How to De-Stress: 6 Self-Care Strategies That Work

It's time to take it back to the basics, just like mama said.

Eat right: A balanced diet with anti-inflammatory foods like berries, leafy greens, fatty fish and nuts will go a long way to helping you feel better physically. Oh, and don't forget the H2O.

Get a good rest: There are sooooo many reasons why sleep is important. It's good for your memory, helps prevent overeating, improves concentration, and so on and so on. A solid seven to eight hours should get you what you need.
