It is not reliable to take medicine and tonic to improve children's immunity

In another year of influenza outbreak season, many children were "successfully recruited

Ma Jijun, chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Tianjin Children's Hospital, said in an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily that as of now, there are no nutrients or drugs that can really improve children's immunity

Immunity is not the higher the better

According to Ma Jijun, the immune system is the body's own defense mechanism, which can resist the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms from outside, thereby helping the body to avoid various diseases to the greatest extent.

Ma Jijun explained that the human body’s immune system is a huge network structure with headquarters and executive cells

In addition to anti-infective functions, the immune system also has the functions of removing dissidents, immune surveillance, and removing mutant cells

But immunity is not as strong as possible

"This kind of'infighting' can sometimes be very severe, and it is more serious than the harm to the human body caused by bacterial virus infection

Children’s immunity gradually increases with age

"The reason why children are more likely to be exploited by bacteria and viruses than adults is that their own immunity is weak, and children between 6 months and 3 years of age are in a period of incomplete immune function

As early as the embryo, the baby's immune organs and immune cells begin to develop

"In addition, if a baby is breastfed for 6 months after birth, it will also get a small amount of antibodies and immunoglobulin antibodies from breast milk (especially colostrum) during this period, but globulin antibodies have a metabolic cycle , Will gradually decrease and disappear with the baby’s own metabolism

"However, parents don't have to worry too much.

The key to improving immunity lies in daily life

Although it is not an overnight effort to improve children's immunity, many parents still place their hopes on health products or medicines, hoping that these "plug-ins" can help children improve their immunity quickly and reduce their illnesses

"Clinically, those drugs on the market that are known to enhance immunity are collectively referred to as immunomodulators, but the current effects of immunomodulators are not very clear

So, how can parents help their children improve their immunity?

"In addition to doing a good job in the daily care of children, you can also start with diet

"In children's diet, the

It's already winter.

In winter, babies are prone to diseases such as respiratory infections
.
If they can take in enough vitamins, they can effectively enhance their body's immunity
.
Chinese cabbage, cabbage and other vegetables are rich in vitamin content, you can also eat more sweet potatoes, potatoes and other potato foods, they are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B and vitamin A
.
Eat more potatoes, it also has the effect of clearing internal heat and removing blast poison
.
In addition, animal liver is rich in vitamin A, so babies should eat more appropriately in winter
.
Of course, fresh fruit is indispensable
.
Fruits suitable for winter are apples, pears, oranges, etc.
Fruits not suitable for over-eating are persimmons, apricots, and plums
.

Dietary fiber can regulate the absorption and excretion of food and keep the stool smooth, which is very beneficial to the excretion of toxins from the body; in addition, dietary fiber also has the effect of controlling body weight
.
Therefore, let children eat more coarse grains such as corn and sorghum, soy beans, red beans and other legumes, as well as vegetables such as spinach and celery, all of which contain more dietary fiber
.

Medical research has shown that people who lack inorganic salts in their bodies are more likely to be afraid of cold.
Inorganic salts such as calcium, iron, zinc, sodium, and copper are all nutrients that are relatively easy to lack in cold climates, while milk, animal liver, green vegetables, and beans Products, kelp, seaweed and other foods are rich in these nutrients and are the first choice for children to resist cold in winter
.

Cold food is not easy to digest, and it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach of young children, especially for those babies with weak spleen and stomach, the food in winter should be mainly hot food
.

"In addition, there are some life>
.
For example, encourage children to do more outdoor sports, parents open windows frequently for ventilation, take children less to crowded places, increase or decrease clothing in time, and vaccinate them on time to prevent all kinds of Vaccines for infectious diseases, etc.

" Ma Jijun pointed out that it is important to emphasize that parents must vaccinate their children on time.
Although vaccination does not necessarily mean that they will not be infected, even if the vaccinated children are infected with the corresponding pathogen, the condition will be It is mild and the course of the disease is relatively short
