I don't smoke, I don't have a bad diet, I am overweight but have been losing for a while now and I take vitamins and get flu shots, etc. The idea of not washing my hands after going to the bathroom makes me want to vomit.
I will however get a chest infection at the drop of the hat and that has been the case since I was a child.
However, I have noticed that since working at home I will 'catch colds' from other people much easier. Kids with a cold are a particular problem for me. I know my mother, who is a teacher, was pretty much immune to coughing, sick kids because she was around them all the time. Every now and then something one of the kids would get her but usually not.
I am not making up getting sick from 'english germs' when I first moved here. It was something I hadn't really thought about but when I started to work in an office environment (after about a month of living here) and being up close with so many people I got really sick. My doctor said that happens alot to people new to the country and that it would calm down once I built an immunity. It took me getting Mono (for my wedding noless) but I did build that immunity.
