10 Tips for Mental Health

Identify your abilities and weaknesses together, accept them build on them and do the best with what you have. 

2. Eat right, Keep fit 
A balanced diet, exercise and rest can help you to reduce stress and enjoy life.

We all have stressors in our lives but learning how to deal with them when they threaten to overwhelm us will maintain our mental health. 

8. Find Strength in Numbers 
Sharing a problem with others who have had similar experiences may help you find a solution and will make you feel less isolated. 

9. Identify and Deal with Moods 
We all need to find safe and constructive ways to express our feelings of anger, sadness, joy and fear.

10. Learn to Be at Peace with Yourself 
Get to know who you are, what makes you really happy, and learn to balance what you can and cannot change about yourself.

They may also help with heart disease, weight loss, and controlling cholesterol, as they do not have any cholesterol, have fiber, which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption, and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables.
