Preventing and curings colds and flus

[RDJ]

Ive been taking lots of vitamins. Ill look into the other 2 things.

Thanks.

How's your fat intake btw? Not enough of it will prevent you from absorbing certain vitamins (A,D,E and K). Not saying it's likely, but many sport fanatics seem to be scared of fats.

Yeah lots of good advice in here, I would suggest hot/cold showers or the equivalent of as well.. Gotten into the habit of going from the sauna to a cold shower at my gym after workouts and I haven't been sick in eons.. Kind of a health nut though I hardly eat any refined sugar or flour, preservatives etc. whatsoever unless I eat out which I've been doing way to much of lately. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on avoiding germs and that sort of thing as it can become an obsessive thing and obviously if you work around a lot of dust you are bound to be breathing it in. Try doing some basic conscious breathing as well, make sure you are warming up and cooling down properly when you train. It's simple and easy yet so many people just ignore this along with stretching. Basic inversions(headstands are great, anything with your feet above your head though) are excellent as well, anything that increases blood flow to the brain.
