Question

My twin sons are now three and a half years old, and they have very weak constitutions. They almost get sick every month, and they won’t get better without injections. What methods can be used to improve their constitution?

Answer

At birth, children receive a certain amount of immunoglobulins from their mothers, which can fight against common bacteria and viruses. By around six months old, the antibodies received from the mother gradually decrease, while their own immune system has not yet been fully established. To prevent colds, the following methods can be used to enhance their constitution:

  1. Provide a well-rounded diet to help boost their immunity.
  2. Increase outdoor activities and sun exposure.
  3. Consume foods rich in vitamins, including fruits and vegetables.
  4. Consume milk and meat in moderate amounts daily to increase antibodies. These methods help to strengthen the children’s immune system, thereby reducing the frequency of illness.
