Vitamin D and Your Autoimmunity

Thanks to my friend Lena for forwarding this information to me on the importance of Vitamin D and your immune system.  I can't stress how important it is for everyone to have adequate Vitamin D intake...

Help Keep your Child's Immune System Strong

If any of you are worried about potential flu threats to your wee ones and the inability to protect them, there is good news!  There ARE things you can do help protect your children from getting sick by making their immune system stronger.  Below are just a few tips:

• probiotic supplement
• healthy diet
• sunshine!
• water
• make your home a smoke free zone
• fight fungi (keep home mold free)
• wash bedding once per week in hot water and put pillows in dust-proof zippered covers to keep away asthma-triggering dust mites
• wash floors and windowsills weekly with warm soapy water to protect kids from lead
• keep home pest free without using pesticides
• cut out chemical cleaning products
• wash child's hands, bottles, and toys often!

Good luck,

Mommy Bridget
