One of my kids is a teacher and one a dental nurse two of the worse professions for picking up other people’s germs, I take a spoonful of honey every day and eat several portions of fruit and veg, I can’t remember the last cold I had, it’s no point trying things when your already going down you need to reinforce your natural immunity by taking these things year round, I  buy my honey from local bee keepers or the supermarket in winter when the locals are out and have never been stung acquiring it this way, also try eating plenty of fruit and veg as vitamin C is your friend and pot noodles or maccy Ds are not good sources of this vitamin, remember you are what you eat, end of dad speech

I always say your only as good as your last meal I don’t seem to suffer from colds at all I’m an outdoor worker which seems to help but I remember when I was young I had the usual colds that you get and I was dared to eat a cooking onion like you would an apple which I did after that I never had a cold that I could remember, Mr Sausage eat a big raw onion or Socks will be writing some nice words about you lol....

I think a big part of it is also related to stress and sleep, there's been a lot of research done on stress recently and it's amazing the physical impact it can have...

Not the best article but quick browse might find a more scientific one..

My father swore by raw onion and to be fair he rarely had a cold but did suffer with his chest, he did smoke all his life though. I remember one time I was fed up with a cold I got an onion and started to eat it like a apple. Well f**k that again Lol.

Been cutting back on the drink since new year eating loads of fruit no crisps etc in the evening. Every thing going great feeling really good then last Wednesday little tickle in my throat a little cough two hours latter coughing my heart up and loads of green shit. For nearly a week now I'm a phlegm tanker, ribs are killing me with so much coughing.

Can't remember the last time I had a cold or a cough now I'm sick to death with this f****r.

Cheers Arry

The grand kids are disease carriers. They go to nursery / school and get stuff . And we suffer for it. The worst was Norovirus.  Grandaughter got it gave it to mum,  wife went to help them and got it.  She came back and gave it to us.  We all lost a complete week.  Moral is, send wife don't let her come back !.  Norovirus is the worst thing I have ever experienced.  It is no fun to be sitting on the pan and throwing up into the bath at the same time whilst two others are fighting for the pan and the bath all at the same time. Or rolling about on the kitchen floor in agony and a cold sweat at 3 am. An illness you'd definitely wish on your worst enemy.  Colds = vitamin C.  Apple or Orange juice daily.
