Dr. Liu Aihua
Strengthening a child's immunity can be achieved through both physical and psychological approaches. First, ensure the child gets sufficient sleep, as adequate rest helps boost their immune system. Second, encourage appropriate physical activity, such as walking for 30 minutes daily. Third, promote a diet rich in nutrients like vitamins, trace elements, and minerals. Additionally, enhancing the child's psychological resilience can help alleviate all forms of stress, protecting their nervous system and supporting healthy development of the immune system. Furthermore, consider vaccinating your child to maximize protection against diseases. In summary, establishing regular sleep patterns, maintaining balanced nutrition, increasing physical exercise, strengthening psychological regulation, and timely vaccinations all contribute to improving a child's immunity.
