How do i prevent getting so many colds?
I've always been pretty sickly growing up especially with respiratory colds, pneumonia and bronchitis. Now as an adult I still get four or five bouts of bad colds and bronchitis per year. My boyfriend hardly ever gets sick and we have the same diet, exercise habits. I assume I just have a low immunity but I was wondering if there were ways to help prevent colds. I know all about taking zinc and vitamin tablets. When I get hit with colds and bronchitis, I get hit pretty hard. Some people are able to still go to work and school but I find it pretty hard to leave the sofa. Anyone else out there who has the same problem or has suggestions?

Yes, this happened to me at one time in my life and the only thing that worked was having flu shots. That gave my body a chance to recover and build up my immunity again. Try pro-biotics as well as your multivitamin. Vit B is important and Vit C can't be stored in the body so you have to take it every day - preferably in the form of fresh citrus fruit.

I'm not sure how to prevent colds, but on the first day of your cold if you take a lot of vitamin C the cold will not last as long. The site in my source talks about the study of vitamin c.

The easiest thing to try is to get vitamin C pills at the store and take it daily. My brother works at a hospital and he takes vitamin C pills and he doesn't catch very many colds. Drinking orange juice helps also....but the pills are your best bet.
good luck!

Best prevention is washing your hands a lot and most importantly, keep your hands off of your face. If you pick up germs on your fingers and touch your eyes or nose, you'll most likely come down with a bug.
