1. Bring your own healthy food & snacks. Also, make sure you have backup meal options.

It’s difficult to acquire healthy food at many venues, and given the high stress environment and crowds, it is even more important than normal to make sure that you are eating properly and staying hydrated in order to stay healthy.
