One of the most important concerns of parents every September is how to strengthen their children's immune systems, so that they can cope with the needs of the school year and their activities without constantly suffering from colds and viruses. After all, a healthy body and a strong immune system ensure more energy, mood and sharpness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to ensure all of this is, first of all, through nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here I present to you the secrets of a balanced and healthy body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meeting daily caloric needs is of primary importance for maintaining the child's energy and overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially for children who need immediate energy for mental sharpness and for school play. If we give the body what it needs, then this also keeps the immune system level high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most difficult thing is not to cover our daily needs for food and energy, but to ensure that what we consume has the quality we want, so that each ingredient is used for its appropriate purpose. Variety helps both in achieving this goal and in avoiding \"boring\" food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each color has a specific group of antioxidants that are absolutely essential for protecting the body against oxidative radicals and for its ability to fight them when they \"defeat\" the body's defenses. Did you know? Oxidative radicals are responsible for aging and the dysregulation of body functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been a major focus of medical research in recent years. One of its many actions is the activation of the body's defenses. Yogurt, sweet potatoes, fatty fish and egg yolk are examples of foods that are rich sources of vitamin D, the \"sunshine vitamin\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our ally for years in every cold is vitamin D, as it plays a primary role in boosting the immune system. It is important to have sufficient vitamin C in order to effectively fight viruses. For this purpose, we consume oranges, strawberries, tangerines, kiwis, but also peppers, broccoli, lemon, thyme and parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beekeeping products<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bee products, such as honey, pollen, molasses, and propolis, are important to include in our diet, either in foods or as an addition to beverages for an extra boost to the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The balance of the intestinal microflora is one of the most basic factors in regulating health, but mainly the body's defense against infections and inflammation. Strengthening the intestinal microbiome means strengthening the immune system. Probiotics can be found in fermented foods, such as kefir, yogurt, whole grain products. They are also found in garlic, onions, apple peels, and legumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As clich\u00e9 as it may sound, water is also vital for the body's defenses. So stay hydrated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big no to processed foods, such as sugar, salt, sweeteners and junk food. They are the main \"enemies\" of our body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, I cannot omit the importance of sleep, exercise, and adopting healthy habits, as well as reducing stress for the overall care and strengthening of the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let's organize ourselves properly and in a timely manner so that we don't suffer during the year. The program has immune system strengthening!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
