6 Ways To Improve Your Child’s Immunity
It is normal for young children to get fever, cough, or cold, in respectives. However, as parents and carers we must aim to ensure virus and bacteria do not disrupt their development. This is why boosting your child’s immunity system with these habits can be helpful:
- Breastfeeding
Research has shown that breast milk provides the best and complete nutrition for babies when they are born. The yellow colostrums, which come out in the early days after the labor, are proved to have antibodies that can protect babies from many illnesses, such as diarrhoea and meningitis.
- Consuming Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are great sources of vitamins and minerals, as well as other nutrients to boost your child’s’ health. Having them in daily menu can help prevent your loved ones from infection.
- Making Hygiene A Way of Life
Washing their hands with soap is a very good start. Always do it before having meals, after using bathroom, after playing, and after handling pets.
- Having Enough Sleep
Lack of sleep can lead to the decline of body’s immunity. Taking a nap everyday is a good way for young children to have enough sleep. If they refuse it, put them to bed earlier in the evening. Maintaining a nap time routine is still very important for young children’s growth and development.
- Exercises or Indoor/Outdoor Physical Activities
Let them take part in doing exercises or enjoy playing outside, where possible, because these activities will increase your kids’ endurance. Dancing, DIY obstacle course, ball games, jogging, walking, bicycle are examples of exciting activities you can do with young children.
- Saying No to Smoking
Research has shown that smoking is unhealthy around both children and adults. Smoking is even more damaging if adults do it in the house. It is better to let go of a bad habit for the sake of your child’s health.
These simple habits should help you recognise how important they are for your child’s immunity. Talk about this with your spouse and both of you can continue the developed routine for healthier children and family life.
