Healthy Diet
Another key aspect of maintaining a healthy weight, and therefore a healthy immune system, is what you eat. A healthy diet is typically one that includes lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grains and lean protein, while minimizing the intake of salt, sugar, cholesterol and saturated fats.
