- Simply eating three meals per day is not enough, because it does not provide your body with the constant flow of nutrients and energy it needs to grow. Try and increase your meal intake to at least five or six meals per day.

- Avoid fried and deep-fried foods. Stir-frying, however, is one of the best methods for retaining nutrients while cooking vegetables, followed by pressure-cooking and steaming.

- If you have a food craving, eat very slowly. Remember, it takes about fifteen or twenty minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that your craving has been satisfied.

- Stress can cause your body's tissues to break down faster and mend more slowly. So if you are stressed, eat something containing high amounts of protein. Foods that are good sources of protein include fish, poultry, lean meats, milk products, dried soybeans and seafood.
