Children who are frequently ill often face significant challenges in their overall growth and development. Sickness interrupts growth as nutrients are diverted to support recovery.

Children with weak immunity are at risk for impaired growth and are 2x more likely to become shorter adults* 

Recognizing the signs of a low immune system, such as frequent colds, infections, and fatigue, is crucial. By addressing these symptoms early and taking proactive steps to strengthen your child's immune defenses, you can help support their healthy growth. This involves providing a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, ensuring adequate sleep, encouraging regular physical activity, and maintaining good hygiene practices. Additionally, consulting with healthcare professionals and intervening with an oral nutrition supplement are recommended to support and boost your child's immune system.

Frequent Illness and Growth Gaps in Children

Did you know that your child being sickly is also a growth risk? When he’s often sick, it means that he might have low immunity. It’s time to reconsider his diet and nutrition if he is experiencing any of these low immune system symptoms:

• Is absent in school almost monthly.
• Gets easily tired and weak, and is often matamlay.
• Doesn’t want to play because he feels ill from the common colds or flu.

Your child might be more prone to getting sick for several reasons, such as:

• Exposure to unclean surroundings.
• Low immune system.
• Lack of vitamins and minerals in her diet If your child keeps getting sick, his opportunities to learn and grow decrease, too.
