With the H1N1 virus circulating around the world, people are looking for ways to stay healthy more than ever. Who better to give good advice than Dr. Oz? 
Believe it or not, his advice is pretty simple. Here are his main tips:
- Take Vitamin D – even if you are out in the sun a lot, you may not be getting enough of this essential vitamin. Dr. Oz suggests that people take 1,000 units a day.
- Get enough sleep – I know life is busy and there never seems to be enough hours in a day but it’s really important to get a full night’s rest so that your body can recharge and be ready to withstand viruses.
- Exercise - staying active is an important part of being healthy since it is one of the most powerful ways to stimulate your immune system. Obviously, don’t overdo it (and let your body rest if you are already sick) but try to commit to fitting in at least 30 minutes of exercise every day.
Sounds easy but in our fast-paced world, making even small changes can be a challenge. I think the best thing to do is to take it a step at a time and master one thing (like remember to take your vitamins) before adding another.
