Ways to increase children's immunity

I believe everyone knows the importance of resistance to us. Resistance is even more important for growing children. If a child’s resistance is too low, it will not only easily cause disease to the body but also easily affect the child’s growth and development. So how should we improve children’s resistance? There are many ways to improve children's resistance. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Drink plenty of water

To ensure health, children should be made to understand the importance of drinking water as much as possible. Let your children carry water bottles when they go to school or go out, keep a bottle of water in the car at all times, and require everyone to drink water at dinner. Make drinking water a good habit, and you will also find another benefit of water: even if it is accidentally spilled, it will not stain your clothes.

Don't be too clean

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.

Teach your children to wash their hands

Especially washing your hands after going to the toilet can prevent diseases such as diarrhea or urinary tract infections.

Sufficient sleep. Poor sleep will reduce the number of T cells in the body responsible for fighting viruses and tumors, and increase the chance of illness. 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.

Discuss with your child the body’s ability to heal itself

Dr. White, the leader of the study, pointed out that by contacting other children and being exposed to infectious agents, the child's immune response can be stimulated, his immune system can be strengthened, and the chance of reacting to allergens and causing asthma can be reduced.

Sugar reduction

A diet high in sugar will interfere with the immune function of white blood cells.

reduced pressure

Studies have shown that the more stress you are under, the more likely you are to catch a cold. Teach your children relaxation techniques, arrange activities appropriately, and don't let stress overwhelm your children's immunity.

Eat more fruits and vegetables

Children are prone to picky eating habits, and unbalanced nutrition can cause the lung and digestive tract mucosa to become thinner, reduce antibodies, and affect the body's defense function. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, which can increase the number of phagocytes; strengthen the activity of natural killer cells; build and maintain mucous membranes and collagen tissues to help wounds heal.

Health Products

Compared with adults, immunodeficiency is more common in children, and it is important to distinguish the types of immunodeficiency. It is incorrect to blindly use immunity-boosting drugs or health products.

In the above article, we introduced the importance of resistance for children. We recommend that parents pay attention if they find that their children have low resistance. They can use the methods introduced above to increase their children's resistance.
