Top tips to make back-to-school a success!

As the new school year approaches, ensuring your child’s immune system is strong and ready is a top priority!

✏️ Here are some natural ways to give their defenses a little extra support:

🥦 Eat up: Load up on immune-boosting foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, nuts and seeds. Focus on whole foods and avoid processed.

🌞 Get outside: Fresh air and sunlight play a key role in immune health. Encourage outdoor playtime, whether it’s a nature walk, bike ride, or a game of tag – it all contributes to a stronger immune system.

💤 Prioritize sleep: Adequate sleep is a superhero for the immune system! Set a consistent sleep schedule to ensure your child gets the recommended hours for their age. Also make sure that their sleep environment is cool, quiet, and promotes relaxation. Put screens away before bedtime!

💧 Stay hydrated: Water helps flush out toxins and supports bodily functions, including the immune system. Make sure your little one drinks enough water throughout the day.

🤧 Proper hygiene: Teach good hygiene practices, including regular handwashing with warm, soapy water, and covering sneezes and coughs. These simple steps can go a long way in preventing the spread of germs.

🧘‍♀️ Encourage relaxation: Stress can seriously weaken the immune system. Encourage relaxation through activities like yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or other calming activities your kiddos enjoy.

🤸 Stay active: Physical activity keeps the body moving which helps kids maintain a healthy weight and healthy brain, body, and mind.

🤗 Sneak in some extra cuddles and family time: Even though we do our best to reduce the stress of back-to-school, time apart from loved ones can be challenging for both parents and kiddos. Spend some extra time together to talk about the day and enjoy each other’s company.

Small changes can make a big difference. 💞  Here’s to a strong and thriving immune system! 🍎
