Can you believe it? August is here. Meaning it’s time to get ready to go back to school. This means buying school supplies, lunch items, new school clothes and a new school year. Since 2020, a typical school routine has been non-existent; virtual classrooms, masks, desks with dividers, reduced socialization with one another. Thankfully, this fall semester will be a semblance of what school used to look like; crowded school yards, playtime, full classrooms and smiling faces. With all the excitement of going back to school especially post COVID-19 pandemic, we must be aware of sicknesses and our immune system.
Let's keep it simple. Here are some common vitamins to give your kiddo's immune system a boost:
Vitamin A:
Carrots
Pumpkin
Sweet potato
Butternut squash
Dark leafy green vegetables
Vitamin C:
Spinach
Kale
Strawberries
Brussel sprouts
Vitamin D:
Salmon
Tuna
Sardines
Mackerel
Vitamin E:
Peanuts
Sunflower oil
Soybean oil
Hazelnuts
Almonds
Iron:
Oysters
Canned tuna
Canned sardines
Turkey
Chicken
Most multivitamins have these vitamins and more to assist in boosting that immune system before school begins. Let’s all take our part in being safe, remaining healthy and having a great year of learning, sick free.
