Fall and winter are approaching, which means there's a higher chance of getting the flu and other cold viruses. Children and babies younger than 5 years old are more susceptible to cold viruses because their immune systems may not be fully developed. They are also exposed to other people who might be sick if they attend daycare or preschool.
There are ways you can boost your child's immunity to decrease their chance of becoming ill. Organic kids medicine is better for children who have symptoms that are not so severe as those with prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
How to Prepare for the Flu Season
Strengthening your immune system in advance is one of the best ways you can prepare for flu season. It is best to live a healthy lifestyle that includes:
It is also important to eat healthy foods. The wide range of nutrients found in organic fruits and vegetables can support your immune system.
Even if you have a strong immune system there is always a chance that you might get something. You should be ready to manage any symptoms and get better as quickly as possible. You may need to stock your medicine cabinet with homeopathic remedies. A humidifier is also a good option. It keeps the air moist and reduces the risk of getting sick.
The Best Products to Support Your Family's Immune System
Supplements may be necessary if you don't eat enough healthy food. Vitamin D is an important vitamin for immune support. However, you may not be able to get enough during winter and fall. Vitamin D supplements are a good product to have on hand.
If you are looking for supplements that contain D3, make sure to choose the D3 version. It is more effective. Baby drops are great for babies. They can be added to milk or water easily. It is a good idea to have an organic iron supplement for toddlers. Iron is vital for the production of vitamin D. A supplement is recommended if your child (or you!) does not receive enough iron.
You can also find products that have a range of ingredients that increase your immune system. These products can be used to treat the flu or cold symptoms, or as preventive measures in order to avoid getting sick.
