5 “easy to find, easy to prepare” foods to help boost your baby’s natural immunity

eva.vn – The epidemic brings an unexpected “early summer vacation” to children while the mother will be busier preparing the meal for the family. If you know the “secret” to using foods that help boost immunity, you will be able to keep your baby healthy without spending too much time. 

Children are one of the vulnerable targets in the epidemic season because their immune systems are still weak. Children in the immune gap period from 6 months to 3 years old need to add immune-boosting foods to their diet.

Here are some foods that help boost your baby’s natural immunity that you can process into many simple and delicious dishes.

1. Vegetables rich in vitamin C

To improve the immune system, you should give your baby foods rich in vitamin C such as broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, strawberries, citrus fruits, etc.

Broccoli has a number of immune system boosters, including vitamins C, A, and E, and several antioxidants. Spinach (spinach) contains vitamins A, E, C, and K, folate, manganese, zinc, selenium, and iron. To ensure nutrition, mothers should steam broccoli and quickly boil spinach when preparing baby food.

“Mothers should add to their baby’s menu vegetables rich in Vitamin C to help strengthen resistance such as broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, strawberries, citrus fruits, etc.”

During the epidemic season, you should buy sweet potatoes because this food can be stored in a dry place for 7-10 days. Not only does it provide vitamin C to help boost immunity, sweet potatoes also provide starch and fiber.

Regarding fruits, mothers should choose strawberries as berries that contain many antioxidants, which help the body strengthen the immune system. Do not forget to add to your baby’s snack menu citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruits … This is a familiar resistance-boosting food group with abundant vitamin C.

2. Lean meat and salmon are nutritious

Salmon is rich in omega 3 fats that not only help with brain development but also reduce inflammation, prevent colds and respiratory infections. This fat can help strengthen the body’s resistance by enhancing the function of immune cells.

“Salmon is rich in omega 3 fats that help reduce inflammation and boost immunity, so you can add it to your baby’s menu.”

Besides salmon, lean meat can help boost the immune system thanks to its protein content that helps maintain strength and zinc, which can help white blood cells to fight infections. Mom can process lean meat into attractive dishes such as scrambled eggs, tofu stuffed with meat …

3. Nuts rich in healthy fats

Nuts such as almonds are the perfect source of vitamin E thanks to their high content of healthy fats and vitamins. Just a small fistful of almonds can be a healthy snack that is good for your baby’s immune system.

“Almonds and walnuts provide lots of healthy fats, which can become a quick snack when mom is too busy”

Walnuts contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids that are good for a baby’s health. Experts believe that omega-3 helps the body fight disease. One small study found that omega-3 reduced the number of respiratory infections in children. Mothers can combine walnuts with yogurt or cereals to make nutritious snacks for babies.

4. Eggs and yogurt rich in vitamin D

Eggs are one of the rare foods with vitamin D. Eggs also contain several other immune-boosting nutrients like B-vitamins and selenium. This is also a food that helps mothers prepare a quick breakfast for their baby with boiled eggs and fried eggs

Yogurt is rich in vitamin D, and contains probiotics that help digest food and help prevent disease. You can feed your baby yogurt with nuts and fruits. This is a great suggestion for a baby’s snack when mom is too busy.

5. Formula milk fortified with IgG from colostrum

To strengthen the child’s resistance, mothers can also add to their baby’s menu powdered milk or fresh milk with high levels of IgG antibodies present in colostrum. This is a way to strengthen natural resistance that many Vietnamese mothers trust, especially for children in the immune gap period.

Currently, ColosCare nutritional supplements are products with the highest IgG1200+ content on the market. Together with the duo HMO 2’LF and Lactoferrin, ColosCare helps to prevent infections and boost immunity.
