Staying healthy

A balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient rest are the basis of a strong immune system.

Boost your immunity with supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, glyco-nutrients, and vitamin and mineral supplements. Ask your doctor for advice.

If you're ill

Don't take antibiotics unless you have a bacterial infection.

Don't pressure your doctor for antibiotics and, if they're offered, check that they're really necessary.

Always take antibiotics at the stated frequency and finish the whole course - even if you feel better.
