Within every individual on planet Earth is a powerful immune system, designed to protect the body from outside invaders. Sadly, the immune system has been under-emphasized by the mainstream in recent years. This has resulted in many people overlooking both the behaviors that hurt their immune system and those that help it.

Parents must be equipped with strategies for supporting their children’s immune systems. Illnesses are a normal part of childhood and play a pivotal role in developing a robust immune system. Childhood illnesses are almost a rite of passage. Through recovering from illness, children gain an understanding of the power of their bodies to overcome obstacles and learn how certain foods, nutrients, and rest can equip their bodies to heal.
