Daily training. A lot of eggs and meat. ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿฅฉ No fast food, no softdrinks, no frozen pizza. And if flu symptoms really start I drink a lot of tea. I mean really a lotโ€ฆ like one cup after the other. So much that you can rent โ€šhotel toiletโ€™ for half of the day. Ribgrass mainly. Camomile and Peppermint too.

first I'd check my iron value as well as vit d. if too low substitute - can not recommend supplements without checking the current levels

I only get flu after traveling, but I luv traveling ๐Ÿ™ƒ
I donโ€™t care what you call it. I felt awful for two weeks and would like to avoid that going forward
1. ZERO SUGAR, ZERO ALCOHOL. 2. For real, no sugar or alcohol. 3. Vitamin C daily. Routinely I take 5g in the morning. Half and half ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate in lukewarm water. (The dosage may vary โ€“ if you're rushed to the toilet, decrease the dosage next time). If I feel any first symptoms of a cold, I take 5g several times during the day. Usually it's enough to stop the cold from developing. 4. My first symptoms is a slightly sore throat. If my vitamin C is not enough, I gargle with sage infusion. Sage is crazy effective. 5. Read the 1. again. The above method stops the virus from spreading in my system. I don't suffer from colds. The last time I had a fever or a cough. was during the covid years, because I missed the point 1. Nowadays I'm not affected by the cold/flu season at all.

Looks like you got a lot of advice here, but along with eating healthy and exercise. Meditation will help your body stay in a parasympathetic state and frees your mind from all the chaos (stress)
Kettlebell swings, walking a few miles a day (outside -- get that sunlight!), 8-9 hours of sleep whenever possible (ideally, at the same time each night, but hard when my kid's hockey practices are in the middle of the night and work starts at 5:30 am...), 8+ cups of water a day. I like Mud\Wtr for energy and general wellbeing I get from the blend of adaptogenic mushrooms, though am currently amassing the ingredients to start making my own at 1/5 the cost. Almost never sick, despite living with my kid and my wife who's a teacher. Oh, I and eat a lot of protein -- like 100-200g+ a day. And avoid most processed foods,though sometimes better than others on the sweets Processed here meaning most things from the middle of the grocery store -- I still love my casein protein powder, but prefer avoiding dyes, preservatives, stabilizers, conditioners, etc. Recently ditched seed oils in the kitchen. Also fasting for Ramadan for the second year in a row right now. Not a Muslim, but I know a practice that builds discipline,purity,and focus where I see one. Cutting down on food cravings when my wife and kid love showing up with pizza and other crap is always an uphill battle.

Some form of regular exercise, Vitamin D3, stay away from processed foods and fake sugar. Increase potassium input.
