Sleep, diet, supps: Stress & sugar impair immune function so minimize stress & avoid sugar! get adequate sleep. Certain vits & minerals support immune function, esp. A, c, d & zinc, so a good multivit with additional vit d is wise. Certain herbs also boost immune function- a favorite is andrographis;consider a combo product like wellness formula by source naturals.Include saccharomyces boulardii in your probiotics.
