I was constantly sick as a young child and I guess that boosted up my immune system since I'm generally healthy today.
How do you guys go about keeping a strong immune system? I'm pretty sure none of us like being sick so everyone's gotta have some way of preventing harmful germs into their body.
For me, I take multivitamins and drink chamomile tea. I swear chamomile heals almost everything.
I am a ridiculous hand sanitizer. Though sometimes I get lazy and I don't do it, I try to keep my hands generally clean. Oh and I take vitamins too, to compensate for the vitamins that a medicine I take removes. Trying to eat healthy as well, although that's more to do with weight loss than preventing sick. Oh and I got a flu shot too.
Overall, sometimes I get sick, and sometimes I don't. It's not too excessive, but not enough to say that I have a crazy good immune system. Or maybe it is. I don't really know who I'm comparing myself to, and what the standards are.
Unless you do not eat a proper diet, there is no reason to take multivitamins and chances are you're just wasting your money.
See above with respect to wasting money on vitamins, but you're also doing yourself a disservice by using hand sanitiser (except where alcoholic) instead of just a good old bar of soap. Studies have shown
My doctor tells me to take Vitafusion Multivites.
Hand sanitizers for on-the-go purposes. We don't carry a bar of soap with us in our bags or pocket after grabbing on to rails in a subway station. If there's a bathroom, soap. No bathroom, hand sanitizer.
If your doctor recommends that you must be one of the few who may require supplements, but it's very important to understand that healthy individuals do not require vitamin supplements and there is no evidence to suggest vitamin supplements benefit healthy individuals.
If you don't suffer from any sort of health issues I'd consider getting a new doctor.
Don't worry about it.
My doctor's been the same for a very long time and I've had no complaints. I trust his judgment. I lack nutrition so he recommends multivitamins along with a better diet. So don't play doctor with me before knowing my medical history.
