Sep 02, 2022, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
We’ll want to protect our children from all sorts of possible harm that is right from falls, bumps, to bruises, and infections. Therefore, to help your child avoid illnesses, it is very important to encourage good habits, and as parents you must take all the possible steps to boost the immune system of your child from an early age. In fact, your child’s diet has a big role in maintaining a healthy immune system. Nourishing your child with foods containing nutrients like vitamins A, B6 and C, iron, zinc, antioxidants, and folic acid can greatly boost their immunity. But sometimes, it may be difficult to track which immunity-boosting nutrients your child is getting from the meals you prepare. Also, you may have to prepare complex meals with many ingredients to ensure your child is getting adequate amounts of these nutrients. This can be quite challenging, especially if you are a busy parent. Home remedies can be handy in such situations. Having a low immunity in children can be menacing. This can be the root cause of many repeated illnesses like common cold, sinus infections, ear infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and much more. There are certain nutrients that the kids must start consuming from a young age. Not all nutrients need to be given through medication or supplementation – some home remedies to boost the immune system work better on children. While many of these diseases can also be contagious, you certainly cannot rule out that these dangerous diseases can cause long-lasting damage to their bodies. Moreover, having constant sickness or recurring problems can also be an area of concern. Hence, in this live workshop you can find answers to questions like-
