Playing in mud improve children’s immune system!

Once upon a time, ‘not getting dirty’ was a common household phrase, especially when parents watched their children soiling their best clothes with dismay. Whether they were running across fields, climbing trees, or catching frogs, the children’s white clothes had to turn brown (in mud or mud water)before the end of the day. Today, many …

C-section surgeries are frequently performed to safeguard the health of the mother or baby. Recently, a practice known as "vaginal seeding" has become popular, which involves applying the natural fluid produced by the mother to the newborn baby's body, after it was born through C-section. Also, in another study, the bacteria found in the mother's stomach were injected into the baby's body. The main purpose of all these experiments was to give the baby the microbes it could not get because of the C-section. However, Professor Bogart says that 'in theory, giving microbes to C-section babies like this might be the best solution, but in practice it's a very complicated process because it can be dangerous for the baby.' That's why Prof Bogart says it would be 'much safer' to give babies born by C-section a supplement of beneficial bacteria (such as a probiotic). Another solution is to give extra doses of vaccines to C-section babies. On the other hand, according to Professor Neil Mabbott, an immunologist at the University of Adambara, it cannot be said with certainty that a child's high antibody production is directly related to microbes. However, he said, 'recent research does raise the possibility that we can improve the immune system of newborns, especially those born by operation, to improve the effectiveness of vaccines and protect these babies from other infections. Can feed useful bacteria to protect against. Commenting on the research, bioscientist Dr George Sawa said: 'This article is important in that it will help us better understand the factors that influence vaccines and the microbiome in infants. The researchers noted that the study was conducted on a relatively small scale, and further research is required before any definitive conclusions can be reached.

Why do babies born through normal delivery have higher immunity?

Our immune system’s response to a vaccine also depends on how we were born, whether by normal delivery or by operation (C-section), according to new research from Scotland and the Netherlands. The study found that normal delivery or natural births produced twice as many antibodies after vaccination compared to babies born by operation (C-section). Experts …
