Help! How can I prevent getting a cold?

Question:

I really don't want to get a cold as my school production is next week and goes for 5 days. My immune system isn't that good as I've had 5 colds in 6 months. I have insomnia and with the production, I won't be getting too much sleep which will make my immune system even worse. Also, alot of people around me have a cold. How can I prevent getting a cold?

Answers:
Wash hands frequently, increase water intake. Add 1000 mg Vit. C & 15 mg Zinc daily. Keep calorie intake consistent & you might try short term Tylenol P.M. for your insomnia. Sleeping is so important in keeping your immune system strong. Good luck with your production!

by eating and drinking hot. =) just kidding! just take your vitamins especially VITAMIN C because it will help your immune system in good condition. just drink 2-3 liters of water everyday and eat right, eat fruits and vegetables at the right time and right amount.

Hi, you can prevent a cold by taking plenty of Vitamin C.
If you don't like taking Vitamins, then drink lots of Pure Orange juice.
Eating Oranges, Cantaloupe, & Yogurt is good for your Immune System. (Plus oranges also have plenty of Vitamin C in them). Hope this helps.
