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 ?

    Maybe ask your local pharmacist if there's any vitamn or mineral you might be lacking in.

    It sounds as though you eat more vegetables than a lot of people, there's nothing wrong with frozen peas, most frozen veg is actually fresher than a lot of fresh veg, as its been frozen within a few hours of being picked and that retains the nutrients better than some fresh veg thats been hanging around for days
