food. Avoid food that is processed and already prepared.
Do not diet. Change the way that you eat.

will, which in turn will improve our outlook, provides
us with more energy and enables us to follow through.
