With cold and flu season upon us, some simple lifestyle changes and help improve your immune system and keep you healthier. Bad health habits can slow your immune system. That’s why doctors urge you to make certain lifestyle changes.

To get started, lower your stress -- it's the most important change you can make. A steady flow of stress hormones makes it hard for your body to keep you well. Relaxation techniques, daily exercise, and stress-management techniques can all help.

Next work on getting enough sleep.You need 7 to 8 hours of shut-eye each night to boost your defenses.

Exercise also helps your immune system perform at a high level.

These tactics also bump up your levels of IgA, a protein in your immune system that fights infections. It helps keep threats out of your body -- and zaps any that do get in.

Finally, make good hygiene a habit. Nothing beats the power of frequent hand washing to keep germs at bay. Wash them for as long as it takes you to sing “Happy Birthday” twice.

Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, limit junk food.

Get outside even in cold weather for a bit dressing in layers and hat.

Get your spine adjusted to keep your nervous system working properly with no interference that might affect your immunity.
