In my role as a pediatrician, one of the most common questions I get asked by parents this time of year is, “What can we do to protect our child from getting sick?”
Nutrition and diet:
A good diet has little to do with losing weight. It is also incorrect to think that if you or your child is at a desired weight, you don’t have to concern yourself with what he or she is eating. It is clear that a diet filled with processed sugars and lots of artificial dyes and chemicals are not good for a child (or an adult). This is both because of what these “junk foods” are doing to the body, as well as the nutritious foods they are replacing. Most highly processed foods contain little nutritional value and replace fruits and vegetables that are jam packed with vitamins and nutrients.

Activity and exercise
Getting exercise does not have to mean going to a scheduled class or a trainer. Most children will happily run around and play. Do your best, when possible, to take advantage of parks and indoor playgrounds to have your children exercise.

Sleep
A good night’s sleep will not only help you feel good but it is critical for overall health. The body and brain has what is called a “circadian rhythm”, and having good consistent sleep is critical for good emotional and metabolic health.

Hygiene
The best way to avoid infection is to try to avoid exposure to illness. Most common infections are spread by exchange of bodily fluids such as saliva or stool, or through airborne particles.
There are no guarantees.Inevitably, about 2-3 weeks after school and playgroups restart after the holidays even the hardiest children will come down with viral illnesses or strep.
With G-d’s help and by giving our children the tools to stay healthy we can build the strongest possible structure to weather the seasonal viruses and keep our kids healthy.

As surely as the leaves change colors and a chill in the air makes us dig out our winter clothes, Influenza virus or ”the flu” shows up mid to late fall in the US.

The flu can be thought of as a bad cold that has some specific common symptoms. These include high fever, headache, muscle aches, and a sore throat. The illness also tends to last longer than most common colds and to be more severe.

Flu season peaks December through February but can last as late as until May.

Have a healthy and safe winter!
