Facing with Corona epidemic H5N1, the health of pregnant women and children should be maximally protected by active measures in the following article.
At the end of 2019 and early 2020, the epidemic is widespread. The whole world is struggling to deal with acute pneumonia epidemic caused by the new Corona virus. As of February 4, 2020, there were 20659 cases worldwide. Of which 427 cases died. In Vietnam, there have also been 10 cases of infection recorded nationwide. Along with that are hundreds of suspected cases are being monitored.
While the Corona epidemic has not been controlled, the H5N1 epidemic broke out in China. Vietnam is a country with a very long border with China. Trading activities between the two sides are very strong. Therefore, the risk of disease transmission is also very great. People with weak resistance are vulnerable targets to infectious viruses. Among them, mothers and children are in the group in need of maximum protection.
The immune system is the human's natural defense against pathogens. It works against the invasion and attack of bacteria, viruses, parasites ... through a series of steps called the immune response. In other words, the immune system will enhance the ability of mothers and children to "surf fluids".
The immune system is scattered all over the human body. Amidan throat, pharynx, digestive system, bone marrow, skin, lymph nodes, spleen, thin lining inside the nose and genitals.
In children, the immune system is not really complete. Especially children from 6 months to 3 years old have a very weak immune system. So children are very sick during this period. Therefore, before the outbreak of the Corona epidemic and the subsequent H5N1, children, especially children aged 6 months - 3 years old need to be carefully cared for and protected.
Another object that should also be considered during an epidemic is pregnant women. According to scientists, the pregnant woman's immune system will decline more than usual. This is because the mother's immune system has to suppress it to prevent the body from rejecting the fetus. So pregnant mothers need to be extremely careful in this epidemic season.
At this time, pregnant women and children need to pay attention to health more than ever. Here are a few ways to increase the resistance of mothers and children:
For infants, exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months. This helps to supplement all necessary nutrients to strengthen the baby's resistance. Parents also pay attention to vaccinate children fully and on schedule. To strengthen the child's resistance, mothers should supplement probiotics to enhance the intestinal immune system for the child. When the child's body has enough probiotics, they will overpower and eliminate the harmful bacteria.
A nutritious, scientific diet is an effective way to boost the immune system. So in the child's menu as well as the mother's should have many fruits and vegetables. Foods rich in vitamins A, C and antioxidants are also essential.
We can strengthen our resistance with a healthy and scientific diet
Proper exercise will help your body stay healthy and fight off the disease. It is good to be active in the yard or in a sunny place at this time. Because vitamin D is essential for the immune system. They will help the body produce white blood cells that help protect the body.
Sleep and the immune system are closely related. Those who have a good night's sleep will have more antibodies that protect the body. So pregnant women and young children need enough sleep and deep sleep. Infants need more than 18 hours of sleep each day. Meanwhile, a toddler takes about 12-13 hours. And preschoolers need about 10 hours of sleep a day. With mothers pregnant is more than 7 hours a day.
According to experts, Corona virus spreads strongly in cold and low humidity environments. So to limit infection, we should leave the door open and the air well ventilated. You should also clean your home regularly. Keep indoor air well ventilated, do not let the air conditioner get too big below 25 degrees.
Items such as blankets, blankets, pillows, rugs ... need to be washed regularly. From there, limit the status of bacteria and viruses that multiply and develop. Do not forget to disinfect toys for children as well.
A dry, well-ventilated living environment will greatly help the health of mothers and children
In short, the immune systems of mothers and children are weaker than others, so it is limited to crowded places. If it is necessary to go outside, use a mask. Besides, mothers and children often wash their hands with soap ... Strengthen all preventive measures to safely overcome the epidemic season.
