For every parent, the health of your child is perhaps the most important. That's why every parent does everything possible so that only their child does not get sick. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. Especially more often children fall ill in the autumn-winter time. Hot summer is replaced by a cold, damp autumn, the child has to get up early (in the kindergarten or in school). Because of all this, the children's body begins to weaken. What should parents do to improve the health of their children?
Hardening
The sun, water and air, natural factors that help the child develop resistance to changing atmospheric conditions. Thanks to this procedure, the body will acquire the ability to react to a changing ambient temperature before the body overheats excessively or if hypothermia occurs. Hardening is common and specific. General - a balanced diet, the regime of the day, exercise. Specific - it's water, air and solar procedures.
Sunbathing
Staying in the sun, children, especially infants should be dosed. Children under one year of age should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Tempering children at this age is better scattered sunlight. Figuratively speaking, the child should be in a "lacy shadow".
Solar procedures can be combined with air baths (the duration of the last bath should be monitored). If the child takes a sun bath during wakefulness, then it can be undressed for several minutes (the time must be increased with each time). To receive direct rays of the sun the child can only till 11 am or after 5 pm and then not for long. If the child has reddened skin, he became irritable and excitable, then it should be taken to coolness urgently and it is necessary to give him water to drink.
clothing
To strengthen the health of the child should choose the right shoes and clothes. Gathering with the child for a walk, the mother should remember that the child is almost always in motion, therefore, when choosing clothes for a child, one does not always have to rely on their feelings about the weather. Mummy, for example, sitting all the time on the bench or standing on the spot experiencing other sensations, incomparable with playing and running child.
Physical activity
To strengthen children's health, it is necessary to stimulate physical activity. Charging in the mornings, outdoor games, even if it's cold outside the window, visiting sports clubs and sections - all this provides prevention of catarrhal diseases, even more than immunomodulators. In addition, gives the baby a cheerful mood.
Mode
It is necessary to properly organize the regime of the day, the child should sleep enough and rest, because this is an invaluable "tool" that strengthens the child's health. A child who has become accustomed to the regime will be more organized. In addition, the worked out routine of the day reduces to a minimum "educational problems", which are related to the child's unwillingness to go to bed on time, to stop the game before dinner. An organism that is used to receiving food at a certain time, by this time begins to produce enzymes that promote digestion of food.
Balanced diet
To strengthen children's health, balanced nutrition is the most important item, because to ensure that the child was healthy, it must be properly fed. The child's daily diet should be carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins and trace elements in sufficient quantities. Try to feed the child at a certain time if possible. What should not be given to a child, is a different "chemistry" - food additives, stabilizers, dyes.
Emotional condition
A large number of real and imaginary ailments of the child is associated with his psychological state and emotional state. For example, if a child does not want to go to school or a kindergarten because of problems, then the stomach can begin to hurt really. If parents do not give time to this problem, then the children's body can get a more serious illness in order to avoid an agonizing and disturbing situation for him.
