Boosting children's IMMUNE SYSTEM

PW invited parents of Sadhbhavana World School, Kozhikode to share how they boost their children's immune systems

- 

As a mother of two — Haya (grade IX) and Kanaan (grade III) — my biggest concern is keeping them healthy and preventing illness.

We am constantly looking for ways and means to strengthen their immunity and overall well-being. As a doctor, I strongly believe in timely immunisation, which I consider essential. We also try to limit outside food, although convincing them to eat green vegetables can be challenging. Persistence truly makes a difference. We are very particular about handwashing and always carry a sanitizer when visiting public places or gaming arcades. Physical activity is equally important. While Haya plays throwball, Kanaan attends football coaching. Most important, children must understand the value of hygiene and healthy habits”
