KID'S COLD & FLU REMEDIES: GENTLE, NATURAL SUPPORT FOR IMMUNE HEALTH
Kid's cold and flu remedies are important because the immune system is an interactive network of organs, white blood cells and proteins that protect the body from outside invaders. It detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, worms, and other foreign substances, distinguishing them from our healthy tissue. There are two main parts to the immune system:
The innate immune system, which we are born with, is the body's first line of defence against pathogens. It responds similarly to all germs and foreign substances, which is why it is sometimes called the "nonspecific" immune system.
The adaptive immune system develops through exposure to microbes or chemicals released by microbes. It is tasked with taking over whenever the innate immune system cannot destroy a pathogen. It does this by identifying the specific invader.
So, while adaptive immunity may be a slower response than innate immunity, it is also more targeted in its action.
Both immune systems work in tandem.
Children have immature immune systems, making them especially vulnerable to the cold and flu and other infections. As a result, they can get as many as 8 to 10 colds a year in early life. Establishing healthy lifestyle hygiene that includes adequate sleep, a healthy, balanced diet chock full of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and protein, and a healthy microbiome can all promote robust immune function in our little ones. Supplementation can also help compensate for potential nutritional gaps while building robust immunity and are a great way to help children fight off infections. Last but not least, natural cold and flu remedies are effective without being overly harsh or exposing children to unnecessary chemicals commonly found in conventional cold and flu products.
