Lyssa talks with Vitamin Shoppe to find great and easy ways to help children stay healthy, and ways to help when they feel sick

Weather ... for the weekend with some c1 3 speaker 1: a school year that began with online learning will soon have kids going back to socially distanced classes.

Now, the question for all of us moms is what can be done to keep our kids healthy, especially with concerns about upcoming cold and flu season.

Well, joining us today is emily l.

Foley.

She is a celebrity journalist and freelance writer, and she joins us with tips on boosting your child's immune system for cold and flu season.

Welcome to the show, emily.

Emily foley: hi, thank you for having me today.

Speaker 1: well, thank you for being here and let's get right to it.

What can parents do to protect their kids right now, especially with them going back to school.

Emily foley: yeah, we're moving into cold and flu season.

Children's health is so important right now, going back to school during a pandemic and i am all about supplements.

I love how much they do for both me and my kids.

And as a busy working mom, we live by a schedule.

So i actually schedule our supplements into our daily routine.

We have certain things we take in the mornings, certain things in the afternoon, certain things before bed.

Speaker 1: okay.

So do you have any suggestions for natural ways to boost the immune system, first of all.

Emily foley: i love elderberry syrup.

I am always singing the h a dramatic difference in my ke other day i was at the vitaminen's immune support i was so excited cause they're afied ande with elderberrarvested from famy farms. spe?

Emily foley: yeah, i mean, absoluhey don't like the flavor of, wthe new chapter elderberry gummies.

They arcane sugar.

And then my daughter is an tened with real honey, so it's bee fcertified plus it's full of antioxitions r kids do happen alls and honey has been my go-to fo health organization and the ame academy of pediatrics have verified it as an effective method for taking care of your kids coughs.

And i was so excited to discover the convita kids daytime and nighttime soothing syrups and soothing pops, because they're a really tasty way to soothe your child's cough naturally with that umf 10 plus manuka honey.

And we know that certified umf manuka honey actually has mgo, it's an antibacterial compound that's known to not only help take care of the cold and the sore throat, but it's also supporting their immune and gut health as well.

So doing so many good things at once.

Speaker 1: i love it.

That sounds great.

Now what can parents do to get their kids into a healthy supplement routine?

It's one of the hardest things as a parent to get your kid to do.

Emily foley: it is, it absolutely is, but i really suggest making it a part of your daily routine.

Everybody learns together, these are the things that we're doing.

Plus as long as you make it taste good, they are going to go for it.

I love the convita daytime syrup, it's orange flavored.

So my son absolutely loves that.

The nighttime is grape flavored.

And i have to talk about how fabulous the soothing pops are because the kids love picking them.

My kids are like, "oh, do i want orange?

Or do i want grape?"

And they feel like they're getting a treat while we're also treating the symptoms, which is so fantastic.

The syrups are made with that manuka honey.

The daytime has the ivy leaf extract in it, which is going to clear mucus.

The nighttime is also so fantastic for helping with that.

And here's the thing, i want to feel good about what my kids are taking.

And convita is award winning.

They won the 2019 parents pick award.

They also won the life immunity award.

So i can feel good about what i'm giving my kids.

Speaker 1: emily, do they make these in adult doses?

I want to take it.

Emily foley: exactly, right?

I know.

You're like, "okay, can i just take two instead of one?"

I know completely.

Convita has wonderful products as well for adults.

And i think it's so great to just be able to relax for once as a parent and know i can give something to my kids that are so good, they're going to take it easily.

It's so good for their system.

Speaker 1: wonderful.

And where can we go for more information?

Emily foley: well, both new chapter and convita products are available both in the vitamin shop stores as well as online at vitaminshoppe.com.
