Boost your child's immunity before the first school bell
Summer is coming to an end... Soon the first school bell will ring. The children will meet their friends that they haven't seen all summer. They will study together, play, have fun... Sounds wonderful, right? But going to school or kindergarten, no matter how exciting it is for a child, also contains a number of dangers for which we, as parents, must be prepared.
For children and their immune system
The development of the immune system begins at birth. In the mother's womb, the baby is in the sterile environment of the amniotic (amniotic) fluid. It protects it, creating a barrier for pathogens. At birth, the baby comes out of the sterile environment and begins to encounter a variety of unknown microorganisms - bacteria, viruses, fungi... It easily gets sick because it does not yet have the protective mechanisms to repel them. They are created gradually. Fighting off any virus or infection leads to the formation of antibodies that protect us when we encounter the pathogen again. Little by little the immune system strengthens and by the age of 15 it is considered to be already built.
Have you ever wondered why children often get sick after starting kindergarten or school?
There are over 200 trillion human viruses in the world, and the bacteria and other microorganisms that can make us sick are even more. They thrive mostly in places with a high concentration of people - that's exactly what schools and kindergartens are like.
Each child brings into the classroom strangers to the other pathogens. And as they play together, while they tell each other about their crazy summer adventures, they exchange microorganisms. Thousands of viruses and bacteria fight for supremacy and the fragile child's organism easily succumbs. One day the kid wakes up with a runny nose and a sore throat, and in the evening the thermometer measures 38 °C. Last year's story repeats itself - the child stays at home and you have to take sick leave to take care of him. He is prescribed an antibiotic, which leads to diarrhea and a bunch of other side effects. A week or two pass... Having already recovered, the little boy returns to school and has to catch up with the study material and homework.
Inevitably, the end of October comes and they announce a flu epidemic. The incidence of coronavirus is also on the rise. The child is sick again. Sore throat, runny nose, headache, high fever, persistent cough - these are just a few of the symptoms, and none of them are harmless. The GP again prescribes an antibiotic and sends the child home. But coming home, the kid infects the rest of the family. And although the child is usually quickly on his feet, for his elderly relatives this infection can be fatal...
Don't worry, this is all avoidable. You will ask how? With probiotics!
What is the connection between probiotics and immunity?
Most people think that probiotics only have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Well, it's time to debunk this myth! It has been scientifically proven that 80% of a person's immune system is located in the gut, and that's where most diseases start. Therefore, it is very important to take care of our children's gut microbiome. By taking a suitable probiotic supplement, we feed it with good bacteria capable of fighting off any disease-causing microorganism. At the same time, the effect is long-lasting. A number of studies prove that children who have taken probiotics from an early age have a lower risk of developing allergies, diabetes, asthma, obesity, dermatological and autoimmune diseases. That's why it's worth taking a probiotic today.
