Your Child’s Growing Immune System
Children differ from adults in a lot of ways. One big way is, unlike adults, the bodies of children and adolescents are still developing on all levels. It is easy to see this growth on the outside, but sometimes we forget that their internal organs and systems are developing too!
The still-forming immune system of a child also differs greatly from that of an adult. In a healthy adult, the immune system is made up of hundreds of basic as well as specific mechanisms and substances that work together synergistically to fight pathogens. The immune system of a young child, however, can be quite different.
According to physicians at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, when a healthy baby is born, he or she has all the basic “tools” to create an immune response to a threat. These basic tools come in the form of substances that make up the “non-specific” or “innate” immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils. What an infant lacks, however, are direct interactions with pathogens that will help them develop “adaptive immunity.” (1)
A large component of a robust immune response is the ability to adapt to any threat. “Adaptive immunity” mainly develops in children. A growing child comes in contact with all kinds of new experiences as he or she navigates the world, and so does his or her immune system.
With each “antigenic experience,” a child develops antibodies and other immune substances to help fight infections, viruses, and other threats in the moment and into the future.
This system of learning and assimilation works amazingly as long as the stressors that a child encounters are not too great and as long as that child’s immune system is able to assimilate new information (such as a new viral threat) and then generate new immune system substances and mechanisms (such as specific B and T cells) in response.
As a parent, you have the ability to help your child’s “innate” and “adaptive” immune system mechanisms be the strongest they can be. You can do this by providing the right nutrition, the right opportunities for both mental and physical exercise, and the right love, care, and nurturing for your child’s vibrant growth.
In addition, you can also make wise choices based on sound research regarding supplementation and other tools to protect your child and his or her still-developing immune system in the face of a highly toxic and stressful world. A key component in your child’s immune system arsenal can be beta glucan!
