The doctor gave advice on protecting children from viruses and infections in the summer

Pavel Berezhansky, a pediatrician, pulmonologist, allergist and immunologist, professor at Sechenov University, said that a favorable psychological atmosphere in the family helps to maintain healthy immunity in children.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Monday, June 30, the doctor said that stress negatively affects the immune system, and also stressed the importance of giving up bad habits in both children and adults. According to him, even passive inhalation of smoke from cigarettes, vapes or electronic cigarettes can cause serious harm.

In addition, the doctor urged to pay attention to vaccination and a balanced diet. He explained that a child's diet should contain all the necessary trace elements, and if any product is not consumed, it is important to find healthy alternatives. According to him, both the lifestyle and the level of activity of children depend on nutrition.
