How to strengthen the physical fitness of children who are prone to catching colds?

It is a common situation for children to have poor physical constitution during their growth and development. If a child has poor physical constitution for a long time, it will easily lead to frequent illness or colds, which is very harmful to the child's health. There are many ways to enhance the child's physical fitness. You can let the child exercise properly, have a regular diet and rest schedule, and develop good habits.

What to do if your child has poor physical condition

Establish good living habits for children

A healthy body is inseparable from good living habits, so it is quite necessary to make a scientific schedule for children to have a reasonable rest, study, activities, etc. Only in this way can children's physical fitness be truly improved.

Fixed sleep time

Children are in a period of rapid growth, and growth and development often take place during their sleep, so children sleep much longer than adults. We can find that children with low resistance and poor physical fitness usually do not like to sleep at night. It may be because playing computer, playing mobile phone, watching TV, doing homework and other factors affect their normal sleep time. This is what parents should pay attention to. Long-term shortened sleep time will have a great impact on the child’s physical growth. So if you want to enhance the child’s physical fitness, then first fix the sleep time.

Strengthen nutrition and enhance children's disease resistance

When a child is just weaned, be sure to choose nutritious, well-balanced, and easily digestible foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, beans, and fresh vegetables. At the beginning, you should feed some rotten rice or soft rice, the vegetables should be chopped and the fish should be deboned. Eating should be regular. In addition to three meals a day, you can add 1 to 2 servings of biscuits, soy milk, milk, fruits, etc.

Exercise and expose your child to sunlight, fresh air, and cold water

For babies who are just seven or eight months old, the best way to exercise is to let them crawl more; young children need appropriate comprehensive exercise, one and a half hours of exercise a day is appropriate, and they should often bask in the sun to prevent rickets. Frequent contact with cold water can promote the responsiveness of children's temperature regulation and enhance the body's ability to adapt to weather changes.

During the epidemic season, go out less and avoid contact with people with colds

If parents have a cold, it is best to wear a mask or use other methods to isolate them appropriately. Babies who suffer from recurrent colds can take some pidotimod granules or lactoferrin to enhance their resistance. Age is the most important factor affecting immunity. Young children are prone to illness because their immune systems are not yet mature. Newborns can only fight infection with the help of maternal immunoglobulin injected through umbilical cord blood during the fetal period. This type of globulin is gradually metabolized after birth, and the content is insufficient by 4 months. It is not until 6 months that the baby's own immunoglobulin gradually increases, and catches up with the adult level after 6 years old.

Drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits

For preschool children, a balanced diet and adequate intake of water and vitamins are very important, and eating fruits and vegetables is the only way for children to obtain the above nutrients.
