School has already started. And if you worry about scaring them away lice not enough, we also have to worry about keeping viruses and bacteria at bay. Take action to boost the immune system it's a great idea to get it.
Surely you've already heard many things, among them, that nothing happens because children get sick, that thus "immunize" and nonsense like that. Well, look, what do you want me to tell you, for a child to fall ill several times a year, year after year, it seems to me that this famous "science theory of walking around the house" has been made on the ground. If you want your child to be stronger and have a powerful immune system that allows him to resist "invasions" and recover quickly if they affect him, what you have to do is something else. In fact, you all have to do it at home, become a family immune strong. And it is possible to achieve it. Then I will tell you how.
Follow a healthy and balanced diet
The first rule of thumb for a healthy body is to eat right. Health enters through the stomach. Your diet should include a good amount of foods rich in antioxidants, which are important for maintaining the proper functioning of the immune system. A healthy diet rich in immune-boosting foods helps the body build white blood cells that fight infection and repair cells after injury.
For this reason, fruits and vegetables, both raw and cooked, cannot be absent from the diet. My personal tip: aloe vera mixed with fresh juice in the mornings and green smoothies throughout the day (my kids love them).
Exercise
Studies have shown that regular moderate exercise can improve immune system function. This is because it can increase the activity of white blood cells and increase their circulation throughout the body. Just 30 minutes a day can increase the activity of the immune system. In contrast, over-exercising can have a negative effect; in fact it can lower immunity.
Get enough sleep
Research has shown that sleep is essential for the health of the immune system, in both adults and children, as well as for general well-being. Lack of sleep has been linked to various cognitive and health problems, including increased risk of obesity, diabetes and heart problems. Not getting enough sleep can also lead to impaired hormonal function and reduced inability to fight infection.
Keep stress under control
Psychological factors can also affect the immune system. Both chronic and temporary stress can have physiological effects that can reduce the body's ability to fight infection. Stress has been shown to reduce the number and effectiveness of cells that fight natural infections.
Although some degree of stress is unavoidable for both adults and children, it is important to heed the signs that your child may be stressed. Try to manage your child's stress and do what you can to keep your own stress under control.
Laugh and have a good time
Studies have shown that laughter can boost immune system function by increasing antibody-producing cells and helping cells do their jobs more effectively. Laughter has also been shown to lower levels of stress hormones, while increasing endorphins, which are the feeling-good hormones.
Avoid bad habits that affect the immune system
Some habits can negatively affect the immune system. Smoke from them is smoking. Secondhand smoke too. Foods high in saturated fat and excessive sugar consumption also play a role. Sleeping too little and living a busy life that causes too much stress also depresses the immune system.
