As summer transitions to winter, families across the UAE are rejoicing as the mercury starts to fall and enjoying the outdoors becomes a welcome reality again. However, with the drop in the temperature also comes an unwelcome visitor; the cold and flu season. YaYa Vitamins give you top tips for surviving the season.
According to healthcare professionals, the change in season causes high levels of allergens in the atmosphere which can cause infections. Added to this is the fact that the genetic make-up of viruses undergo changes every year – so just as our immune systems start to get used to one strain, new strains appear.
YaYa Vitamins, the market leader in delicious gelatin and gluten-free gummy vitamins, has some top tips to keep your kids fighting fit this winter.
- Make taking vitamins an essential component of your family’s daily routine
Research shows that children require a range of vitamins and minerals to make sure their immune system remains in tip top condition. The different types of YaYa vitamins have all been expertly formulated to support your child in fighting viruses and infections such as cold and flu.
Ideal for children aged two and above, the range is flavored with real fruit juices and comes in the form of chewable animal shaped gums that are free from preservatives, artificial colors, gelatin, egg, milk, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts.
- Get active, get outdoors!
The UAE is blessed with an abundance of sunshine and this time of the year is the perfect time to encourage your little explorers to get outside and get active. Nicknamed the “sunshine vitamin”, research has shown that Vitamin D is crucial to activating immune defences and experts recommend that spending just 10 minutes outside a day in the sun can to help boost virus fighting ability.
However, the use of sunscreen can reduce our body’s abilities to absorb Vitamin D, so it’s still important to provide supplementary nutrients.
- Vegetables, vegetables, and more vegetables!
Ensuring your child has a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables is imperative to helping develop a healthy immune system. Citrus fruit, red bell pepper, broccoli, garlic, spinach, and ginger have all been proven to help prevent winter colds and flu. However, guaranteeing your little one gets the nutrients they need from food can be testing at times if you have a picky eater. Luckily YaYa is on hand to support you in nurturing your child’s healthy body by providing an alternative source of nutrition that is fun to eat!
