Having a strong immune system is key in avoiding illness at school. The combination between academic stress and late night studying tends to create a weakened immune system. Try to consume foods that give your immune system an extra kick, specifically foods containing Vitamin A. Some Vitamin A rich foods include:
Sweet potatoes
Carrots
Spinach
Cantaloupe
Mangoes
Apricots
Red bell peppers
Parsley
Asparagus
Romaine lettuce
Tomatoes
Winter squash
Vitamin supplements are an alternative option should your diet not be efficient in providing you with proper vitamins. A daily multiple vitamin can be taken, but please note that these products are called supplements for a reason. Try to obtain your daily doses of vitamins by eating properly, and use the supplement as a means of providing the vitamins you may lack in your daily food intake.
