10 colds a year? Are these kids immuncompromised? Or hypervaccinated?
A child with a healthy immune system (i.e gut flora, which come from diet), and good habits (thanks for stressing the importance of hand washing) should be able to fight off any minor bugs that come their way. Even the major ones (measles, influenza, etc.) are easily handled by a strong immune system.
My mother-in-law has a simple rule of thumb for keeping kids healthy: don't let them eat anything that didn't exist in their grandparents' day. A body that has never known high fructose corn syrup & monosodium glutamate is a lot less likely to get sick than one that eats them every day.
Thanks also for stressing that a smoke-free lifestyle is key. People who smoke in front of their kids (all other things being equal) simply don't love their children as much as non-smokers.
