Thankfully, kids can have a sturdy little immune s

Thankfully, kids can have a sturdy little immune system that’s fully developed by the time they’re 7 or 8 years old. But how they live and the lifestyle you set up for them can either weaken or strengthen this growing immune system. As a caring parent, you may be hoping to learn how to improve immunity in your kids, and whether the process is any different than boosting immunity in adults.

So, what can you do to improve your kid’s immunity and help reduce their chances of getting sick?

🤱 Breastfeeding your baby
Colostrum present in the mother’s milk provide powerful immune boosters to infants. In fact, babies who are breastfed for at least six months have a better developed immune system and are less prone to infections and allergies.

🍽️ A healthy balanced diet
Eating enough nutrients as part of a varied diet is required for the health and function of all cells, including immune cells. Processed, packaged, and sugary foods, when eaten regularly, can negatively affect a healthy immune system. Therefore, a healthy diet of nutrient-packed whole foods can help boost your child’s defenses.

💤 Sleep
Sleep is critical for our immune systems. Help your children catch plenty of z’s and build strong immune systems by establishing a calming bedtime routine. Try to cut down on screen time before bed. And encourage them to take naps or quiet times if their night-time sleep isn’t adequate.

🏃 Exercise
Studies have found that high activity in younger children boosts their immune responses. So enjoy daily activities with your kids.

💊 Supplementation
While filling your child’s plate with nutrient-packed foods is a great goal, busy school days, sleepovers, and family holidays make it hard to keep their diets constantly healthy and fresh. In this case, supplements can be your backup soldiers, ensuring that your child receives the nutrients they need to maintain a strong immune system.

@des_reen "That moment when you and your partner decide it’s the right time to start trying for a baby, there’s so many things that come to mind but being as healthy as I could be was my priority! I’ve always been an advocate of supplements; even more so when I found out I was pregnant. Throughout my pregnancy, I wanted to ensure that baby and I were receiving the nutrients necessary for growth and development. When I began taking Active Iron Pregnancy Plus, I really noticed the difference in my energy levels. It contains iron, sustainably sourced omega 3 DHA and a multivitamin containing Active Folic. I have struggled in the past with the side effects of other iron tablets, but these were really kind on my stomach!"

There is an increased need for iron when pregnant.

There is an increased need for iron when pregnant. During this time, the amount of blood in your body increases by 30-50%. This increases the requirement for iron and vitamins in your body as they are needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen to other cells in your body.

Iron is essential to life, especially during pregnancy. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and also plays an important role in normal energy metabolism, cognitive function and immune function.

Research shows that many women do not have sufficient iron in their diet to meet their daily needs and this is also true during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters.

The 28th May marks Menstrual Hygiene Day to break

The 28th May marks Menstrual Hygiene Day to break the silence, raise awareness and change negative social norms surrounding menstrual hygiene around the world.

@menstrualhygieneday want to create 'a world in which every woman and girl is empowered to manage her menstruation safely, hygienically, with confidence and without shame'.

Amongst women who experience heavier periods adequate daily iron intake is particularly important and may be difficult to achieve with diet alone, meaning supplementation may be required.

To celebrate Menstrual Hygiene Day and to support the needs of those with heavy periods we are giving 25% all Active Iron products. To redeem this offer visit activeiron.com and enter the code 'MHD25' at checkout (single packs only). Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day!

Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day! Did you know that

Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day! Did you know that most women will lose less than 16 teaspoons of blood (80ml) during their period, with the average being around 6 to 8 teaspoons?

Heavy menstrual bleeding is defined as losing 80ml or more in each period, having periods that last longer than 7 days, or both - but this is hard to measure.

According to the NHS, a good indication that your periods are heavy is if you:

🔴 are having to change your sanitary products every hour or 2
🔴 are passing blood clots larger than 2.5cm
🔴 are bleeding through to your clothes or bedding
🔴 need to use 2 types of sanitary product together (for example, tampons and pads)

The NHS have created a free assessment tool that can help determine if you have a heavy period - LINK IN BIO.

If you are concerned about your period, it is recommended that you talk to your GP. All women who have heavy periods should be offered a blood test to check iron levels.

The average woman goes through menopause at 51 yea

The average woman goes through menopause at 51 years old. The time period before menopause is called perimenopause.

Perimenopause symptoms occur for 4 years, on average. However, perimenopause can last anywhere from a few months to 10 years.

When your estrogen levels are high in comparison to your progesterone levels, your uterine lining builds. This results in heavier bleeding during your period as your lining sheds.

Periods are considered heavy if they:
🔺 soak through one tampon or pad an hour for several hours
🔺 require double protection — such as a tampon and pad — to control menstrual flow
🔺 cause you to interrupt your sleep to change your pad or tampon
🔺 last longer than 7 days

When bleeding is heavy, it may last longer, disrupting everyday life. It uncomfortable to exercise or carry on with your normal tasks.

Heavy bleeding can also cause fatigue and affect your iron levels. Amongst women who experience heavier periods adequate daily iron intake is particularly important and may be difficult to achieve with diet alone, meaning supplementation may be required.
