Parents often ask for advice on how to stop pesky germs from making their kids sick at school. The solution starts at home. One of the best ways to stay healthy is to lead a healthy lifestyle, which includes a healthy diet, exercise and a few lessons in hygiene.
It has been proven that diet affects the immune system. Vitamins and minerals promote a healthy immune system, healthy organs and bodily function, which in turn puts less stress on the body to perform. A stressed body is more susceptible to illness.
To eat a healthy diet, encourage your kids to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, in addition to whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy products. Stay away from sugar-packed juices and snacks. Fill your child's meal with complex carbohydrates rather than sugar, which generally turns to fat. Excessive stored fat also causes stress on the body, making it more susceptible to illness.
Exercise is also an important, and it doesn't have to feel like a chore. Create fun activities, like savenger hunts, obstacle courses and sack races in the backyard. Allow them to take up an extracurricular activity, such as dance or soccer. Sunshine provides your child with Vitamin D, another surefire way to avoid illness.
Healthy bodies go a long way in staying germ-free, but it also takes a little common sense. Teach your children how to wash their hands correctly by immersing them in warm water for at least 20 seconds and scrubbing. Also, send your children to school with anti-bacterial wipes or gels. Explain that when soap and water are not available, they should rely on these products. Explain what germs are and why they should be avoided.
Teach your child to cover their mouth when coughing or sneezing. One of the best way to avoid germs is to teach children how to stop spreading them. Providing small packages of tissue is another easy way to prevent the spread of germs. The more children who practice these habits, the fewer germs your child will contact.
Some of the scariest germs are born in your child's mouth. Doctors and dentists have long agreed that regular brushing and flossing prevents serious illness. Plaque, when not regularly removed, can break loose and find it's way into the bloodstream.
These simple suggestions are the best ways for your child to avoid illness at school and home.
