August is coming to an end, and with it the summer relaxation. Soon children will return to kindergartens and schools - places where even the strongest immunity is challenged. Therefore, now is the time to prepare and take preventive measures.
What weakens children's immunity in autumn?
- Insufficient sleep and lack of physical activity
- Reduced sunlight exposure, which reduces vitamin D synthesis
- A quick transition from summer "freedom" to a structured regime
- Lower amount of vegetables and fruits in the autumn diet
What can parents do?
Balanced diet
The basis of immunity is vitamins and minerals: C, A, D, zinc, selenium, fiber. Growing organisms often do not get enough of them. Solution:
- Colorful vegetables: carrots, bell peppers, spinach
- Fruits: apples, berries, bananas
- Whole grain cereals, nuts
Rest and regime
A child needs 9–11 hours of quality sleep. It is equally important to gradually transition to a school routine and establish a consistent wake-up and bedtime routine.
Daily movement
Outdoor games, sports, and family walks strengthen the respiratory system and reduce inflammatory processes in the body. Even half an hour outdoors is beneficial for the entire body.
Psychological well-being
Stress, burnout, or feelings of insecurity all weaken the immune system. Conversations, closeness, and support are just as important as vitamins.
