Since doing so I've never had so much illness... Currently nursing my second bout of a bad temperature in a couple of months and had to cancel all engagements this week...
So, I was wondering if any more experienced frequent flyers have any health tips -- do you abstain from alcohol, take supplements, try and implement some sort of regular sleep pattern (often impossible)?
Any tips would be very very much appreciated as I feel increasingly run-down by it...
Thank you

I take a small vitamin C and zinc supplement. Medics in the family say I am wasting my money.....as I am fit as a fiddle and they are coughing and snuffling their way through yet another of their frequent colds or whatever.
