What do I do to help with an immunity normally - eat a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruit and veggies, get lots of sleep - at least 8 hours a night, engage in moderate exercise (that's easy running after 5 kids) and as a supplement I take Vitamin B 6 & B 12, Vitamin D, Magnesium and a pro biotic daily.

My first 5 years in home care I found I was rarely sick maybe the odd rotavirus symptoms... however I came from working in centre to home so the exposure to germs for me was 'lessened' by the home childcare of 5 clients verses centre cares 75 clients through the doors daily ... in centre care it was not uncommon to use 12-18 sick days a year easy due to all the germs you were exposed to - mostly vomiting and diarrhea to be honest more so than colds although got my fair share of ear infections even as an adult while in centre care???

This winter was not a good one to gauge illness on though cause I ended up with a strain of pneumonia I could just not kick and my lungs are still not back to normal capacity - I have been not myself for almost three months now however I only took 2 days off work when I started the treatment and have plugged away since.
