I always catch a cold very easily. is there anyway i can strengthen my immune and not so prone to flu/cold?

Viral illness: Keep up your immunizations, particularly influenza yearly, stay away from people with active infections and wash you hands thoroughly if you touch anyone who has been coughing or sneezing. There are no specific means of increasing your immune system besides staying healthy and eating a healthy diet.
