How to boost the immune system!

I believe one of the most impacting events in our personal lives this month has been starting school. I homeschool my 7, 6 and 3 year old Monday-Thursday and on Fridays my two oldest attend enrichment classes at a local private school. This is our first year attending private school and it has brought some new considerations.

One of these considerations is maintaining health. Kids are adorable and a blessing from God. This does not negate the fact that they are walking petri dishes of viruses. As much as teachers and we parents monitor the hand-cleanliness of the children, there is still an aggressive spreading of germs. So what can we parents do? Since we don't want to keep our children in a bubble their whole life, we can  choose to build up their immune systems. The viral attacks will come so the best thing to do is prepare and equip their natural defenses.

Here are several ways you can do that:

Please keep in mind that there is so many nutrients from vitamins to microminerals that our bodies need in order to maintain health. So eat all the colors of the rainbow when eating veggies and fruits, eat all 3 macros - protein, fat and carbs and do not forget to drink your water. I believe incorporating these few rules will help keep your family strong and capable of fighting off the upcoming cold and flu season.

Blessings of health!
