The best way to avoid sickness during cold season is by reducing your risk and boosting your immune system.

Reduce your risk by washing your hands and avoiding touching your face; especially mouth and eyes.

Improve your immune system by getting plenty of sleep. Lack of sleep results in a dramatic decrease in your immune system health. Nazi experiments on sleep deprivation actually killed prisoners from common illnesses like colds because their immune systems were so poor. A well-balanced, diet rich in fruits and vegetables will insure that your body has all the ingredients it needs to be strong and healthy. Good health cannot be accomplished without exercise; 20 minutes a day is all you need.

I swear by Oil of Oregano. It is really potent stuff that works! I take a regular maintenance dose of only 2 drops per day, and it keeps me healthy. If I feel a bit under the weather - sore throat, etc. - I will take 1 drop an hour, and I am fine the next day. Try it!
