Biggest immune thieves
1/ If you actively fighting an infection reduce your sugar intake from lollies, chocolate, soft drink, fruit juice, dried fruit, cakes, biscuits, ice cream etc, as even one teaspoon of sugar reduces your immune function for 6 hours! 
It’s much better to go and eat a whole orange, or if a cold is coming on, make yourself a warm lemon and honey drink.
2/ Not getting your daily dose of fresh air, sunshine and exercise. A 30 minute walk each day really is good medicine, so get out there! Go alone for some peace and quiet, or take a family member with you.
3/ Over doing the hand sanitiser. There is no need to use hand sanitiser at home. Hand washing is actually more effective. Anti-microbial soaps and hand sanitisers actually kill your good gut bacteria, as well as killing germs. It is the health and diversity of your gut microbiome (friendly gut bugs) which ultimately keeps your immune system in tip top shape.
Look after your immune system, and your immune system will look after you!
