Falling in and out of illness

What signs do you look for when you are about to get sick? For me, its a sore throat. I know I'm about to catch the bug when I had one too many sugary drink. I usually start with coffee in the morning but at times I may get carried away with 2-3 more drinks for lunch. Yeah, I know.. not good. when this happens, I immediately go into recovery mode.

-Hydrate self with tepid water hot tea. No iced drinks
-Gargle salt water every other hour
-Avoid processes, oily, fast food
-Pack self with vitamin rich food such as vegetables, poultry, fish
-Get lots of sleep, at least 8 hours

Typically if I stick to this routine, I get better by day 3.

What is your routine? How does your body respond to illness?
