The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a great impact on public health all over the world. In order to control it, many strategies had been adopted. Nevertheless, not enough emphasis has been given to improving the immune system of the persons, which is, probably, a better solution to this and other pandemics. With this purpose, an educative systemic solution has been developed. A Sustainable Systemic Health diploma course has been created and taught online during the 2020-2021 scholar year to students who learned about the following themes: 1- Health in Mexico and the world, 2- Food and Nutrition, 3- Physical Activity, 4- Hygienic Habits, 5- Systemic Health, and 6- Final work, where the students wrote a personal Healthy Habits Handbook, with the purpose of helping them to apply the healthy recommendations of this diploma course. The premises, objectives, and methods of this educative systemic experience (which has the purpose of improving the immune system of the students through the substitution of unhealthy for healthy habits) are explained in this paper. This experience has been applied at the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico during the 2020-2021 scholar year, with 23 graduate students.
