Chronic fatigue, drowsiness, persistent colds, herpes, papillomas?
Do not go to a fortuneteller: there is a catastrophic decrease in immunity.
It is on the immune processes that the quality of our life depends, which generally you want to live happily ever after.
The saddest thing is that almost all modern children have weak immunity. Ecology, poor nutrition, and the lack of systemic recovery, as well as universal "computerization" are to blame. therefore need to strengthen the defenses since birth baby. Not bad, of course, if mother paid attention to her own health even before conception, and during gestation she strictly followed all the recommendations of doctors, gave up bad habits and remained in complete harmony with the world ... But this is already an idyllic option. So we will raise our own and children's immunity on the basis of realities.
Strengthening immunity in children
The baby at birth has a huge supply of vitality, and breast milk perfectly protects it from viruses and bacteria. Nevertheless, it is necessary to strengthen children's immunity immediately. Nothing supernatural is required: to temper, to properly feed, to do infants gymnastics, if possible - swimming.
Baby needs daily walks in the open air, permanent treatment and proper care. Favorable temperature conditions for the room - 22 degrees. Before going to bed and at night compulsory ventilation. It is impossible to muffle: constant overheating kills immunity.
Great way to get started. tempering procedures - gradual decrease in bathing water temperature. Starting from 37-36 degrees, you can gradually, by a degree of five to six days, make the bath cooler.
From one year old you can wash your face with cool water, hands on elbows and a little higher, neck, collarbone, chest, gradually reducing the temperature to 16 degrees. From the age of five we are starting to douche. Of course, you need to start not with ice water, but with warm water, gradually bringing the temperature to 18 degrees. More gentle option - douche with ankles in the same temperature range.
In the summer at every opportunity, let the baby run barefootswim in open water. The child must actively move, run, jump, play sports. It can not be muffled and overheated. It would be a mistake to ban contacts with other children for fear of catching a viral disease. In contrast, the more often the immune system encounters an infection, the stronger it becomes. That is why the "home" kids get sick more often than those who walked on the playground and attended kindergarten.
An important moment - proper nutrition. A growing body should receive exactly as many vitamins, minerals, trace elements as it needs. Therefore, the diet of the child should always be not chocolates and sandwiches with sausage, but vegetables, fruits and high-quality vitamin complexes. Moreover, plant food should not be brought from abroad, but grown near the place of residence. The human body needs clean water. Therefore, in addition to tea, juice and milk, the baby must be given water, and from infancy.
As for immunomodulators, the opinions of doctors differ. Someone thinks that healthy children do not need artificial support of the immune system, while others do not see anything bad in the course-based seasonal methods of such drugs. The main thing is to choose a safe and actually effective option.
Well maintains and strengthens the immune system ascorbic acid, vitamin D oil pharmacy solution, rosehip decoctions, dried apricots and dried fruit compote. You can make a very tasty and useful mixture for maintaining immunity, grinding in equal proportions dried apricots, walnuts, raisins and mixing them with natural honey. If you take a spoonful of such a mixture in September on an empty stomach in September, you can prepare immunity for the season of October colds quite well. Such a tool is good for strengthening immunity in children and adults.
Plant substances have a strengthening effect.adaptogens: tinctures of Echinacea and Eleutherococcus. In order to prepare for the winter load on the immune system, you must take their course for at least a month. The dosage should be indicated by the doctor, but usually droplets are enough for each year of life.
A prerequisite for the formation of strong immunity is the absence of infectious foci. Therefore, the teeth should be cured on time, even if they are milk. And the noses need regular washing with a solution of sea salt to prevent the accumulation of pathogenic microflora.
Strengthening immunity in adults
To understand that it’s time to seriously deal with immunity, you need to analyze your condition. The body sends SOS signals if the following symptoms show up:
• frequent colds, occurring for a long time, with complications that require antibiotics;
• the presence of chronic foci of inflammation (throat, nasopharynx);
• skin irritations;
• dull, brittle hair and nails;
• frequent rash on the lips (herpes);
• shaky nervous system, a tendency to depression;
• feeling tired, exacerbated in spring and autumn;
• intestinal problems;
• liver disease;
• weight changes;
• pain in the joints, back;
• sudden appearance of warts, papillomas;
• decrease in sexual desire;
• constant weakness or temperature around 37 degrees and slightly higher.
All this is a reason to seriously do health.
First of all, it is necessary to improve the work of the intestines, kidneys and liver. All these organs are responsible for the evacuation of toxins from the body, blood purification, and therefore directly affect the strengthening of immunity in children and adults. Sometimes, for a significant change in the state of the immune system, it is enough just to start drinking clean water to remove toxic substances and waste.
The immune system will say thank you for cleansing the body of parasites. It can be carried out with pharmacy drugs or folk remedies. The result can surprise and delight even those who consider anti-parasitic cleansing to be complete nonsense, and themselves to be a pure vessel of reason.
Quality Vitamins - Required to strengthen the immune system in children and adults. You should not consider them a waste of time. From where, tell me, take the body of a modern person the right amount of nutrients? Food is not able to fully satisfy the deficit, so that with age, the endless resources of the body end, the immune system is peddling. In this case, you can not do without good immunomodulators.

Great choice: swimming, walking, jogging, biking, skiing, yoga, aerobics, dancing. It is enough to engage two or three times, but regularly and every week - and after six months, chronic sores really recede.
Now let's talk about the intestines. The most common problem is dysbiosis caused by taking antibiotics. It is not the pills themselves that are harmful, but the fact that not only the pathogenic environment dies from their action, but also the vital flora for the organism. The immune system is more than half, or even 80 percent weakened. Therefore, after antibiotic therapy, an urgent restoration of intestinal microflora is required. We need drugs with bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, as well as the use of dairy products, garlic, onions.
It helps to restore immunity hardening (air, water, sun baths), visit to the bathcourses herbal teas and decoctions. Do not be lazy to do morning exercises, take a contrast shower, douche with cold water and regularly brew sea buckthorn, mountain ash, dogrose, mint.

All drugs can be divided into several types:

These preparations contain microdoses of bacteria that cause the most common diseases. Therefore, they increase immunity primarily to frequent inflammation of the nasopharynx and ears. Each of these products has an amazing effect.
Biostimulants contribute to the development of non-specific immunity, that is, affect the entire body. Aloe, plasmol, propolis, mummy - these are just some of the drugs that can be used to strengthen immunity in children and adults.

In a separate group, you can make the so-called thymus preparations (thymus gland): thymostimulin, tactivin, thymalin. However, the self-administration of these funds is unacceptable, they can only be prescribed by a doctor.
Having decided to take this or that drug to strengthen the immunity in children and adults, you need to act only according to the instructions.

Plant components can cause no less reaction than, for example, interferon.
