How To Stay Healthy?

Any idea's on how to stay really healthy without my spleen?

• I just had my spleen removed 3 weeks ago due to a 5 pound cyst. I want to stay healthy and obviously try not to get sick. What can I do to stay and keep healthy. What food's should I eat that will help keep my immune system up, and just keep me healthy ( I don't have much of one right now) I am seriously willing to change a lot that I do. I am going to start walking every morning. Any other ideas? Thanks!

• Answer:

  Best way above all else is to constantly wash your hands with soap and hot water. As far as staying healthy be careful not to 'over do' it with exercise or anything which will also backfire. Stay on a good diet and get moderate exercise, once you heal from your surgery. Don't worry too much my mom had her spleene removed like 20 years ago, and dealt with 6 kids going through school. **MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR FLU SHOT YEARLY She's had to go to the hospital twice, but only when she didn't get her shot for that year. Good luck to you and don't worry too much
