Diet: Eating healthy is one of the simplest things anyone can do to stay healthy. Cut out the junk food and eat fruits and vegetables.
If you would like to see specific foods to eat to Boost Your Immune System Watch This Video. If you want to supplement your diet with additional vitamins and supplements here’s some suggestions:
Multivitamin – Centrum Minis Silver for Women 50 Plus or Centrum Minis Silver for Men 50 Plus. Centrum Silver is the number 1 Doctor recommended multivitamin brand now shown to support memory and cognition in older adults.
Elderberry – Available as a Elderbery Syrup or Elderberry Gummy.
Emergen-C is also a good alternative for anyone that doesn’t like to take pills or just prefers to drink thier vitamins. It can also be used as a sports recovery drink as it contains electrolytes.
Exercise: Staying in shape doesn’t need to be difficult, it just needs to involve movement on a consistent basis.
It could be as simple as going for a 30 minute walk five times a week, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or doing exercises at home. If you don’t know where to start here is a Workout For Beginners as well as Simple Everyday Stretches.
Rest: Getting enough sleep is critical to staying healthy and allowing your body to recover from exercise.
Try to get 8 hours of sleep a night and take a short nap during the day if you are feeling tired. Upgrade your matress to the TUFT & NEEDLE Mattress if you are having trouble sleeping.
More Common Sense Tips: Be sure to schedule an annual visit with your doctor to get specific advice for your situation and get whatever vaccinations are recommended. Since I’m over 50 I recently got the shingles vaccine as I want to avoid getting shingles and the pain asscoiated with it.
Wash your hands often and stop shaking hands! Many viruses are spread fecal to oral and unless you are 100% confident that everyone you are shaking hands with has thoroughly washed their hands after using the restroom you are risking infection.
