While catching a cold can be inevitable part of living and working around people, the causes can vary.  Stress, poor diets, inactivity and not having enough time to relax can increase the chances of falling ill with a cold.  Fevers, headaches, runny noses and congestion can be avoiding by practicing three steps which are known to be preventative measures to getting sick.  Simple things like adding ingredients to your diet, exercising and adding elements to your daily routine can increase your immune system and decrease the chances of falling ill.

Diet

A healthy diet is an essential part of an active life.  Eating plenty of fruit helps prevent colds by boosting the immune system with vitamin C.  Vitamin C naturally increases white blood cells in the body.  These cells are one of the parts of the immune system and keeping a high level is both a good way to avoid illness and an essential part of healing when sick. Other ingredients to commonly cooked meals which have been found to prevent colds are garlic and ginger.  When eaten regularly combined with fruits and vegetables, the body's immune system is kept healthy and working to fight off every day germs.
