Diet, supplements &: A healthy diet rich in fruits & vegies & avoiding sugar, fried foods and other immune stressors, a good multivitamin, & stress-reduction techniques are a good start. Many herbs can also enhance immune function such as ashwagandha, astragalus & medicinal mushrooms like reishi. Probiotics can also help. The road to immunity by kenneth bock md is a great book on comprehensive ways to boost immunity.
