The immune system of children develops gradually and only by the age of 5-6 reaches the level of an adult. This is due to the slow formation of its own immunoglobulins, which protect the body from all kinds of infections and viruses. Therefore, the immunity of children must be maintained and strengthened in various ways.
Instructions
Step 1
The immunity of a child, like that of an adult, is present at different levels. For example, the palatine tonsils belong to the organs of the lymphatic system. They form lymphocytes that protect the body from various pathogens. Therefore, to preserve this function, prevent colds in children, and if they occur, carry out a full treatment. And for the prevention of frequent colds, temper the child with the sun, water, air, massage and gymnastics or exercises.
Step 2
To increase the child's immunity, maintain normal gastric secretion, since the bactericidal effect of gastric juice can disinfect and suppress pathogenic bacteria that enter the stomach with food. To do this, provide your child with proper nutrition that does not disrupt the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
Step 3
Be sure to make the child's diet balanced and varied, with a sufficient content of protein foods - meat, fish, dairy products, vegetable and fruit purees and juices, various cereals. This will replenish the baby's body with necessary and useful substances, the deficiency of which can lead to a violation of the secretory function of the stomach.
Step 4
An equally important protective barrier is the intestine. Thanks to lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, the intestinal walls produce their own interferon - a protein substance that increases immunity. Therefore, from the first year of a baby's life, take measures to prevent dysbiosis. To do this, again, create a healthy diet for the child, daily use of kefir or sour milk (at night), moderate consumption of sweets and baked goods, and the exclusion of harmful and unnatural products.
Step 5
To improve the child's immunity, give him multivitamins twice a year, temper and prevent hypothermia during periods of cold snaps. Protect your baby from various radiation - TV, computer and other equipment, as well as inhalation of tobacco smoke and other toxic substances. These negative factors can significantly reduce the child's immunity.
