Winter weather is cold, the temperature difference between day and night is large, is your baby often attacked by the virus, repeated upper respiratory tract infections? Why do bacterial viruses "spoil" your baby? It may be because your baby is deficient in this vitamin, vitamin A.

The amazing superpower of vitamin A

Epithelial tissue includes the outer surface of the human body - the skin, but also includes the inner surface of various lumens, sacs and tubes of the body, such as the nasal cavity, respiratory system, digestive tract system, urinary system and so on.

There is a protective film on the surface of the epithelial tissue, when the vitamin A in the body is sufficient, this protective film is long and dense, and the bacteria and viruses outside the body cannot enter the body, but when the body lacks vitamin A, this protective film becomes short and sparse, and the bacterial viruses in the outside world are easy to take advantage of the void and can enter the body effortlessly. When the bacterial virus invades the respiratory system, it is a upper respiratory tract infection that annoys parents.

Build the body's first line of defense

The body's immune function has three major lines of defense, the first line of defense is the epithelial tissue, when the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes is destroyed, the bacterial virus takes advantage of the void, and the body's immune function will also have a certain impact. I hope that the child will be less sick, and the first line of defense must be well defended. The material that usually adds gava to the defense line is the food rich in vitamin A.

Other ingredient pairing suggestions:

If parents are worried about the safety of the liver, or the baby does not like the taste of the liver, the same can also be paired with plant foods to meet the daily vitamin A needs, such as 1 egg + 50g pumpkin per day, 50g broccoli + 25g cabbage, 50g carrots, so that the combination can meet the intake of baby vegetables, but also to meet the daily intake of vitamin A for 0.5-3-year-old babies.
