How can I help my child fight off "cold and flu season"?
As often as we may refer to this proverbial "season", observed with bags of cough drops, mugs of chicken soup, and commercials for common medications, we may forget that itīs an actual calendar event for the CDC. In addition to the normal cold and flu strains that make their way through our schools and day care centers, 2009 brought H1N1 (Swine Flu) to heightened attention. This yearīs numbers indicate that just fewer than 130 cases of flu are reported nationally each week and that there have been nearly 300 pediatric deaths attributed to influenza. That may seem like a low number for a national epidemic but it becomes shockingly high when the sick child lives under your roof.
Any visit to your local emergency room will reveal that health care providers have taken steps to help stop the spread of respiratory borne illness. Masks are free for the taking and signs are everywhere urging people to cough into their sleeves and frequently wash their hands. Thatīs helpful once you enter a sick environment but what can we do before hand, to try to ensure no one gets sick in the first place?
Who gets sick first?
Unfortunately, small children are at a high risk to easily transmit viruses and bacteria that leads to infection. Common pediatric advice suggests that itīs "normal" for young children to experience 6-8 respiratory infections a year! That should outrage parents and spur us to action to protect these little vulnerable bodies.
Illness and disease is fostered in an acidic environment. As the body struggles to maintain a healthy ph balance between acidity and alkalinity, the immune system weakens and damaged cells cannot be repaired. Providing your child with a diet rich in alkaline foods such as breast milk, vegetables, honey, whole grains, and few animal products helps maintain a proper ph balance.
Frequently wash anything that comes into contact with a group setting. This goes for hands, blankets and toys, pillows, clothing, coats, toys, lunch boxes, and backpacks. Since many parents will ignore symptoms until they intensify and send ailing children to school or daycare, a protective parent needs to be more aggressive in sanitizing anything that enters that environment.
Donīt overuse antibiotics and disinfectants. Your childīs immune system will grow and strengthen over time. Real problems are developing due to doctors prescribing antibiotics as "preventive medicine". This leads to a resistance to common medications and fewer choices available when your child truly needs medical help.
Donīt ignore Grandmaīs advice: children need adequate rest, plenty of fluids, and a calm environment. This is actually excellent preventive care as well! Add to it getting enough fresh air and exercise: physical activity helps rid the body of excess acid, going back to proper ph balance support and immunity.
Supplement their diet with a source of nutrition and anti-oxidant support. Research suggests that a diet rich in antioxidants helps protect against many chronic diseases. "Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer and other chronic diseases" (National Cancer Institute). Solutions Acai drink, Ella Vie, combines the above ingredients in combination with pomegranates, and white and green tea. Pomegranates are extremely high in antioxidants and have been known throughout history to be a very effective disease preventative. White tea and green tea contain the highest amounts of antioxidants of all tea varieties. Together these ingredients form an amazing combination of health benefits with a distinctive, enjoyable taste. You can easily add Ella Vie to your childīs juice or add Supreme Greens powder to their food to supplement their diet.
Obviously, with childrenīs products, safety is a priority concern. Both Ella Vie and Supreme Greens with MSM are safe for those with allergies or on current medication. They are made from the highest quality ingredients from known sources and safe methods. You can call the company at any time for more information on the product and theyīll be able to explain where it all comes from and how itīs made. Protect your children from seasonal colds and flu; donīt accept that repeated serious illness has to be "normal" for your babies!
