  • Are you getting enough sleep?
  • Are you getting at least 30 minutes of physical exercise on at least 3 - 4 days of the week?
  • Do you get enough sunlight for Vitamin D production but not too much because sunburn increases the risk of melanoma?
  • Are you eating a variety of foods from the five main foods groups?:
    • Bread, cereals, rice, pasta, noodles
    • Vegetables, legumes
    • Fresh fruit
    • Milk, yoghurt, cheese
    • Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, legumes.
  • Are you getting enough Iron, B12 and Folate in your diet? If you are tired, consult your doctor for a blood test to exclude other causes and determine appropriate supplementation if needed. [People with a family history of haemochromatosis should have a blood test for the gene and should not take vitamins with iron]
