Children are continuously exposed to germs and microbes, but exposure does not always mean a child will get sick. A healthy immune system supports a child\u2019s natural defenses against disease.

Nutritional deficiencies may be responsible for chronic immune problems as it is easier for bacteria or viruses to take hold when important nutrients are missing. Critical nutrients that stimulate a strong immune system include vitamins A, C, E, iron and prebiotics.<\/p><h3>Sleep<\/h3><p>Sleep deprivation can lower your child\u2019s immune system; this will make him more susceptible to being affected by viruses and bacteria. Your child\u2019s schedule can be busy; most kids juggle sports and after school activities on top of school work. It is important that kids enjoy and learn through these activities, however these need to be balanced with sufficient amounts of sleep, which is critical to staying strong and healthy.<\/p><h3>Exercise<\/h3><p>Exercise can increase a child\u2019s number of white blood cells and boost white blood cells\u2019 ability to fight off
