Hi everyone! After catching the flu (again), I decided I need to do something about my health. So a quick google search and shifting through a lot of shady articles, I found this site, which looks pretty legit and helpful.
In an ideal world, I could post about my problem and someone would reply with the magical answer to everything. Unfortunately, I figure I'll need to go look up stuff myself. But as this is a pretty big site, and googling comes up with shady answers, I figured I should ask for directions.
A bit of background about myself: I am the person that catches every virus and bacteria that passes through the area, then stay sick for 3-4 weeks. And since I am currently a university student staying in dorms, that's obviously a problem. Another problem is I'm 1-2kg away from being underweight. Which is actually a big problem for me, skipped two meals and I'll start feeling faint. Asking advice from friends is impossible because how dare I try to put on weight when everyone is trying to do the opposite. Anyway, that's my two big problems. Moving on to my lifestyle.
Exercise-wise, I'm doing archery and horse-riding, which I know isn't a typical workout, but I do feel warm during and sore after, as opposed to running, which just leaves me in a world of pain. Gym membership here is pretty expensive for a non-regular-gym person to consider.
Food-wise, I've paid for hall food, so it seems like a waste not to eat it. A typical hall meal consists of three choices (one vegetarian) and salad. Any advice on what to get or avoid will be pretty neat. Recently, I've taken a friend's advice and have started eating a clove of raw garlic a day to boost immunity, so far all its done is burn my mouth.
Sorry for the long post, any pointers or advice will be much appreciated.
