The nutritionist told how to properly harden the child's body and what are the benefits of such procedures for immunity.

It is no secret that it is much easier and simpler not to treat diseases, but to prevent them. For this, it is necessary to constantly and seriously work on strengthening the immune system and increasing its protective properties. Proper hardening can have a real health-improving effect.

“The meaning of hardening is in the same type of loads that are repeated often, most often cold ones, as a result of which the protective reactions of the immune system are activated, which means that resistance to cold diseases increases, first of all “, says the expert.

But together with the strengthening of immunity, there are other pleasant “side” effects: appetite improves, digestion normalizes, mental and physical performance increases, mood becomes noticeably better.

However, if tempering is done incorrectly, it can be harmful. What rules are important to know and follow? The most important thing is that only a healthy child can be hardened! It is better to start procedures in the summer.

Do not take long breaks. Hardening procedures should be regular. Create a certain system, for example, pouring cool water every other day.

Too long breaks and chaotic procedures not only reduce the body's resistance, but can also lead to the opposite effect.

Another important rule – gradualness. Increase the cold load gradually, you don't need to immediately start with dousing with ice water.

In addition to cold dousing, you can also use gymnastics, massage, air and water baths, swimming, reflexology, sauna, bath as hardening procedures.< /p>
