13 Sept 05:41 Key points summarised by AI

As Covid-19 cases surge among children and vaccines are unavailable for those under 12, parents are prioritizing nutrition to bolster their kids' immune systems.
Experts emphasize a balanced diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, while advising against processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats.
Key immune-boosting nutrients include vitamins C and D, zinc, beta-carotene, and omega-3s, found in foods like citrus, eggs, nuts, fish, and green leafy vegetables.
Parents are encouraged to be creative in meal preparation, involving children and incorporating immunity-enhancing ingredients such as holy basil and mushrooms into kid-friendly dishes.
Beyond diet, a holistic approach to immune health includes ensuring adequate sleep, regular exercise, and stress reduction for children.
