Back to school: How to enhance your immune system against viruses

La vuelta al cole en la nueva normalidad

Marta Hifas |

Since last March we have turned to enhance the immune system and children's defenses maintaining adequate levels of Vitamins A, B, C and D; iron; copper; selenium... The challenge continues with the beginning of the course and the arrival of the coldest months of the year: How to improve immunity in children during pandemia?

Prevention + protection

The growing incidence of COVID-19 He points out that the second wave of the Coronavirus could coincide with the return to school. He SARS-COV-2 virus It adds to the colds, flu and respiratory viruses that also return in September.

How does the new coronavirus affect the children's immune system?

According to the latest study of the Sant Joan de Déu hospital in Barcelona, ​​the infection rate in children is up to six times lower than that of the general population and these record mild paintings than older people. However, it is also found that children They infect the same as adults if they are exposed to the source of infection. The virus is not especially virulent among the child population, but the measures of prevention and protection They are fundamental for minimize contagion. Besides, enhance your immune system It will help them with infectious processes of diverse viral load.

Fountain: Spanish Pediatrics Association -Inflies the food in the immunity of our children?

The children's immune system

Until 6 years, immunity has a high degree of unpredictability. Among the possible causes we could include the immaturity of the defenses and the detoxification system and, even, nutritional deficits more accused before the presence of viruses, bacteria or other pathogens.

A child is not an "little" adult

The Dr. Begara, integrative pediatrician, explains that during the first years of life, the "defenses are very poor and have a bad regulation." As he adds, epithelial barriers are not yet formed; The amount of mucus generated is insufficient and the cilia, responsible for extracting the microbes from the respiratory tract, do not move as in adulthood. An immature microbiota and low hydrochloric acid levels complete the characteristics described by the pediatrician, highlighting that they are not small adults and that their response to diseases is different.

How the Imaduro Immature State behaves before viruses and bacteria

Identify the threat The children's immune system has limitations to recognize encapsulated bacteria such as meningococci and pneumococci, responsible for many of the infections that affect children around 10 years of age.

Antibody production B lymphocytes have limitations to produce all antibodies. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) does not occur autonomously to 10 years and is responsible for protecting us from the respiratory tract and saliva.

Inflammatory response The number of total lymphocytes in children is unstable. They are mostly naif lymphocytes that have not yet come into contact with antigens, so they develop a pro -inflammatory immune response.

How the Imaduro Immature State behaves before viruses and bacteria

Difficulty identifying the threat

Limited antibody production

Pro -inflammatory immune response

How to favor the immune response: nutrients and functional components

Biological balance implies maintaining adequate levels of protection and immunity, how? Remember that the body has Immune memory, so you learn from all threats to counterattack when you reappear. To avoid the deterioration of the immune system, health professionals recommend avoiding unnecessary use of antibiotics since this has been related to the increase in autoimmune diseases. The Lack of sleep or vitamin D, as well as a food lacking prebiotics and probiotics They could also limit the agency's resilience, its cognitive development and alter the Intestinal microbiota.

Immunomodulators and immune response modifiers

An immunomodulator is a substance capable of modifying the immune response in the body. According to the Dictionary of the University of Navarra Clinic (CUN), these "increase or decrease the ability to produce antibodies" so it can also act on defense mechanisms in different situations. The beta-glucanos present in some foods such as cereals such as oats and fungi like him Reishihave proven to be able to stimulate immunity -related cells such as B and T lymphocytes, but also the cells NK (Natural Killer), responsible for regulating our immune response.

Prebiotics and probiotics to balance the microbiota

The risk of severe COVID-19 infection is more common in case of hypertension, diabetes and obesity. These risk factors have not only been linked to inappropriate nutritional habits, but also have links to the imbalances of intestinal microbiota.
Certain studies find a causal relationship between intestinal dysbiosis, Diabetes and obesity.
In addition, the cytokine storm In serious COVID patients, causing generalized inflammation and tissue damage, it could be related to the response generated in the intestinal tract.

On alert: how to recognize the ‘enemy’

Between the common symptomatology of COVID-19 Highlights the fever, cough (not sneeze), the Drowning sensation, as well as the loss of taste and smell and even other symptoms associated with the flu as weakness, muscle aches, headache... This common picture in seasonal epidemics further complicates the detection of coronavirus infection. A recently published study in the magazine Rhinology He has cleared some differences between cold, flu and covid:
  • Patients with coronavirus They are not able to detect bitter or sweet flavors.
  • Patients with coronavirus They lose the meaning of smell but do not usually have their nose covered or dripping.

In summary…

The return to school implies a biological change for the little ones, accused in this case for the Covid context. Maintaining an adequate diet that guarantees adequate nutritional levels and promoting healthy lifestyle habits can help improve the immunity of the little ones; All this without forgetting the prevention and protection measures advised by the health authorities.
Question: In child elders, they still cannot take tablets, but perhaps these syrups are somewhat short, what would be the dosage? (for example, children from 45 kg). Thank you so much Answer: In those cases the capsules can be opened and dissolved in water or orange juice and the dose would be based on the application. The bio line of 1 to 3 capsules. If you opt for the syrups the dose would be 23-24 ml per day, so the open capsules best. Q: Would you recommend taking both syrups at the same time? A: You can take both mixed syrups. In that case, the recommended daily dose would be distributed between both syrups. Ex: If the child weighs 16 kg, 8 ml of Dr.GB and 8 ml of Dr. Immune Five. Q: How does the mother's microbiota affect when the child is breastfeeding through breast milk? A: A correct balance of the mother's microbiota generates influential metabolites in the mother's own immunity, which can be transferred to the child during the breastfeeding period. Therefore a correct balance of the mother's microbiota, facilitates the correct immune regulation of the child. Q: Children under 8 years as we can give you Reishi at night for sleep taking into account that DR Rei carries vitamin C. A: Dr.rei can be contributed perfectly since vitamin C does not influence the difficulty of sleeping. In fact, it is very possible that it benefits above all if there is a vitamin C deficit, since it has been seen that the vitamin C deficit is associated with a higher level of histamine, which is stimulating and therefore can cause vigil. P: DR. Immune Five could also be given to children with ulcerative colitis and treatment with mesalacin and corticosteroids ????? A: Yes, without inconvenience. Q: And if the child takes immunosuppressants! Could this immunomodulator take ???? A: Yes, since the action of fungi will be modulating, which means that it does not necessarily "stimulate." In studies that have even suffered a renal transplant, taking fungi in extract format (much more concentrated), its benefit has been proven without interfering with immunosuppressants. Q: How could we do a previous cleaning of the intestine in children with fungi if there are dysbiosis with proteolytic growth? A: It depends on the child's age we opted for one product or another. If you are over 5 years old, mushrooms could already be introduced in dust format, so Bio-Itestin and Bio Shii/Bio Ganoderma that have bactericidal action could be used. If it is under 5 - 6 years, then the option is DR.GB, which exercises a microbiota regulator function. Depending on the weight, we calculate the dose. Q: I bought Dr. Rei several times and I love it. Are they sweetened with agave? A: In the recommended dosage, the amount of agave that is provided is also taken into account, being totally safe even in daily continuing shots whenever it is within the recommended dose. It is also important to note that the treatment applied to the agave syrup is decisive for the conservation of its healthy properties, so we consider it essential that it is 100% ecological and with the least possible processing.
