Parents,
The one thing you need to do in order to improve the immunity, development and mental/overall health of your child through their life is to focus on your child’s sleep.
There is strong evidence to suggest that children who get less sleep (either in quantity or quality) are at a greater risk of having poor heart health, glucose intolerance and obesity in adolescent and adult life. This means they are predisposed to getting PCOS, Obesity, Type-2 diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases and depression later in thier life just because of less sleep in their childhood. Sleep is critical for adults too.
With the current generation’s high study load, never-ending classes for extra curriculars, screen time and low physical activity, sleep can easily be impacted . Many health experts are worried about this global trend as it can have long-term consequences. Sleep is more important than homework, sleepovers, TV, movies, Ipads and video games. Sleep habits can be improved by following certains rituals and routine.
