Lifestyle mod: Consider lifestyle modifications to stimulate a healthier immune system. Salt water gargles shorten the duration and intensity of colds. Dark green leafy vegetables like salad concentrate immune function in the mucous membranes and protect your from getting sick. Cutting dairy eliminates the slime layer that may help bacteria stick to your throat mucosa. Get enough sleep and eat your vegetables.
