How to Cultivate Children's Good Constitution

As a parent, I think everyone wants to strengthen their children's physique, avoid infection and ensure their health as much as possible. So what should parents pay attention to?

The first aspect: If you want to strengthen your child's physique, of course, you can't do without diet first. This requires parents and friends to pay more attention to breastfeeding. Because breast milk responds to substances that enhance immunity, the chances of getting certain diseases are relatively low compared with babies who use formula milk powder, such as meningitis and pneumonia. It is understood that infants who have been breast-fed for at least 4 months have relatively few cases of childhood cancer. Only in the first 4 days of breastfeeding, the baby can get 4 billion white blood cells. In addition, he can also obtain T cell immunoglobulin A, the former can help the immune system to work, and the latter is attached to the throat and intestines, thus establishing a barrier against bacteria.

The second aspect: the choice of healthy food is also very important. Babies need to take vitamins and minerals to build a strong immune system. Most nutrients cannot be synthesized by babies themselves. They must come from food, including sweet potatoes and carrots rich in vitamin A, kiwis and cantaloupes rich in vitamin C, green leafy vegetables that can provide vitamin E, and cereals that can provide various minerals, such as oats and barley.

In addition, it is necessary to control the intake of livestock meat and cheese products, avoid using processed foods rich in fatty acids, and try to get the fat your baby needs from the following foods: deep-sea fish, nuts, avocados and some healthy oils, such as olive oil and linseed oil, and don't forget to supplement enough water. If you want to give your baby extra vitamins, please don't use them blindly. It's best to ask the doctor if the baby needs it and how much to take.

The third aspect: besides diet, proper exercise is also very necessary. Proper exercise is helpful to the operation of the baby's circulatory system, which can help digestion and increase appetite. Exercise also helps the baby to rest, which is the key to improve immune function. The improvement of internal circulation can make lymph (a liquid containing a variety of antibacterial cells) circulate in the body. Exercise can also reduce the production of hormones harmful to the immune system. You should make sure that the baby spends at least half an hour doing some exercise every day. The intensity of exercise does not need to be great, just simple rolling and touching.

The fourth aspect: in addition to proper exercise, let the baby keep enough rest time. If the baby does not have adequate and irregular rest, then she will secrete more stress hormones, which is very unfavorable for the baby's physical recovery and growth and development. Because of lack of rest, the baby has no energy to do sports. Ensure that the baby gets enough sleep: newborns sleep 16-20 hours a day, and babies of 6- 12 months should sleep at least 14- 15 hours a day. If the baby can't sleep well, consult a doctor if necessary, and don't be afraid of trouble.

Fifth: If possible, it is best to have a regular physical examination. Give your baby regular health check-ups and physical measurements, and carry out growth and development tests, so as to find problems early, prevent malnutrition, constipation, obesity and nutritional iron deficiency anemia, and correct them in time. Common health problems in infancy include infantile diarrhea, abdominal pain, eczema, diaper rash, nutrient allergy and seborrheic dermatitis. If these diseases occur, please consult a doctor for health guidance.

Sixth aspect: Pay attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness. It is best to wash your hands and baby's hands with soap, wipe your nose and relieve your hands before feeding, and it is best to dry your hands with paper towels. Parents and friends can try to tell their babies to use public goods and pick up anything with their right hands, only when touching their faces. Of course, it is best to teach your baby to avoid touching his face before washing his hands thoroughly. In addition, teach your baby to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth often. We all know that "illness comes from the mouth", so personal hygiene should be very particular.

Seventh: In addition, parents and friends have a good habit of teaching their babies to keep clean in public places, try to avoid contact with patients and go to hospitals as little as possible. Although you have improved your baby's immune ability and there is no problem in dealing with germs in daily life, your baby may still be infected in a ward full of coughing and sneezing. So pay attention to avoid contact with people who have a runny nose, cough or sneeze and their saliva. If the baby is slightly unwell, you can observe it at home first, so you don't have to rush to the hospital to avoid cross infection.
