Aside from diseases, most of the factors which weaken immunity are preventable – such as:
- Stress: long-term chronic stress can damage and weaken immunity
- Lack of sleep: severe sleep deprivation diminishes white blood cells, your immune system’s front line of defence.

- Take Vitamin C – I recommend Ester C, Scorbi-Cee and Super-Cee
- Take Vitamin D3 Premium – one a day

- Find ways to relieve your stress
- Work on your weight to remain at a good, constant weight
