For most of us prepping for the GMAT, at some point in time we encounter varing levels of stress. Stress can be manifested in numerous ways, from irritability to an outright catharsis and physical breakdown. However, a key component to getting that extra 5-10% on T-day is to minimize stress by staying healthy and alert. Here are a few personal reccommendations on how to stay healthy during your preparation. Please feel free to add your suggestions as well.
1. Sleep. Enough said. Lack of sleep results in dismal performance, not to mention a weakening of the immune system. Get into a good sleep routine and tack on a few extra hours on the weekends.

2. Eat properly. Our bodies are much more sophisticated than the best Ferarri on the market. Would you put cheap, low grade 87 octaine into a Ferarri engine? Definately not. Likewise, fuel your body with the best foods you can: fish loaded with Omega B for increased memory, garlic for immune system boost and pure energy, https://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/f ... 21,00.html kale for antioxidant cleansers, yoghurt for minerals, and my personal favorite, KIMCHEE. Fresh korean KIMCHEE is the miracle cure all for whatever ails you (except your social life). KIMCHEE without MSG is hard to find, but when you get it in your system, it immediately attacks any viruses or bacteria. KIMCHEE is like 110 high performance octaine, the highest grade available. Have you ever met a Korean that lacked vitality? https://www.treelight.com/health/nutriti ... althy.html
3. Take multivitamins. These potent antioxidants work wonders for the various organs. Make sure to get the ones with ginkyo bilboa, coenzyme Q10, and celenium.
4. Get B-12 Injection(s). If you really feel worn out and/or depressed, these liquid miracle shots can put you back into the game in no time. I get one or two a year from a local ENT here in Osaka, and they really help. https://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=1568
5. Start an exercise routine. Walk, jog, cycle, swim, lift weights, whatever suits your fancy. The key is to get your blood circulating so all these vitamins can work their way to the brain and the cells in order to be utilized most efficiently. Exercising a few times a week also aids in better sleep and builds self esteem. Try starting the morning off with a 20 minute jog and watch how much better you feel!
6. Drink green tea. The Japanese and Chinese have got it right. For over 4,000 years the Chinese have been drinking green tea as both a medicinal healer and health enhancer. Green tea contains ECGC, one of the most powerful antioxidants known (recently published in the Harvard Medical Association Journal) which wards off certain cancers and keeps blood pressure low. Green tea in available all over the place, but the convenience store version doesn`t hold a candle to what you can get at an asian food and kanpoyaku store.
7. Take a hot bath. A bath relaxes the muscles and relieves the sinuses preparing you for a deeper, more relaxing sleep.
8. Get some sunlight. No, you don`t need to go sunbathing all day, however it is beneficial to get away from your PC every now and then for a walk in the park or hike up a local mountain. Sunlight triggers the increased production of the feel-good brain chemical, serotonin - which, as well as controlling your sleep patterns, body temperature, and
drive, lifts your mood and helps ward off depression. https://www.whatreallyworks.co.uk/start/ ... cle_ID=451
Preparing for a 7XX GMAT is a bit like training to go into space; one must strive for optimum mental and physical condition levels to best complete the mission.
These are just my personal reccommendations. Everybody is different so through trial and error, see what works best for you. One thing is certain however, a healthy body maintains a healthy mind, and a healthy mind results in better performance when you need it most.

Thank you, Matt!! With such an expertise in taking care of health, you should study medicine rather than biz 
. I don't know how about others but I myself would avoid drinking green tea 
Drinking a bottle of green tea can kill my whole night sleeping, enervating my mental as well as physical condition. 
. Anyway, you can try drinking it several times to see how much your body gets adapted to it. Btw, I studied a course of Chinese traditional medicine which teach us what to eat and drink as to keep body in good condition. If anyone feel interested, I can post some recipes

Laxie,
Try not to drink the green tea after 5pm as the caffeine content does tend to keep you awake in much the same way coffee does. You should be able to get some good "cha" in Guangzou.
