When kids skip school due to illness, they miss more than just a class – they miss opportunities for growth.
More and more Filipino children are contracting viral and bacterial disease because of weak immune systems, a recent clinical study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism reveals. This growing prevalence of infection in school-age populations is particularly urgent because a single sick day may affect many different facets of your child’s life, including time-sensitive activities like going to school to attend classes.
Thankfully, parents have an easy, enjoyable way to help protect kids from infection and keep them in school – pineapples.
