Make a plan to have lunch or dinner at one of the many restaurants or eateries. TBonz, Flying Fish and Joe's Crab Shack have gluten free menu items for those with gluten allergies. At most restaurants, if you ask your server if they can prepare your meals without certain items, they will be glad to accommodate your dietary needs. And you can sit on the water at most of our restaurants, whether it's on the lake or the Intracoastal Waterway, just one more way to de-stress and enjoy the scenery.
Such simple things that can make a big difference and make you happy, which again, in turn, lowers stress, your heart rate and your blood pressure, can be simple and easy.
