Back to school is often a time when children can be exposed to a variety of pathogens, as they are in close contact with other children and share enclosed spaces. Children's immune systems are critical in defending against these illnesses. Here are some key points about children's immune systems and how to prepare for back to school:
1. It is important to teach children about the importance of preventive measures, such as frequent hand washing, covering their mouths and noses when sneezing or coughing, and avoiding close contact with sick people. These practices help reduce the spread of disease and keep the immune system in a better position to cope with infections.
2. Adequate nutrition: A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system. Make sure your child receives a variety of nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, through a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains.
Adequate sleep: Sleep is essential for proper immune system function. Make sure your child has a consistent sleep routine and gets enough sleep to help strengthen their immune system.
4. Stress management: Chronic stress can weaken the immune system. Help your child manage stress through activities such as play, exercise and open communication.
5. Appropriate supplementation: You can check the possibilities of supplementation for children with your therapist or paediatrician, to find the best and appropriate supplement for your child's needs. At Tribu Naturals you can see verified and certified natural supplements for children.
8. Consult a health professional: If you have concerns about your child's health, immune system or how to prepare your child for back to school, it is advisable to consult a paediatrician or other health professional.
