During the winters I did volunteer work at a non-profit clinic in Arizona. It is easy to recall some of the basic information their medical doctors asked me to type out for their patients. In addition to general inquiries their advice usually included a “hand-out” page, “Simple Steps to Stay Healthy.” It included:
l. Eat plenty of vegetables. A well nourished system can fight off infections better by including carrots, lettuce and celery in the diet each day.
2. Exercise regularly – A 30 minute walk every day will kick your immune system into gear.
3. Immune Support Supplements can make an illness milder and shorten the time of sickness. Consider adding vitamin C or take a multiple vitamin with meals. Ask your doctor what is best for your specific case.
4. Stress Reduction: A seven or eight hour sleep helps build up the immune system. Consider the habit used in Italy. Have a siesta every day after lunch or if that is not possible even a short rest after work will help.
5. Drink several ounces of grape juice about 15 minutes before meals so the correct weight for your system can be established. A large salad eaten before meals can keep the system in balance and maintain the proper weight that can add years to your life span.
