In the past two years, I found that there are only two common diseases in children, namely, food accumulation and colds, most of which are complications caused by frequent colds. Children get sick several times when they go to kindergarten, but some children get sick more frequently and some children get sick less frequently. Careful observation of children with high frequency of illness has these characteristics, and children like to be picky eaters when eating; Children's spleen and stomach are weak; Intravenous drip is the first choice for children to get sick; Home is too clean, often use disinfectant; Children are inactive and lazy; A child's poor immunity does not mean that the child is not sick.
On the contrary, poor immunity means that children get sick repeatedly and never get well. Therefore, parents should first correct the concept that children's illness is not poor immunity. How to improve children's immunity, strengthen outdoor sports and improve children's immunity is not to prevent children from getting sick, but to get better as soon as possible after getting sick. In the development guide for children aged 3-6, it is clearly stated in the field of health that children should spend no less than 2 hours in outdoor activities every day.
After children go to kindergarten, it is difficult for many kindergartens to guarantee their children's two-hour activity time every day, considering the venue and the number of children. Extracurricular activities are very necessary when children's activities can't be satisfied.
Drink more water. The first barrier of the human body is our mucous membrane. Drink plenty of water to keep the mucosa moist, which can resist bacteria. A baby weighing 18kg should drink 1000ml a day, and so on, so as to ensure enough water every day, keep the mucosa moist and prevent getting angry.
Don't be too clean at home. Epidemic system can form immune memory of infectious pathogens. If you meet again, you can be eliminated quickly. If the home is too clean, children will have no chance to produce antibodies through infection from infectious sources, and immune disorders will occur. The World Health Organization (who) has warned that antibacterial cleaning products will make the problem of microbial drug resistance more serious. The American Medical Association also called on the public to avoid using cleaning products containing antibacterial ingredients. Both adequate sleep and poor sleep will reduce the number of T cells in the body responsible for dealing with viruses and tumors, and the chances of getting sick will also increase.
Experts suggest that children sleep for 8- 10 hours every day, and it is best to take a nap as needed during the day. A study published at the American Rheumatology Academic Conference in 2000 pointed out that parents of children with chronic diseases will be more anxious if they often discuss the disease with their children and emphasize their weaknesses. Parents often discuss the recovery ability of the body with their children, observe the recovery speed of colds or abrasions, and let the children trust their intuition.
Contact with other children. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2000, if children under the age of 13 get along with their brothers and sisters or nursery children when they are young, their chances of developing asthma in the future will be reduced by half. Dr. White, the host of the study, pointed out that children's immune response can be stimulated, their immune system can be enhanced and the probability of allergic reaction leading to asthma can be reduced through contact with other children and infectious agents. Eating more vitamin C and unbalanced diet will lead to thinning of digestive tract and mucosa, decreased antibody and decreased resistance.
Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, which can increase the number of phagocytes. Strengthen the vitality of natural killer cells; Establish and maintain mucosa and collagen tissue to help wound healing. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in human body, which can maintain the integrity of epithelial cells and mucosal tissues and reduce infection. Improve antibody reaction and promote leukocyte production; And participate in capturing free radicals that destroy cells. Reducing sugar intake too much sugar will interfere with the immune function of white blood cells. Sweets are easy to be high in sugar and fat, and children who often eat sweets are prone to spleen and stomach weakness and indigestion.
Children's resistance is gradually improved over time, so children should be prepared in advance before going to kindergarten.
