How to improve children's physical fitness most effectively

Children are the treasures of their parents, and every parent hopes that their children grow up healthily. However, with the current severe air pollution, unsafe food, and more than twice the number of viruses than before, many children have poor physical constitutions and are prone to illness, which makes parents very anxious. We supplement children with nutrition every day and let them exercise regularly to improve their physical fitness. We hope that their children will be strong and healthy. So how can children strengthen their physical fitness?

Drinking plenty of water can keep the mucous membrane moist, which becomes an important line of defense against bacteria. The immune system can form immune memory against infectious agents, so if it encounters them again, it can quickly eliminate them. If your home is too clean, your child will not have the opportunity to produce antibodies through infection, and their resistance will be weakened, which may lead to allergies and autoimmune disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that antibacterial cleaning products can make the problem of microbial resistance worse; and the American Medical Association has also called on the public to avoid using cleaning products containing antibacterial ingredients, because these products may be the source of drug-resistant microorganisms. The cleaning effect can be achieved by using ordinary soap and water.

Poor sleep can reduce the number of T cells in the body that are responsible for fighting viruses and tumors, thereby increasing the chance of getting sick. Experts recommend that growing children need 8 to 10 hours of sleep a day. If your child doesn't get enough sleep at night, let him take a nap during the day. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2000, children under the age of 13 who spend time with older siblings or other children in childcare are half as likely to develop asthma later in life. Dr. White, the lead researcher on the study, pointed out that exposure to infectious agents through contact with other children can stimulate a child's immune response, strengthen his immune system, and reduce the chance of reacting to allergens and causing asthma.

According to the introduction in the above article, we know that in addition to supplementing the various nutrients needed for a day, in order to enhance physical fitness, we must also insist on exercising, participate in more outdoor sports, and breathe fresh air, so that our bodies can become stronger and we will not always be sick and take medicine. So parents should pay attention. Although learning is important, children should also have free time to go out and play and breathe fresh air.
