With the school year in full swing, many families in Quincy MA find themselves dealing with a sudden wave of sniffles and sick days. This fall, why not get ahead of it by adopting some simple, powerful habits that help keep your family healthy and thriving?
Pick One—Or Try Them All!
- Sleep at least 7 hours nightly: Quality sleep helps the immune system recharge and heal. It’s also essential for mental clarity and emotional balance—for both kids and adults.
- Get Adjusted: Chiropractic adjustments help optimize your central nervous system, which in turn regulates your immune system. Chiropractic kids are often some of the healthiest!
- Limit Sugar and Processed Snacks: Skip the sugary, salty, and fried foods when possible—especially those with preservatives. Choose fresh fruits and healthy options at home to offset school-time indulgences.
- Cut Back on Dairy: Try almond or rice milk. Many kids with ear infections, congestion, or asthma improve dramatically when dairy is reduced—especially with regular chiropractic care.
- Exercise Daily: A fun morning workout with your kids can reduce crankiness and get the lymphatic system moving to boost immunity.
- Let Fevers Work: Don’t rush to lower mild fevers. The fever is a natural defense, helping the body learn and respond to pathogens more efficiently. Monitor closely, but let the body do its job when safe.
- Eat Breakfast Every Day: “Break the fast” with a healthy, protein-packed breakfast to kick-start metabolism and focus for the day.
