The physical health problems of children have always been a concern for parents. After all, only when children are healthy can they have the basic conditions for growth.
Therefore, many parents do not want their children to get sick, and think that it is a good thing that the children will not get sick all the time. But is it really good for children not to get sick when they were young?
Children who often get sick or don’t get sick often when they were young, who is better in physical condition when they grow up? The answer is different from what you think
When I was still in my hometown, there was a naughty child Xiaobeng in the village. He was usually very "wild" and had no worries when playing, so he often got sick due to cold and hygiene issues. However, the parents of Xiaobeng didn't know what the child got sick.
So Xiaobeng's parents are very worried and anxious. After all, their children are sick several times a year, but Xiaobeng gets sick frequently, which makes Xiaobeng's parents wonder if their children have some "bad diseases".
However, although Xiaobeng got sick more often when she was a child, she became very healthy when she grew up. Not only were there no serious illnesses, but minor illnesses were not common. People in the village said that this was the "had the disease" when she was a child, and she would not get sick when she grew up.
In contrast, the second boy from the village chief’s family did not get sick when he was , but his health was not very good when he grew up. is not only weak, but also often gets sick. Sometimes a cold can be delayed for a long time. The situation of
Xiaobeng is actually a typical example of "small diseases are constantly happening, and serious diseases are not caused". So, what is the reason?
●I often get sick when I am young, and I have stronger resistance when I grow up
Children often have minor illnesses when I am young. In fact, is a behavior of "exercising immunity" . This is similar to when we get vaccinated. The working principle of vaccines is mostly by injecting inactive virus protein shells and other substances into the human body. These substances are not dangerous, but they can stimulate the body's immunity to produce antibodies, so that after the human body encounters this pathogenic body in the future, it can quickly produce antibodies to eliminate them.
When a child is sick when he is young, the immune system in the body will begin to produce corresponding antibodies. If is often sick, the child's immune system will become stronger due to frequent stimulation. can "skilledly deal with" a variety of pathogenic bodies.
When the child faces these pathogenic bodies again, the child's body will produce antibodies more comprehensively and quickly. This phenomenon is manifested as "I get more sick when I'm young and I get less sick when I'm young."
●I often get sick when I’m young, and I’m more experienced when I grow up
The growth process of a child is actually a process of accumulating experience. If a child gets sick frequently when he is young, he will have a certain understanding of certain treatment scenarios and behaviors, so that after he grows up, he will naturally avoid these scenarios and behaviors, reduce the frequency of contact with the pathogenic body, and thus avoid getting sick by himself.
This is like when we were walking, we saw a stone and kicked it. As a result, the stone was too heavy. We did not kick the stone away, but instead kicked it away.
After getting this experience, when we encounter a stone on the road again, we know that it cannot be kicked. In other words, if a child often gets sick in certain scenarios when he is young, he will gain a lot of experience and knows which scenarios will cause illness, so as to actively or passively avoid these scenarios.
●When you are young, you often get sick, and you have better habits to grow up
Children's habits are gradually developed. In fact, when children are young, when their views on right and wrong and discrimination are relatively weak, they don't know whether the habits they have formed are good or bad.
And when certain habits often cause you to feel uncomfortable, the child knows that this habit is wrong, so he corrects it from the bottom of his heart.
For example, when a child was a child, he had poor hygiene habits and didn’t know that he had to wash his hands before and after meals. As a result, he often used dirty hands to eat, and every time he did this, the child would get sick.After
, the child will understand that this bad hygiene habit will make him very uncomfortable, so he will change his habits and develop the habit of washing his hands before and after meals, thereby reducing the chance of illness.
Although children are sick when they are young, they are training their resistance and taking their resistance to a higher level, parents must realize that the more sick the child, the better.
Many children who often get sick are not because of physical problems, but more because of parents feeding improperly and not paying attention to hygiene, causing their children to often suffer from minor illnesses.
Parents pay attention to these three points, which can improve children's immunity and make children less sick
1) Check the children's diet
Many parents do not pay much attention to feeding, thinking that as long as the children are full, some elderly people even adopt "smash-up" feeding to make their children eat as much as possible, but in fact, this approach is wrong.
As the saying goes, "If you want your child to be safe, you have three parts hunger and cold." It means that if you want your child to get sick less, you cannot eat too much or wear too warmly.
We all know that children are growing up and need rich nutrition, and their stomach capacity is limited, so every bite of food must be nutritious.
Therefore, in terms of diet, parents must provide children with rich and diverse foods as much as possible to ensure their children's nutritional intake.
2) Develop good sleep habits
I believe many parents have heard of "sleep well and be in good health". This sentence: Developing good sleep habits can also help children improve their immunity to a certain extent.
Therefore, parents should let their children develop good habits of sleep from childhood and let their children fall asleep before 10 pm. In addition, don’t let your child play too excitedly before going to bed, as this will help improve the quality of sleep.
3) Take your children to outdoor exercise
Exercise can strengthen your body and help your children grow taller. In addition, taking more interactive exercises can also allow children to breathe fresh air, and at the same time increase the chances of children's contact with other children and help children improve their social skills.
"3-6 Exercise Guidelines for Preschool Children in my country" mentions that children need to perform more than 3 hours of activity every day and exercise outdoors for at least 2 hours. Therefore, parents must take their children to outdoor activities more often.
is written at the end
Generally speaking, parents do not need to deliberately worry about whether their children are sick when they were young. As long as their children's illness is not immune system disease , not a malignant disease, and can be treated scientifically, then children generally do not have any major problems.
Of course, if you can help your children develop good habits, exercise their physical fitness, enhance their immunity, and make them less sick, it is also a good choice. What do you think?
