1. Keep a healthy and well balanced diet: Giving your body the nutrition it needs to fight infection is one of the best things you can do. However, make sure you eat healthy because what you eat could also be a contributing factor to being unhealthy if you eat the wrong things.
2.Exercise: By getting enough exercise you can get rid of infectious organisms through sweat. Also exercise decreases your chance of infection by slowing the release of the stress hormone cortisol.
3. Get plenty of sleep: Sleep is important because while you are asleep your immune system is busy re-building and repairing itself.
4. Wash your hands regularly: Proper hand washing is the most effective barrier against the spread of infectious diseases. Use warm water and lather your hands with soap. Wash for at least 20 seconds and rinse, letting the water run down from the wrist to the fingers.
