How can I strengthen my immune system?
Get more sleep. Your immune system needs time to repair, about seven to nine hours per night. You also need to get exercise to reduce your chances of catching a cold. Fix your diet. Reduce your intake of refined sugars and processed foods. Chicken soup is great for you.
A huge factor is toxic stress, meaning it drags you down. Slow down. Meditate. Do things that are joyful and fun. Work out to blow off steam. Get counseling if you need it. Interacting with others will help reduce your stress and improve your immune system.
How do I know if I am overtraining? What are the symptoms?
