There is a product called "Airborne" which is supposed to be good for preventing colds.

Most of the stuff in here is good, wash hands, good sleep etc. Also, doing yoga helps out alot against these kinds of things. My brother has been doing it for like 10 years and very rarely gets sick, he says everytime he feels a little "down" or whatever he does yoga and gets better very fast. He's taught me some but usually when I'm feeling a little sick I just wanna sleep it off instead, although I tried it a few weeks ago when I had a soar throat and felt better immediatly afterwards. I dunno, probably works great if you do it semi-regularly.

You can also get a flu shot at the beginning of flu season... my dad's been doing this for years and he hasn't gotten sick almost at all during that time.. and if he did, it was just minor sniffles for a day or two...

I got one because my company (an HMO) gives them free. I was immediately sick for a week. Since, I have been sick for a total of about three weeks. [censored] pointless. I will skip this excercise next year.

Yeah, everyone in my house started getting sick, and I started popping these, eating chicken soup, and cleaning everything possibly germ-infected in my room (doorknobs, etc). I felt like crap for about 10 hours, but overall managed to not get sick.

Don't go outside.

This is terrible advice. One of the reasons sickness is passed around more in winter is because people tend to stay in confined spaces with other people and pass germs around.
Outside is fine.

Wash Hands before eating, rubbing eyes, smoking, etc.

Drink one glass of OJ every morning (thats all the Vit. C your body needs. Anything more just gets pissed out anyway)

Drink up to a half gallon of water each day.

Get plenty of sleep.

Exercise is great for the immune system, as well as helping you sleep more.

I take Airborne at the start of any sniffle, and it keeps it down to like a day or two if you follow the directions.
