Stress and pressure situations are known to weaken our immune system/ShutterStock
Especially in winter, it is important and desirable to strengthen the immune system, so that its fight against the various viruses will be smoother and better,
Perin Chen Abo,
aromatherapist, explains.
Proper nutrition
We will nourish our body and that of our baby with foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
Reduce foods high in sugars and empty carbohydrates and foods with a lot of fat and processed ingredients, which will increase inflammation and weaken the immune system.
It is also recommended to reduce dairy products during this period, because it is known that dairy products encourage inflammation and problems in the respiratory system.
Reducing pressure and stress
Stress and pressure situations are known to weaken our immune system.
Our little ones have to get used to new things they didn't know every time.
Every change they experience, such as entry into settings, adjustment days, routine life, holidays and more, affects the emotional state of our babies, and even their immune system.
The common stress is in a loop that continues all the time, certainly in the current period when reality changes every day and the stability is shaken even for us as adults.
So what?
Try to keep the routine as much as possible, a familiar routine that will give them a safety net.
In addition, try to increase lots of touch, warmth and hugs, and try to find time with them that is just yours, without screens or other distractions.
Strengthen them with kind words (yes, even tiny babies feel the high frequencies of the kind words) and play them pleasant music.
Essential oils (of course!)
The essential oils are known to strengthen the immune system, help and relieve when there are symptoms and medical conditions, and even strengthen emotionally and give calmness and confidence.
They are 100% natural, which is exactly what we would want for us and for them.
Essential oils such as lavender, myrtle, Ravintsera are excellent for you and your little ones to strengthen the immune system and open the respiratory system, I recommend using a home oil burner or preparing mixtures to apply on the body.
* It is recommended to consult a professional before preparing the mixture for application.
In addition, today you can find a variety of off-the-shelf products that are suitable for this period - strengthening mixtures, essential oils designed for strengthening and prevention, for the treatment of stuffy nose, cough, runny nose, phlegm, sore throat and also for relaxation and peaceful sleep.

The Jama application was established with the aim of providing a response to mothers of babies between the ages of birth and three, and to gather for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.
All the content in the application "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to the stages of his development, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.
The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and to create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
