In this still uncertain pandemic, children will be susceptible to various diseases. Therefore, Moms must get used to their family to live healthier.
"The child's immune system is getting better and more mature," said Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician and author of the Seattle Mama Doc Blog of the Seattle Hospital.
Generally, what often attacks are colds and coughs. Hence, Moms must help children to stay healthy under any circumstances.
According to the daily in the U. S. National Library of Medicine, children at the base of 2 years have close to 6 inflammation per year, people ages 2 to 3 and older about one per year.
When the little one is sick, there are many things that the child doesn't want to live with. Poor, right, Moms?
Methods to Protect Child and Family Health
Here are some methods parents can try to help keep their children healthy and less prone to disease.
1. Invite Children for Sports
The initial method of protecting children's health is to get them to exercise.
"Lack of exercise is a major driver of obesity and childhood disease," says Jean Moorjani, a pediatrician at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando, Florida.
Hence, to protect children's health, Moms should invite your little one to exercise outside the home, at least once a day, when the weather is favorable.
2. Wash Hands Cleanly
Washing hands thoroughly is also a very effective method of protecting the health of children and families,
Because children often hold their mouths and faces, parents are required to wash their children's hands with soap and water to get rid of bacteria before eating, after using the bathroom, and when they enter the house after playing.
Moms can equip children with hand sanitizers that can be used for times that do not allow washing hands.
By teaching children this routine, we are helping children to protect their health properly.
3. Enough Sleep
The method of protecting children's health that follows throughout the pandemic is to allow them to sleep well. Getting enough sleep is also one of the keys to protecting the health of our bodies.
Children need between 9 and 14 hours of sleep a day depending on their age. Lack of sleep can weaken the body's immune system and increase the risk of getting sick in the little one.
4. Eat Healthy
Moms need to provide meals that have lots of patterned fruits and vegetables to help boost the child's immune system.
Look for foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin D, and stay away from foods that have lots of bonus substances, preservatives, and sugar.
5. Keep Children from Stress
Take care so that the child does not stress. Increased stress hormones can lead to decreased immunity.
Give the child lots of time off and playing games he likes to help lower the stress levels of the child's mind and protect the little one from getting sick.
