Make a point to aim for a least 7 hours of sleep a night to reduce your chances of getting sick.

Eat well

The majority of Americans are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. To help keep yourself healthy start increasing your consumption of fruits and veg9tables each day.

If you do not have the ability to eat a well-balanced diet for any reason you should be taking a quality multivitamin to help replace vital nutrients you may be missing from your diet.

Get exercises.

Our bodies need movement to work at their best. Make a point of movement daily even if it is just a walk around the block. Movement will get your blood pumping and help your body stay healthy.
