Immune System

Careful with "too" much vitamin c ..... Or you will be visiting the lavatories frequently.

That is true, but that's when you know you have reached the upper limit for Vitamin C intake. You can back it down a fraction when that happens!

All the stuff the other guys said plus 5000iu's of Vitamin D3

D3 will be looking into adding that too

Lately subway every meal I don't eat a lot of veg or fruit. And the sub I get is chicken bacon

You know man I've noticed with my eating habits if my diet is cleaner, I get sick less. And overall I feel better.

But I think a good starting point are some supplements. Then maybe go from there.

I have couple of the ones listed in the thread.

Yeah, that's my point. I haven't had a cold or flu in about 3yrs and pretty much fruit and vegetables are the mainstay of my diet. My wife doesn't eat as much fruit and veg, she gets at least one cold a year, usually a couple.

Diet wise if you place emphasis on foods that are in their natural state ~ whole and/or raw. Other types ideally that you should be consuming would be fermented and sprouted foods ~ FANTASTIC for digestion, overall gut health and immunity.

This. Get as much fruit & veg as you can. Just as MF says in as raw a state as possible. Keep it as a source of nutrition till end of your days.

That also hurts you. You need to get in green veggies at least 2-3x day. I'd suggest start adding in green smoothies. Sounds ghey but it makes a difference and I suggest smoothies instead of eating kale, spinach, aspargus, green beans, etc b/c you work crazy long hours so you probably don't have time to prepare much of anything.

I agree ~ besides those kind of things are best if you can juice them. Quicker than eating them and you can actually get a lot of veges down you that way.

... and if you're juicing (haha) you might as well throw beets into the mix as well. They are a good source of nitrates as well as being great for the liever due to their blood cleansing properties. All of this stuff will ultimately help how well your immune system functions.

Subway is convieneint and everything, and I like going there. I go there maybe once or twice a week.

I usually get: 12' Italian bread, oven roasted chicken with provolone cheese, mayo and chipotle, and a couple different vegetables.

But I wonder how "processed" there stuff is.

It seems like you CAN make a healthy order there, if you pass on the cheese, and go easy on the mayo, but isn't it still like semi fast food?

I mean at a deli for a similar sandwich, they cook their meat on site don't they?

Subways meat comes from a plant right?
