As kids have gone back to school, they will have a higher chance of coming in contact with viruses and bacteria that cause colds, flu and upset stomachs. Some of the support we can give them is nutritious foods, enough sleep as well as a multi vitamin, pro-biotics, Omega -3 and lots of hydration.
One of the biggest supports of their immune system that we can do is reducing their sugar intake. Studies have shown that white sugar and fructose found in the high-fructose corn syrup affects the white cells which are responsible for our immune defense. About 75 grams of sugar will affect the white cells for about 5 hours. Which means that breakfast high in sugar will make your child vulnerable to catching something during their time at school.
