2. Keep your mucous membranes (nostrils, mouth, eyes) moist with proper hydration.
3. Clean your hands. When soap and warm water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers (at least 60% alcohol) may be used.
4. Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth.
5. Drink plenty of fluids. Water flushes your system, washing out the poisons as it rehydrates you. (How can you tell if you're getting enough liquid? If the color of your urine runs close to clear, you're getting enough. If it's deep yellow, you need more fluids.)
6. Get fresh air. A regular dose of fresh air is important, especially in cold weather when central heating dries you out. (Also, during cold weather more people stay indoors, which means more germs are circulating in crowded, dry rooms.)
7. Some foods might also help. Fruits and vegetables have natural chemicals that help your body use their vitamins. Some studies have shown that eating a daily cup of low-fat yogurt can reduce your susceptibility to colds by 25 percent. Researchers think the beneficial bacteria in yogurt may stimulate production of immune system substances that fight disease.
8. Avoiding cigarette smoke is also good. Statistics show that heavy smokers get more severe colds and more frequent ones. Even being around smoke profoundly weakens your immune system. Smoke dries out your mucous membranes.
9. Avoid people who are sick.
10. Some people recommend that you take 1/4 tsp of Diamond V - XPC Yeast Culture every day, which is the powder they give to race horses to keep them from catching colds. See the related link below.

∙ 13y agoRest: Sleep AT LEAST 10 hours per day. This is very important because your body needs to get as much rest as possible.
Hygiene: Keep clean by washing (bath/shower), washing hands after using the loo and brushing teeth, cutting finger/toe nails and washing hair and brushing it with good shampoo/conditioner.
Water: Make sure you drink a lot of water through out the day: it's important to keep a working body hydrated throughout the day.
Food: Eat 3 meals per day. Breakfast is most important, and dinner least. Eat at east 5 fruit/veg per day for a healthy body.
Now and Again: Every now and again, go for check ups at your local doctor to see if anything is wrong.

One way people thought it was an easier way was to get the illness first then your body is amuned to it and it would be harder for you to get sick from that specific illness. But now there are many ways you can prevent with medications and vaccines with a doctor or hospital. You can find vaccines at a local pharmacy near you.
