Diet & immune system

Magnolia1

I have a v restricted (beige) diet, always have done. I take multi vitamins plus extra vitamin D. My sister keeps having a go at me. She says my diet is why I get colds all the time. I think it's because I am a primary school teacher & I am around more germs then most. Before Covid I had built up a good immune system but since then, not so much. This is the second cold I have had in 2 months. 

Tomorrow I have my self employed day & if I don't work I don't get paid. I cant afford to be ill and yet here I am ear ache, sore throat  sneezing away & feeling so v tired. (Again)

Can't really do much about my diet as there are only certain things I can cope with eating. Any other suggestions? How do I shut my sister up ?

    Okay, you sound so organised with taking multivitamins and have been vaccinated. I don't think there is much more you could do. Have you explained what you have done? I agree that you are working in a Primary School so you are around more germs than most. Have you asked your sister what she expects from you or suggests, It sounds like you are not doing too badly at all.

    She wants me to eat more vegetables and fruit but I can only eat carrots, runner beans , broccoli and lots and lots of peas. 

    I get a Tesco shop on a Friday and lots of veg doesnt last a week. 

    Frozen peas are so quick & easy to cook.

    I think she thinks I can suddenly change my sensitivity to taste & texture over night
