Simple, natural ways a parent can help support their child’s immune system.

1-LET THEM SLEEP WELL
Children need good, long sleep for their bodies to
repair and stay strong.
When children rest, their bodies repair cells and
build stronger immunity

To help your child sleep better,
create a bedtime routine;sleeping at the same
time each day,no screens 1 hour before bedtime,
avoid heavy meals or sugary snacks before bed,
keep the room cool and dark to help their bodies
relax, encourage bathing before bedtime.

2-MAKE SURE THEY DRINK WATER
Staying hydrated helps the body fight germs.

Make drinking water fun for them; it could be by
using their favorite water bottle or adding a few
slices of lemon to their water.

Fruits like watermelon and oranges also help
keep children hydrated.
Encourage your children to sip water throughout
the day.

3-WHOLE FOODS NOT TOO MANY SUGARS
Too much sugar can make the immune system
slow, it weakens the body’s natural defenses.
It can reduce how well white blood cells fight
infections.

Offer healthy snacks, fruits and nuts in place
of sugary snacks.

4- TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HAND WASHING
Simple soap and water washing after visiting the
toilet, before eating and after playing protects
them.

5- INCLUDE HEALTHY PROTEINS
Eggs, beans,chicken, Fish and nuts help the
body grow strong cells.Equally include foods
rich in vitamin C

6-GIVE LOTS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Especially the colorful ones like orange,
paw-paw,watermelon, carrots. Make their meals
colorful.
