Question: What can i do to improve my daughter's immune system? also suggest some food to complete her diet requirements.
Brief Answer:
Proper diet, exercise, low stress, good sleep
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. Like all other systems of our body, the development of the immune system is progressive and as the age of a child progresses, the immunity develops. In order to remain healthy, a healthy lifestyle is needed.
Although there are no direct methods to boost the immunity, there are certain things that you can do to keep your child healthy and avoid falling ill.
1. Proper and healthy diet with more fruits and vegetables like carrots, green beans, oranges, strawberries along with green leafy vegetables rich in fibre content.
2. Give curd/yogurt which contain healthy microbes like lactobacillus.
3. Proper protein content of food is important. Protein is present in milk, fish, eggs, pulses, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, soya etc.
5. Micronutrient enhancement may be done but is not essential.
6. Getting enough good sleep is very important
7. Exercise and proper play habits are the pillars of healthy living.
8. Reduce secondhand smoke especially at home
9. Maintaining proper hygiene helps you to keep the germs from spreading and naturally prevent her from falling ill. Proper hand washing techniques are very important.
Hope that maintaining the above points will help your child cope better with the environment. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
