Learn how to make over family favourite recipes by cutting out fats, salt and sugar. Substitute non fat yoghurt for cream, stir fry minus oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt for flavour.

Don't smoke, don't drink too much alcohol and don't eat alot of sugar because I think all of these weaken the immune system. Echincea is very good for the immune system, you can buy herbal teas containing this from most supermarkets or health stores. Also I think cod liver oil is very good at keeping you healthy, as is fresh fish. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and drink lots of water. I know that garlic, especially raw is extremely helpful for keeping colds away!
Also the more you socialise with lots of people the better your immune sytem becomes...laughing works wonders too and thinking positivly!!!
Hope this helps :D

most spicy things speed up your metabolism and thus help your immune system...garlic helps the immune system fight off disease...regular hygiene is a bonus...and the best method but least liked is exposing yourself to germs to boost immune system similar to getting a flu shot, which has the flu virus in it to make you just a little sick and kick start your immune system...

Taking a multi-vitamin (which also includes Vitamin C) can be very helpful with fighting off colds.
My multi-vitamin is a prenatal vitamin that I buy over the counter at my local Wal-Mart.
Yes, I did check with my dr to be on the safe side since I have never been pregnant and she said it was all right. Check with your dr to see if it's safe for you to take if you should decide to take it.

I take a chewable Vitamin C every night. I've done so for about two years and haven't even so much as had a cold.
