Trying to overcome tiredness by drinkingmore caffeine only makes the long-term problem worse.?Avoid too much alcohol. Similarly, alcoholcan worsen the symptoms of anxiety, and disruptsleep. Many people reach for a drink to calm theirnerves, but the consequences of overindulgence canoutweigh the benefits of initial relaxation. Forsome, a hangover, insomnia, and dehydration make onefeel worse than before one had a drink. In excessiveamounts, alcohol can actually act as a depressant,making the drinker feel sluggish or more anxious.Alcohol, like a simple sugar, is rapidly absorbed bythe body. Like other sugars, alcohol increaseshypoglycemia symptoms. It also causes mood swings.?Eat complex carbohydrates, also known ascarbs. During anxious times, turn to comfortingcarbs. These foods act as a mild tranquilizer byincreasing the amount of serotonin, a calmingneurotransmitter in the brain. Complex carbs such aspotatoes, wholewheat bread, and pasta take longer to

digest than sugary simple carbs like white bread.That way, one can stay fuller longer and blood sugaris likely to stay steady, eliminating stress andanxiety.?Be sure to drink eight or more glasses ofwater a day. Dehydration can lead to fatigue,headaches and stress. One should be well-hydrated anddrinking lots of water a day can decrease symptoms ofanxiety.?Take multivitamins and mineral supplements.

If you want your bird to live a long life it is important to feed it in a nutritionally sound way.Birds often die too young because they are malnourished or they pick up a disease because theywere not being fed correctly.抯2. Birds who are part of the parrot family should be fed a variety of foods. Seeds are used bymost as the only part of the bird diet and this is a mistake. Seeds have too much fat, not抯enough protein and almost no vitamins. Seeds should not make up more than 50 percent of yourbird diet.3. Try healthy table foods like items that contain whole grains and pretzels, pasta and wholewheat bread. Many birds can be persuaded, given time and encouragement, to eat dairy andpoultry products. Try serving your bird low-fat cheese, yogurt and chicken. Avoid any food thatis high in fat and stay away from avocados, they are toxic tobirds!4. Beans and legumes as well as fruits and vegetables are good sources of nutrition for the petbird. It may take quite awhile to get your fine-feathered friend to except these changes, (up to ayear) but it will be the best thing for your bird.抰5. When you get ready to make these changes do it slowly. Offer the fresh foods twice a day forabout an hour at each feeding. Don leave the fresh food in the cage longer than that. Itbecomes unappealing and can develop bacteria.6. Feeding your bird twice a day is a good idea. Your bird will become hungry betweenfeedings and this practice produces a more active bird. With a healthy appetite the bird is morelikely to try new foods. You will also be able to keep a closer watch on how much your bird iseating. (If your bird is sick,laying eggs, caring for young, or nesting they should always havefood available.) When food consumption drops, a bird is usually not feeling well.7. If your bird is having a hard time getting used to the new diet, try warming the food orcooking the vegetables. It will take a little time to discover what works for your bird. Offerseeds only at meal time and along with other foods until you see that your bird is eating enoughto stay healthy. Birds often do better with new diets when they are fed outside the cage.抯8. Water is the final key to your bird nutritional success. The water must be fresh and allbowls should be thoroughly cleaned each day with hot water and soap. Disinfect these bowls抯with bleach every week. Be sure all the bleach is totally rinsed away from the bowls. Adding amultivitamin to the bird water daily is a good idea until you know the bird is getting enoughvitamins from the fruit and vegetables. Birds are delightful pets and feeding them properlyallows them to enjoy a healthy lifestyle and this practice can extend their life expectancy.
