Boosting Your Child’s Immunity for Back-to-School Season 🏫💪

 

The school season is here, and while it’s exciting for kids to return to learning and friends, it also means more exposure to germs. A strong immune system is your child’s best defense. Here are 5 practical tips to keep your little ones healthy:

1️⃣ Balanced Nutrition

Make sure your child eats:

• 🍊 Fruits & veggies rich in vitamins (oranges, carrots, spinach).

• 🍗 Lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs).

• 🥑 Healthy fats (olive oil, nuts).

• 🌾 Whole grains for energy.

👉 Cut down on sugary snacks and fizzy drinks.

2️⃣ Good Sleep 😴

Children need quality sleep to stay strong:

• Ages 6–12 → 9–12 hours

• Teens → 8–10 hours

3️⃣ Stay Active 🏃

Encourage at least 60 minutes of daily activity — football, cycling, or dancing all count!

4️⃣ Hygiene Habits 🧼

• Wash hands before meals.

• Cover mouth when coughing.

• Use hand sanitizer outside.

5️⃣ Smart Supplements 💊

Ask your pharmacist about:
