      In terms of what you can actively do, I’d say be up to date with your vaccinations, that’s probably the most important. Other than that, having a healthy lifestyle (by that I mean exercising and eating a balanced and varied diet, nothing more specific) is probably next best.
      Your immune system needs to be exposed to microbes to work properly, so I’d say you shouldn’t try to actively avoid every possible bug.
