nutrition and energy

Question
After a bout of glandular fever, I'd like to get my energy back and get my immune system in good shape. I have a reasonable diet, probably better than most, but I'd like to improve. What do you suggest to increase my energy level and boost my immune system? Any good books or sources of information?

Answer
Just eating an all around healthy diet and including a variety of foods from ALL of the food groups each day will be helpful! Eating 3-6 meals a day throughout the day and not skipping meals can also be key. Drink plenty of water, get regular exercise and cut back or cut out bad habits such as alcohol and smoking. Watch your fat intake as well as empty calories from high sugary foods. You may want to speak with your doctor about a multivitamin supplement also.
If you want a good book for eating healthier I recommend my book, "The Everything Nutrition Book".  You can find it at any bookstore or at my web site www.Nutrifocus.net.
