>- drop coffee and sigarettes, reduce alcool, eat more vegetables and fruit; it's weird

Why is it weird? You know in medieval Europe taking a bath was weird, two centuries ago having tuberculosis was fashionable. What is more important - fashion of times or your unique life? You must make up your mind.

sorry, I was referring to the last part, as coffee, cigarettes and alcohol have clear effects on the mind, while zucchini do not.

I only mentioned it may seems weird because generally one expects eating fruits and vegetables to help with some generic "physical well being" but doesn't think of them being useful for psychological health too.

I would like to say something about this "because generally one expects". See this is your life right here and now and soon it will be over. If your concern about fundamental aspects like food is only "general" - this means you still not realized how important they are.

In other words instead of marking things "weird", "general" etc one should try for themselves and see what works for real. It does require some courage and intelligence but hey, it's your life what is this about.
