Here are four healthy habits to help boost your child’s immune system.
How can you protect your child from back-to-school germs? The back-to-school season can bring with it an increased risk of germs and illnesses. It's important to help your child build a strong immune system that can fend off harmful pathogens. Here are four healthy habits that can boost your child's immunity:
- A Healthy Diet
"Fueling the Body with Essential Nutrients"
A healthy and balanced diet is crucial for supporting the immune system. Encourage your child to eat a variety of foods from the five major food groups: vegetables, fruits, starchy carbohydrates, protein, and dairy. This will provide their bodies with essential nutrients and energy to fight off germs and infections.
- Adequate Sleep
"The Power of a Good Night's Rest"
Getting enough sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. Encourage your child to get a good night's sleep every night, as this can improve their immunity, academic performance, memory, and behavior.
- Physical Activity
"The Benefits of Exercise"
Physical activity is important for children's overall health and can also support their immune system functions. Encourage your child to be active and engage in physical activities that they enjoy, such as sports, dancing, or playing outside.
- The Use of Probiotics
"Taking Care of the Gut and Boosting Immunity"
The majority of the immune system is located in the gut, which makes taking care of the gut an important step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Reuterina junior® and Reuterina® Vit D drops are probiotic products that can help support the gut's functions, including boosting the immune system. These products are available from Dis-Chem, Clicks stores, and independent pharmacies nationwide.
Build a strong and resilient immune System
By incorporating these four healthy habits into your child's daily routine, you can help them build a strong and resilient immune system that can help them fight off germs and illness this back-to-school season and beyond.
