To enhance children's immunity, attention should first be paid to dietary nutrition. Parents can provide children with sufficient protein, such as milk, soy products, and animal meats. At the same time, they should consume more antioxidant-rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits. Supplementing adequate vitamin C and vitamin E—found in citrus juices, vegetables, and fruits like oranges, tangerines, and other citrus varieties—can effectively boost children's immune systems. Additionally, consuming organophosphorus compounds from vegetables, such as cauliflower, celery, green beans, and tofu, helps regulate the body's immune system. Children should also engage in regular physical exercise and maintain a positive psychological state to promote overall immunity.
