How can we do it? We\u2019ve gathered some tips for you to help you avoid long hours of sitting in doctors\u2019 waiting rooms this coming winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter can sometimes feel like a never-ending period of runny noses, fever and unrelenting coughs. If you\u2019re looking for simple ways that would help you avoid long hours of sitting in your paediatrician\u2019s waiting room this coming winter, keep reading. We\u2019ve gathered a few tips that would help you reinforce your child\u2019s immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make sure the children are getting enough sleep<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep is well known to be an important component in keeping a healthy lifestyle, it\u2019s essential for a healthy immune system and it enables the body to heal and rehabilitate itself. If you\u2019re unsure how much sleep your child should be getting, here\u2019s a short review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main organizations who determine sleep related policies, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the National Sleep Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These organizations have published their recommendations in 2015, here are the National Sleep Foundation\u2019s recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>0-3 months: 14-17 hours<\/li><li>4-11 months: 12-15 hours<\/li><li>1-2 years: 11-14 hours<\/li><li>3-5 years: 10-13 hours<\/li><li>6-13 years: 9-11 hours<\/li><li>14-17 years: 8-10 hours.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Immune deficiency in children during winter and sleep<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the winter months, when there are increased levels of bacteria and viruses in the air and longer hours of staying indoors, especially if the child is sick, their body would require more sleep, in order to fully recover. In order to allow children to have as good a night\u2019s sleep as possible, reduce their screen time and don\u2019t allow television, tablet or smartphone at least 30 minutes before bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Squeaky clean\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hygiene is a pre-emptive strike. Ask your children to wash their hands regularly throughout winter and all year round. Hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent contagion and we mostly don\u2019t insist on this simple action as much. Ask your children to wash their hands before and after mealtimes; when they come home from school or daycare; after they use the toilet; after they\u2019ve touched pets or played outside; after they\u2019ve touched someone who\u2019s sick and after they\u2019ve sneezed or coughed. And parents, this tip isn\u2019t just for children. Mom or dad, you should also practice the habit of washing your hands in order to reduce the amount of unwanted bacteria and viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who said reinforcing children\u2019s immune system? That means more fruits and vegetables!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child\u2019s only nutrition is chicken nuggets and frozen pizza, you\u2019re doing nothing to help their immune systems function properly. Adding fruit, vegetables and superfoods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc to your children\u2019s diets \u2013 this would help the body\u2019s sturdiness and support fending off airborne viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a \u2018picky eater\u2019 at home, try and \u2018hide\u2019 the foods that are important for reinforcing their immune system in smoothies, baked dishes and so on. for example, leafy greens such as spinach, which are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals. You can chop them and add them to omelets, to pasta sauce and even blend into a fruit smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Go out and play<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem counterintuitive to go out and play when it\u2019s cold and grey outside, but studies have shown that physical activity in young children can have a beneficial influence on their immune systems. <a>Fortunately for us, in a country like ours, there are quite a few warm, sunny winter days. Take advantage of them and have various activities such as running, ball games and bicycling.<\/a> Exposure to sunlight would help your children produce Vitamin D, which is extremely important for their immune systems as well as the integrity of their bones and teeth. Fresh air is just as important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And have a warm, healthy winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reinforcing our child\u2019s immune systems is always one of our greatest worries as parents, as winter rolls around.
