Question
My child has been constantly crying and not eating much lately. What should I feed my child to boost their resistance?
Answer
It is recommended that growing children need 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day. Poor sleep can lead to a decrease in the number of T cells in the body responsible for fighting off viruses and tumors, increasing the likelihood of falling ill. Help your child understand the body’s self-healing abilities, observe their recovery speed when they have a cold or a scrape, and teach them to trust their body’s instincts so that they won’t over-rely on medication.
