Learn how nutrition, sleep, and healthy habits can support immune health.
A child’s immune system is still developing as they grow and encounter new germs, which is why they may need extra support (with proper diet and exercise). Good habits can help strengthen their natural immune defenses. Here are some simple habits to support your child’s immune system (with proper diet and exercise:
1. Proper Nutrition
You can help strengthen your child’s immunity by providing them with nutritious foods as part of a balanced diet. These foods can provide essential nutrients that support a healthy immune system:
Vegetables – provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber
Fruits – rich in vitamins and antioxidants
Whole grains – provide fiber and essential nutrients
Protein-rich foods – support growth and tissue repair (with proper diet and exercise)
Yogurt and other probiotic-rich foods – help support gut health (with proper diet and exercise)
2. Healthy Body Clock
Enough sleep helps support your child’s growth, development, and immune health (with proper diet and exercise). Getting enough rest allows the body to recover and recharge, which is important for growing children. Regular physical activity can also support overall health, strengthen the body, and help children sleep better at night.
3. Immune Boosters
Vaccines help prepare your child’s immune system to recognize and fight specific germs (with proper diet and exercise). Keeping up with recommended vaccinations helps protect children from serious, vaccine-preventable illnesses as they grow.
Make sure they get regular check-ups with their pediatrician to keep their vaccinations up to date.
4. Food Supplements
When children don’t get enough nutrients from their diet, food supplements can help fill nutritional gaps and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Immunomax is a food supplement that contains CM-Glucan. CM-Glucan is a natural immunomodulator that’s 100x more absorbable than standard Beta-Glucan, produces more antibodies vs Vitamin C, and helps balance the immune system (with proper diet and exercise).
If your child experiences frequent or severe infections, it may be a sign that your child’s immune system needs attention, so it’s best to discuss these concerns with their pediatrician, who can determine if further evaluation is needed.

From Araw to Aircon: How Temperature Swings Affect Immunity It’s not just the weather! In the Philippines, it’s common to blame sudden colds or sniffles on unpredictable weather. One moment it’s blazing hot under the sun, suddenly you’re shivering in an air-conditioned room. While it may seem like the culprit is the climate itself, the reality is more nuanced— temperature swings, rather than just the weather, can affect our immune system.
The past two years have been eventful which led into many changes in our society, especially in the workforce. With many companies permanently adapting the hybrid setup where there is a balance between working onsite and remotely, such major change would also require major adjustments from many employees.
