Who likes a sick kid? Not us, for sure. If one gets under the weather, it means we’ll get three of them lingering the gray clouds for weeks to come. Therefore we try our best to keep their immune systems at optimum level. Here are five ways to help your little ones stay strong.
1. Strawberries and Kiwi
These two fruits are high in vitamin C, which is an antioxidant vitamin that helps fight bacteria.
2. Probiotics
Have you ever heard “a healthy gut is the key to a healthy body”? If your digestive system is in good condition, it will be able to absorb nutrients at its best and therefore keep your body strong. Probiotics, which are live bacteria, is a way to achieve this while balancing out the bad bacteria in our body.
3. Cod liver Oil
It is Rich in omega-3s and vitamins A and D. Plus it helps increase vitamin and mineral absorption, therefore it boosts the immune system.
4. Elderberry Syrup
These potent berries are high in antioxidants and are believed to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties. This is without accounting the many benefits it has on our entire body and the strength it has to keep it healthy.
5. On Guard Essential Oil
It is a blend of different oils (clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary), and is well known for its cleansing abilities. Mixing coconut oil and a few drops of this EO, and rubbing it on the sole of the feet can help boost the immune system.
Hope these ideas help, but remember that it’s just as important to have a healthy and balanced diet. Stay healthy!
