One of the most important things you can do to avoid getting sick is to keep your body as strong and healthy as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to eat a healthy diet, focus on your gut health, and get some sort of daily exercise. Here's what that may look like.
Tips for Eating Healthy
Improving your diet to eat healthier can seem like a challenge. There's a lot you can do. The key is to start and make small improvements as you go along. A great place to start is by cutting out sugar and processed foods. Replace them with whole foods options where you can. Have an apple instead of a candy bar when you need a snack. Fix some scrambled eggs instead of pouring a bowl of sugary cereal in the morning. Skip the fast food burger and fix a salad to take to lunch. You get the idea.
From there, I would encourage you to add more fresh fruits and vegetables. Try something new. A new piece of produce, a new healthy recipe, a new way to cook your favorite foods in a healthier way. Experiment and don't be surprised if your tastes change over time. A baked sweet potato will start to taste better while soggy burgers will start to lose their appeal.
Focus on GUT HEALTH
Did you know that more than 70% of your immune system is rooted in your gut health? It’s true. And yet, many people don’t understand that most of the food, medicine, and even some store-bought supplements are doing more damage than good in our gut health! I absolutely LOVE the gut health regimen I have been using for the last 7 years and I’m always happy to give my followers coupons to get started on them.

Simple Ways to Sneak More Exercise into Your Day
The key to regular exercise is to create a few habits. An easy way to start is to incorporate a brisk daily walk. Something as simple as a stroll after dinner or first thing in the morning can contribute to a healthy body. Another option many find helpful is to wear a pedometer or fitness tracker. Monitor your daily step count for a few days and then start to increase it until you get to the recommended 10,000 steps - or challenge yourself to do even more.
Keep your bones strong and improve your overall fitness by adding some simple weightlifting routines. You don't need any fancy equipment. Use your body weight for resistance and grab some cans to use as weights. Of course, if you're feeling motivated, you may also choose to join a gym or hire a personal trainer to help you get into a good workout routine.
Between the healthy food you're eating and the exercise you're getting, you'll start to feel better, get stronger, and become healthier.
