Kids were considered silent carriers of the virus before the second wave of Covid-19. However, the last few months witnessed an increase in the number of kids prone to the virus. This condition has stirred a lot of questions regarding the third wave in the minds of the parents.
Below are 6 ways to boost your child's immunity:
1. Double the serving of fruits and vegetables
Carrots, beans, and oranges contain a good amount of carotenoids- immunity boosting phytonutrients. They increase the production of white blood cells thus blocking out the virus.
2. Increase sleep time
According to studies, sleep deprivation leads to weakened immune systems especially in children. An infant needs 16 hours of sleep time, a toddler needs 11 to 13 and preschoolers need a maximum of 10 hours sleep time.
