Children's immune systems are not yet fully developed, making them particularly susceptible to external pathogens invading and causing various illnesses. However, if a child's resistance becomes weaker, the likelihood of getting sick will greatly increase. Therefore, some parents want to know what to do if a child's resistance is low? So let me explain below.
The low immunity of children is generally related to factors such as daily diet and nutrition, home living environment (frequent use of disinfectants or detergents to wipe rooms), lack of outdoor activities and exercise, emotional fluctuations, medication (abuse of antibiotics), etc. If parents want to change their children's low immunity, they need to identify the reasons and eliminate them to improve it.
Children should eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins (vitamins A, C, and E), and trace elements such as zinc, selenium, and iron in their daily lives. These nutrients help to enhance physical fitness, improve immunity, resist the invasion of external pathogens, and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Parents should also encourage children to engage in outdoor activities and ensure moderate exercise every day.
Although it is necessary to ensure cleanliness and hygiene in children's home living environment, excessive use of disinfectants or detergents for frequent cleaning and wiping should be avoided. If the living environment is too clean, it can actually weaken the body's immune resistance and be detrimental to health. When children are sick, unless necessary, they should avoid the abuse of antibiotics, which can easily lead to drug resistance.
