I seem to be getting sick (flu and fevers) a whole lot more than normal people do. I do travel 15hours a week on public transport so I think that may play a part, but im not sure if the lifting of heavy things makes my body more susceptible to getting sick?
Im going to start taking multivitamins, the ones n00bs recommends.
But is there anything else you think could help have in my diet? Its pretty well rounded at the moment. A lot of milk, eggs, whey, tuna and a variety of vegetables. Dont eat lots and lots of red meat tho, but would that effect anything to make me susceptible to getting sick?
Nutrients that have been demonstrated (in either animal or human studies) to be required for the immune system to function efficiently include essential amino acids, the essential fatty acid linoleic acid, vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, Zn, Cu, Fe and Se. Practically all forms of immunity may be affected by deficiencies in one or more of these nutrients. Animal and human studies have demonstrated that adding the deficient nutrient back to the diet can restore immune function and resistance to infection. Among the nutrients studied most in this regard are vitamin E and Zn. Increasing intakes of some nutrients above habitual and recommended levels can enhance some aspects of immune function. There is increasing evidence that probiotic bacteria improve host immune function

Vitamins do jack shit, they might reduce the severity, might.
