In life, many mothers simply hate their immunity. Because the child is sick, when he goes to the hospital, the doctor always says it is due to low immunity. As a result, many mothers have tried every means to enhance their children’s immunity. Can this really prevent children from getting sick? Today, Doudehui takes everyone to find out what immunity is. What is immunity? Although we often talk about it, many people don’t understand it. In fact, it is our body\’s ability to resist external aggression and maintain the stability of the internal environment. To put it simply, it is the human body’s self-defense army that protects everyone’s health. It can automatically identify and destroy any invading foreign matter. If children have low immunity, they are easily infected by germs and bacteria, making them sick. But please note that higher immunity is not better. Excessive improvement will cause the child\’s immune system to become active, thereby inducing diseases. Therefore, you must not over-improve your child\’s immunity, such as taking various health products. Keep your child\’s immune system balanced. For children, keep their immune system balanced and they will be healthy. So, what do we do? 1. Insist on breastfeeding. This is the most important immune work. At present, more and more studies have proven that insisting on breastfeeding can benefit babies a lot. Not only can it promote better and healthier development of the baby\’s organs and systems, but it can also prevent many diseases, such as diarrhea, allergies, otitis media, pneumonia, asthma, meningitis, etc., as well as future diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, etc. The risk is lower and it is less likely to be obese. Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Academy of Pediatrics (APP), La Leche League International (LLL), the United Nations Children\’s Fund (UNICEF), and the Chinese Ministry of Health all advocate exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months, and encourage breastfeeding until the baby is 2 years old or above. Let me tell you here that even if the aunt comes again, the quality of the milk will not decrease, and it is still possible to provide a certain amount of immune substances for the baby. Formula milk powder can only be as close as possible to the nutritional content of breast milk, but it cannot provide the precious ingredients in breast milk such as antibodies and growth-promoting factors. 2. Vaccination: For the first-class vaccines, everyone must take their children to vaccinate them regularly, which can prevent a variety of infectious diseases. As for the second-category vaccines, parents can selectively vaccinate according to the actual situation of their children. Among them, it is recommended to vaccinate with five vaccines, the order of importance is Haemophilus influenzae vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine, influenza vaccine, varicella vaccine, meningitis AC conjugate vaccine, meningococcal 4-valent polysaccharide vaccine, and rotavirus vaccine. 3. Pay attention to your diet • Don’t eat junk food. Clinical findings show that compared with children who often eat junk food, children who basically do not eat junk food since childhood are less likely to get sick, and even if they do get sick, they can recover faster. In addition, the latter also performed better in terms of attention, learning ability and emotion after going to school. • It is advisable to eat more immunity-boosting foods. If your child\’s immunity is not good, you can eat more foods. Such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and other seafood. Here is a special list of foods that can enhance children\’s immunity: apples, garlic, papaya, mushrooms, nuts, spinach, strawberries, onions, salmon and other seafood, broccoli, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, flaxseed oil, sesame oil,Whole grain foods, etc., everyone must remember. • It is advisable to eat less highly processed foods as they are likely to contain food additives, trans fats, animal fats, artificial sweeteners, etc., which can damage the immune system. It is recommended that children eat more fresh foods or simply processed foods. 4. Do not abuse antibiotics. Many people mistakenly think that antibiotics are a panacea. In fact, they are only suitable for inflammation caused by bacteria. For example, if a child catches a cold, antibiotics are required only if the cause is a bacterial infection. However, most colds are viral and do not require the use of antibiotics. If antibiotics are abused, they will be very harmful to children and will destroy their body\’s immune function. 5. Supplement your children with VD in a timely manner. I believe all mothers know that VD can promote calcium absorption and regulate immunity. Several pediatric authoritative organizations can recommend that pregnant women and infants in the third trimester should supplement with VD. Under normal circumstances, breastfed babies can start supplementing 400 international units every day 15 days after birth. Formula-fed babies do not need to supplement when their milk volume reaches 1000ml. Otherwise, they need to supplement as appropriate. It\’s a good way to supplement VD when basking in the sun, but be careful to do it through glass and don\’t let the sun shine directly into your eyes to avoid overexposure. 6. Take your children for more outdoor activities and encourage them to exercise appropriately, which is good for physical health and maintaining a balanced immune system. It can also avoid various emotional problems and make your baby sunny and energetic. 7. Control your child’s weight well. Obesity will bring about many health problems, and the risk of arthritis, diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will also increase in the future. So don’t overfeed your child at every meal. 8. Allowing children to have high-quality and adequate sleep is an important prerequisite for ensuring normal physical and intellectual development of children. It can also help protect the balance of the immune system. Otherwise, the child will easily be in a bad mood, which will also be detrimental to growth and intellectual development. 9. Take good care of your child’s skin. You must know that the skin is the first line of defense of the immune system. It is recommended that after washing your face, taking a bath and drying your child, apply children\’s special skin care products to your child to protect their skin health. 10. Develop good habits such as drinking more water and washing hands frequently. These two good habits must be developed in children from an early age to help them stay away from diseases. The former can keep mucous membranes moist and effectively block bacteria, while the latter can prevent diseases from entering through the mouth. 11. Don’t be too clean and tell the truth. There is no need to deliberately pursue a sterile feeding environment. After all, we live in a sterile environment. You should know that if the home is too clean, the children will have too few opportunities to be exposed to germs, and the body will have difficulty producing antibodies. On the contrary, the resistance will be reduced and it is easy to get sick.
