5- Get enough sleep
The functioning of our immune system is greatly influenced by sleep. Strong variations during a typical sleep-wake cycle affect your child's physical and mental activities, as well as heart rate, body temperature, and immunological parameters, including leukocyte and cell production.
An inflammatory condition may occur due to a lack of good sleep. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system, making the child more susceptible to infection with bacteria and viruses.
6- Limit your intake of sugary foods
Increased sugar consumption also leads to inflammation of the immune system. Children who consume a lot of sugar are more likely to catch the flu, common cold and other diseases, to strengthen their immune system.
