Some parents give their babies a large amount of supplements every day to maintain the body’s immunity, not knowing that the best source to enhance immunity is natural and healthy food. To strengthen the body’s immunity, the most important thing is adequate and balanced nutrition. It is recommended to have three to six servings of staple foods, two glasses of milk, four to five servings of eggs, fish, meat and beans, at least three servings of vegetables and two servings of fruits in your daily diet. Especially for office workers, vegetables and fruit intake is obviously insufficient, so we should remind ourselves that each meal must eat vegetables and fruits, and try to eat a variety of food, do not always eat some specific food, which is easy to cause nutritional waste. The second treasure: common mushrooms and fungus on the table can eat a little more food rich in polysaccharides, polysaccharides have been studied and proven to have a positive impact on immunity. The recognized foods that can enhance immunity are polysaccharides. Since the 1970s, some scholars have found that large consumption of fungi, plant polysaccharides and other polysaccharide foods can help enhance the body’s immunity, especially shiitake mushrooms have been proven to contain an interferon inducer, which can interfere with the synthesis of viral proteins and improve anti-viral immunity. It is recommended that babies eat more mushrooms, such as shiitake, wood ear, ganoderma lucidum, as well as silver fungus, bamboo fungus, etc. In addition, there are plant polysaccharides such as konjac, Ulva, radish, etc., but it is not a short period of time to eat a lot to improve immunity, but a long-term regular intake. The third treasure: milk garlic to defend health In addition to polysaccharide food, protein is also an important element to enhance the baby’s immunity. Protein is not only the basic element that makes up the body’s cells, but also the main component that makes up white blood cells and antibodies. A serious lack of protein in the body will reduce the number of lymphocytes and cause a decline in immune function. Therefore, it is important to consume more high-quality, high-protein foods, such as fresh lean pork, chicken, duck and fish, eggs, milk and dairy products, and it is recommended to drink two glasses of milk a day to maintain a proper protein intake. In addition, do not neglect garlic as a “health guard”, and add a little minced garlic to your baby’s dishes every day. Garlic is not only an antioxidant, but also an immunity booster and anti-viral. It has an inhibitory effect on cytomegalovirus, promotes the transformation of T-lymphocytes and increases the activity of white blood cells and macrophages. The fourth treasure: comprehensive supplementation of micronutrients After paying attention to the daily diet and taking in multi-sugar foods and high-quality protein, we cannot ignore the adequacy and balance of various vitamins in the baby’s body. The main vitamins that babies should pay particular attention to are VC, VE and VB, of which VC can increase the ability of white blood cells to swallow bacteria, raise the level of interferon in the blood, and is an effective antioxidant and immunity-boosting vitamin. VE, on the other hand, is a nemesis of free radicals and also promotes antibody production and enhances the role of immune cells. Vitamin B complex, on the other hand, is related to the production of antibodies and white blood cells in the body. Lack of vitamin B complex affects the number of lymphocytes and the production of antibodies. In addition, minerals are also one of the important players that affect the immunity of the body. Fabulous five: adequate sleep to fight the virus Sleep and baby immunity is also closely related. Scientific studies have shown that during sleep the body produces a sleep factor called cytosolic acid. This factor leads to an increase in white blood cells, active macrophages, and enhanced liver detoxification, thus eliminating the invading bacteria and viruses. After the baby enters the sleep state, various beneficial processes to enhance immune function will then begin, so it is best to keep at least 8 hours of sleep per night for young children, and it is also best to develop the habit of napping during the day, because long-term lack of sleep can cause damage to the baby’s body, including impaired thinking ability, reduced alertness and judgment, and low immune function. The six magic words: less oil, less salt and less sugar In the baby to eat more immunity-boosting food at the same time, we must learn to distinguish a lot of food that will reduce the baby’s immunity, and keep a distance from it. Many babies like to eat sweets, but sweets can affect the production and activity of white blood cells, reducing the body’s ability to resist disease. In addition, eating too greasy is also not conducive to the baby’s immunity, especially when the intake of too many bad fats such as trans fatty acids, will make the body’s immune cells become “lazy” and unable to function, so in cooking to less oil and less salt, especially do not eat fried food. The seventh treasure: adhere to aerobic exercise every day In addition to diet, sleep, exercise is also an important part of the construction of a good baby resistance. A study showed that if babies exercise 30 to 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 12 weeks, the number of immune cells will increase and resistance will also increase. The type of exercise is moderate to light aerobic exercise, and it should be done regularly to not only improve immunity, but also to ease emotions and relieve stress. It is recommended that if the weather is suitable, taking your baby out on a weekend outing is a good choice to enhance your baby’s immunity. The last remedy to enhance immunity is to keep your baby in a happy and balanced mood. Immunity and human emotions are actually closely related, there have been studies found that hostility, grief, loss, sadness and other negative emotions can lead to a decline in human immunity, while a cheerful and lively personality, happy emotions will improve the baby’s immunity. Therefore, the baby’s immunity is strongest only in a state of inner balance and happiness.
