Colds and flu can spread quickly in schools and daycares — but healthy habits can help support your child’s immune system.

There’s no magic supplement, but a balanced diet with fruits, veggies, whole grains and lean protein, plus enough sleep, regular activity and stress management, can make a real difference.

“Children who maintain good overall health — including a well-functioning immune system — may have better long-term wellness into adulthood,” says Dr. Morgan T. Decker, a pediatrician at Mount Nittany Health.
