i am vegetarian. i often still get a cold or sinus infection. will specific vitamins or foods help prevent this?
in my opinion. no. colds are caused by viruses and no particular foods or vitamin (including vitamin c) or minerals (including zinc) has been found to offer cold and viral prevention. eat well. get a balanced vegetarian diet. and take supplemental vitamins if you want. it is a proven fact that a healthy lifestyle will be more immunoprotective against diseases. but certainly never 100% in our world of germs.
