Summer break is a time of rest for kids—plenty of outdoor activity and sunshine keeps their immune systems strong, with vitamin D playing a key role. Plus, warmer weather limits virus spread. But the return to school brings several challenges—and a higher risk of illness:
- A shift in routine (early mornings, new schedules)
- Stress from adapting to a classroom environment
- Cooler weather that facilitates viral transmission
- The start of flu season
To help your child stay well as school begins, here are some practical tips focused on immune support:
Movement & Rest
Encourage daily outdoor play and ensure adequate sleep—both essential for strong immunity. Physical activity boosts circulation, helping immune cells do their job.
Proper Hygiene
Teach thorough handwashing before meals, after toilet use, and when coming home. This simple habit is one of the best defenses against spreading viruses.
Balanced Nutrition
A fiber-rich diet supports a healthy gut microbiome—essential because around 80% of our immune cells reside in the gut. A well-functioning microbiome helps the immune system distinguish friend from foe.
Microbiome Care
A balanced gut microbiome supports both innate and acquired immunity. Disruptions (dysbiosis) have been linked to IBS, inflammatory conditions, metabolic disorders, and even reduced resistance to respiratory infections.
Probiotics During Back-to-School
Consider targeted probiotics to help maintain microbiome balance and support immune resilience:
Recommended: b.imune
Formulated with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL 1505, supported by vitamin D and 450 mg of beta-glucans—ingredients shown to enhance resistance to respiratory infections in children.
Beie. Tip: Strengthen your child’s back-to-school immunity with b.imune and ease the transition into the school year.
Why This Matters:
- Getting into a school environment exposes kids to more pathogens.
- Maintaining a strong microbiome is crucial for effective immunity.
- Proactive steps now can help prevent illness and support healthy routines.
