Surviving Divorce & Separation: Coping Skills: Staying Healthy Through Your Divorce:

Walking is an anywhere, anytime activity and a social sport. Grab a friend or two at lunch, slip off your heels or loafers and put on your walking shoes for a trek through the great outdoors. It beats slouching around the coffee machine. The benefits that you get from walking include:

• Greater energy
  
• Greater resistance to illness
  
• Greater resistance to stress
  
• Less susceptibility to injury than most other forms of exercise
  
• Lower anxiety
  
• Lower risk of certain degenerative diseases
  
• Stronger bones and stronger, more efficient lungs
  
  

Good nutrition goes hand-in-hand with an exercise routine. What you eat and drink affects your entire physical-mental self. Like a car low on fluids, the body gives signals of distress when it is not well-nourished. If you exist on cola and sugar, your mood swings or episodes of hyperactivity probably rule your productivity and sense of well-being. Like a car, your body can't operate well on low-quality fuel. Good nutrition goes a long way toward taking care of yourself. Here are some do's and don'ts:

• DO eat 2-3 balanced meals a day or "graze" throughout the day on wholesome foods
  
• DO shop for the four basic food groups - grains/ cereals, fruits & vegetables, meat/protein, dairy
  
• DO eat fish for vitamin A
  
• DO eat small portions and eat slowly
  
• DO eat with someone at least once per day
  
• DO drink 6-8 glasses of water per day
  
• DO pamper yourself and splurge occasionally
  
• DO use polyunsaturated fats
  
• DO learn the cholesterol levels of foods
  
• DO remember what you eat affects your performance and try to monitor what works for you
  
• DO spread your intake of food among all your meals
  
• DO enjoy a pleasant atmosphere for eating
  
• DON'T skip meals
  
• DON'T argue while eating
  
• DON'T eat while standing
  
• DON'T overuse alcohol, especially while eating
  
• DON'T eat late at night
  
• DON'T make a habit of eating at odd hours
  
• DON'T rush while eating
  
  

With diet and exercise well under control, you are well on your way toward coping with stress.

Divorce Tip: # 24 An uncontested divorce case is a divorce that does not require a trial. The disputes, if any, are resolved by the couple without the need of the court's decisions. This does not mean that the court does not have a role. All divorces must have some kind of judicial proceeding before you are issued a legal divorce decree. Sponsored by: How to Divorce as Friends
