How do I boost my immune system?

Question

In the last 7 months I have been eating very healthy; I've only drank water, milk, and juice for over a year; and I've been taking a good multivitamin, echinacea with vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamins A & D every day. I take probiotics when I can remember before I go to bed; and I try to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
3 weeks ago I had a sore throat, and I lost half of my voice, after about a week, I was pretty much over it. then 3 days ago I started coughing and my throat got sore again, I lost almost all of my voice yesterday, and I didn't have any energy at all! I didn't even feel like moving. I've been coughing up this nasty junk. and I feel a lot better today. I know this stuff is going around like crazy, but is there anything more I can do to prevent from getting it again?

d everyday is good if you have certain types of cancer but your multi vitamin should supply enuff of this, C is good to help emune system, and E as an antioxident, red grape seed extract is 80 times more potent than vitamin E and also green tea extract is good omega 3 fatty acids help the body to heal its self and boost the bodys healing power you sound as though you are taking good care of yourself stick wih it.

Answer 2

Get rid of your general belief that there is some thing wrong with your immune system and with your health. Believe me.. your body can make anything, out of sheer air, required for your body provided your mind will not interfere in the process. Your intake of multivitamins, echinacea with vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamins A & D and all such stuff will definitely enrich the suppliers and the Doctors who prescribe them. Be natural, eat normal and drink plenty of water. You should stop drinking Milk unless you enjoy drinking it. Milk is for infants only; it will harm others(other than infants).Enjoy what life has provided you, wonderful-body, sun, moon. Do not think too much of your self.. ..Think about the less the privilised.. Rest will take care of itself.

Answer 3

first of all, you really don't need to spend money on vitamins, you can get it from real food. drink skim or 1%, milk, stay away from juices, eat fresh fruit all day long, and colored veggies, eat lean meat and fish, drink water instead of juice. more important eat breakfast,, fruit salad, egg, or low calorie toast brown bread or low sugar whole wheat cereals, sound like the flu you have, if it doesn't go away in a couple of days, should see the doctor. try to get 8 hours a night sleep, drink some green tea with honey and lemon. you can prevent flu's maybe by washing hands more. also if you have stress in your life it causes you to have a low immune system.

Answer 4

airborne.

For years I was sick for a week at the end of the school year (like 3rd grade to 6th grade) but after a while my immune system woke up and I haven't had anything more than a minor day cold since. Sometimes it takes time.

You could also go see a dr. to check for other conditions like anemia...

We have the hope of Heaven through Jesus.
