A photo: firestockReferences of pediatricians, immunologists and personal experience have made it possible to compile the top 10 best ways to strengthen immunity for both children and adults. Many ways to strengthen immunity, which we will now talk about, are not new, but they are time-tested and effective.
1. Walk, walk and walk again
To prevent your children from becoming “indoor” children, take them for walksthem in any weather. Most likely, there were no problems with this in the summer. Do not lose the habit of being outdoors in the fall! Most often, on a cold and rainy autumn day, you do not want to go outside with your child. But you need to overcome yourself! Children - both big and small - should breathe fresh air every day. This is an axiom that does not require proof. Staying outdoors hardens a child and increases his resistance to respiratory infections, i.e. it becomes a universal preventive, and often a therapeutic remedy.
2. More fruits, berries and vegetables
Fruits, berries and vegetables contain livevitamins. One of the best in the fight against colds, vitamin deficiency and other seasonal diseases is lemon. Its pulp contains a lot of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is actively consumed in any disease. Dress salads with lemon juice. This live jam will also be healthy and tasty. Pass the lemons together with the peel through a meat grinder and mix with sugar 1:1. Your child does not like lemon? Give him kiwi! Kiwi has no less vitamin C. Many live vitamins are contained in autumn berries (viburnum, sea buckthorn, cranberry, chokeberry). Prepare a cocktail for immunity for your child: mash the berries, mix with honey to taste and add a little warm boiled water. Let the child drink this cocktail until the cold season is over.
3. Temper the neck
Any child will enjoy this type of hardening.Of course – ice cream is useful here like nothing else! Eating ice cream is an excellent hardening procedure. If the throat is accustomed to the cold, viruses are not scary for it. Gargling with water will also be very useful – first with room temperature, then with increasingly colder water. It is good if the child washes his face and hands with cold water.
4. Adequate load
The main factor that provokes diseasesschoolchildren, are under heavy loads - they are what undermine the immune system. If he sits at school from Monday to Friday, and also attends 3-4 clubs, then, rest assured, this is too much for a growing body. And if we add external factors to this (change of season, excessive dampness and being at school, where there are sure to be several sick children), then we get a lot of health problems. Therefore, the first thing that all parents should do is to unload the child as much as possible.
5. Allow the child to sleep
If a child does not get enough sleep, his immune system will be weakened.the body quickly deplete, which leads to a decrease in immunity. Children should never sit at homework until late. Teach your child to control the time of homework, show how to do it as quickly as possible and leave time for rest and entertainment.
