hey that's actually a really good question... I have heard that Fish Oil supplements (so you get a good amount of Omega-3's in there) are really good. I have a friend who says he sleeps better and feels slightly better toward life in general after having taken them for a little while. I don't know if that's a placebo effect but it certainly won't hurt you in your quest for healthier living if you take them. to that effect, it seems that anything you can get your Omega-3's from food wise is prob also really good. Salmon, nuts, avocados. think good fat...

conversely, I would think avoiding sugar and simple carbs (that break down in your system and send you on a blood sugar rollercoaster) should be strictly avoided.

getting good sleep and very large amounts of water is always a great help in the effort to stay balanced!

I'm curious to see what other people say. I bet there's a lot of good information out there about this.
