Home Remedies to Strengthen Child Immunity

Tips to Improve Your Child’s Immunity Naturally

1. Healthy Diet

Make your kid’s diet vegetables and fruit-rich. Carrots, beans, oranges, strawberries, which are rich in Vitamin C, are good options. Keep the child away from processed, refined and junk foods.

2. Proper Sleep

Your child should get enough sleep for a well-functioning immunity system. Keep their sleeping environment as pleasant as possible. Manage their sleep routine during the day so that they can sleep well at night.

3. Regular Physical Exercise

Encourage your child to play. To improve his immunity, he should play with his friends, go cycling, swim, or do any physical routine for at least 30 minutes daily.

4. Clean and Hygienic Habits/Surroundings:

Kids must learn basic hygiene routines, such as brushing, washing their hands after using the toilet, bathing daily, etc. This will help prevent germs and infections. For your child's health, sanitise your home and keep it free of smoke, dust, pests, and other allergens.

5. Happy Life

Communicate openly with your child and let him know he is loved and cared for. Encourage his creativity and allow him to play as much as possible. This will remove all traces of stress from him. Stress increases cortisol and adrenaline hormones, eventually hampering the immune system's functionality.

6. Probiotics

Including probiotic-rich foods like yoghurt can make your child less prone to common infections like colds, coughs, and flu. Yoghurt also contains other disease-fighting nutrients, such as Vitamin B12, calcium, and potassium, to keep your child healthy.

7. Exposure to Early Morning Sunlight

Vitamin D, acquired from sunlight, can stimulate the immunity-increasing T cells in your child.

8. Superfoods

If your child is over a year old, you can increase ginger, turmeric, honey, garlic, green tea and basil leaves in his diet daily.
