Lots of water. Google foods that are high in vitamin C and zinc.

A good quality probiotic with a high culture count and 6-10 strains can really help strengthen your immune system and can have many other benefits.

Getting adequate rest has always helped me not get sick.

Thanks for the link good info there.
My sleep routine has been poor for the past few years at best, I get 6 hrs of sleep ....usually around 4 before I wake up. Haven't been able to exercise very much the past 6 months due to bad plantar fascitis.
my diet for the most part is good every now and then i will snack on junk food or ice cream but I dont think my weight is much of a problem 5-11 and 185 lbs
