Quick facts from Dr. Melina

As a board-certified internist and physician nutrition specialist, Dr. Melina Jampolis specializes in nutrition for weight loss and disease prevention/treatment. Previously the host of Discovery Network’s FIT TV program, “FIT TV’s Diet Doctor” and author of “The Calendar Diet,” Dr. Melina now serves as the diet and fitness expert for CNNHealth.com. She says:

  • Getting regular exercise, keeping stress levels under control, getting adequate sleep and maintaining a healthy diet are all critical components of fighting off infection.
  • When it comes to exercise, even the simple things count. Gardening, washing the car, mowing the lawn, taking the stairs, dancing and walking the dog are all examples of moderate physical activity. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes daily.
  • Consuming too much trans and saturated fats, along with added sugar and highly processed foods, can stress your body and cause low-grade inflammation, which can wear down your immune system.
  • Soluble fiber helps slow the rate of digestion, improve blood sugar control, and lower blood cholesterol. Insoluble fiber provides bulk and helps push waste through your system to support digestive health.
