6.  Healthy Eating Habits: The food one intakes can majorly affect the activeness of the driver. Consuming food rich in carbohydrates such as rice and potatoes can make you feel energetic and thus helping at the time of giving a performance. Taking a light meal full of fibers and veggies will keep you active and refreshed. It is always good to keep the stomach little empty. Consider having salads, healthy sandwiches, fruits, yogurt etc before getting in the car.
