Studies show that at two years of age, a child’s immune system is underdeveloped and only fully matures when they reach 7-8 years. Because of this, it’s important for parents to start taking care of their child’s immunity early on in life. Here are a few ways you can help the development of your child’s immune system:
Ensure routine checkups with their pediatrician and vaccines are up to date. Seeing their pediatrician regularly allows you to assess if your child has any underlying growth or development issues that might affect their immunity. Knowing these can actually help you.
Vaccination is also essential to assuring that your child’s immunity develops properly. We suggest working with their pediatrician to plan a proper schedule for them.
Maintain proper home management. It sounds surprising, but home management plays an important role in your child’s immunity. Things like getting air and water filters changed on time or doing the laundry regularly goes a long way in providing your child with a clean and stress-free environment.
Observe good hygiene. Protecting your child from exposure to bacteria and viruses while their immune system is still developing will definitely help. When going outside with them, always encourage them to clean their hands regularly.
Keep them active. Physical exercise may result in fewer infections among children, which is important in ensuring that their immune system develops properly.
Give them immunity-reinforcing food. While they’re still young, it pays to be watchful with their diet. Vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and red bell peppers provide the right vitamins and antioxidants to support immune system health. For sweeter treats, try blueberries, oranges, and kiwis.
Supplement their diet with a natural immunomodulator A natural immunomodulator like CM-Glucan can help balance your child’s immune system. It allows the immune system to produce more antibodies than Vitamin C.
If you can’t take the heat, Immunomax has some tips to get you through the summer
Summer brings plenty of reasons to head outside: beach trips, road adventures, and long sunny days. But fun under the sun can bring a few seasonal challenges. Allergies can flare up when pollen levels rise, heat and sweat can lead to skin irritation or prickly heat, and spending too much time under the sun can leave you feeling drained and fatigued.
The higher the exposure, the higher the risk. A food supplement can help you manage (with proper diet and exercise)
Whether you’re commuting to work, picking up groceries, or meeting friends for dinner, you’re constantly surrounded by germs more than you probably realize.
Everyday activities may expose us to bacteria and viruses through the air, shared surfaces, and even simple interactions with other people. While not every germ will make you sick, repeated exposure can still put stress on your immune system, especially when you’re tired, stressed, or not getting enough rest.
