I always used to have a great immune system!
Maybe it’s inevitable with a child in school, me working in a school etc but I swear we get more colds than we used to… I only had one the other week and feel like crap again already!

Echinacea and zinc. Increase your intake of fruit and vegetables. From my experience my friends who are fussy eaters and hardly eat f&v, they get more colds and are longer than those who eat more.

Get an air purifier for bedroom

Take a good probiotic. Everyone’s gut is messed up with UPF and antibiotics, and most of your immune reaction comes from the gut.
