The human body needs to get enough carbohydrates and proteins every day, as well as some fats, vitamins, minerals and plenty of water. The effectiveness of sports activities is associated with a significant activation of protein synthesis in working muscles. The formation of the necessary protein structures that ensure the specific work of the muscles is associated with an increase in gene activity and requires a complete protein diet. In people experiencing great physical exertion, nonessential and essential amino acids in the diet should be contained in certain proportions. Unfortunately, our usual diet does not provide the body with a sufficient amount of easily digestible proteins, especially amino acids, in the required ratio. Therefore, with increased muscular activity, there is a need for additional protein nutrition or the use of special products of increased biological value (with the optimal content of essential amino acids, vitamins, mineral salts, etc.).

The main function of proteins is to form and repair the tissues and cells of the body. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy needed by the body during heavy physical exertion. Fats are the second most important source of energy. During physical activity, more proteins, carbohydrates and fats are required than in their absence.

Before proceeding with them, it is necessary to consult a doctor, then pre-prepare the child's skin for this procedure. To do this, dry flannel or a piece of soft woolen cloth daily in the morning rub the body, arms and legs of the child to a pink color. After one and a half to two weeks, you can proceed to wiping with water. With a mitten made of woolly cloth soaked in water and wrung out, they first wipe the arms, then the chest and stomach, back, buttocks, and legs of the child. Immediately wipe the wetted part of the body with a fluffy towel until the skin turns slightly red. The whole body, except for the wiped part, should be under the covers. Wiping can be done by adding 1 teaspoon of salt or a tablespoon of sea salt to 1 glass of water. Wiping is usually done after the child's morning sleep. Their duration is 5-6 minutes. The water temperature should be at first 32-33', then gradually, with an interval of 5-7 days, the water temperature is reduced by 1' and brought to 30'. A hygienic bath should not be made hot. The water temperature for children under 6 months of age should be 36.5-37.5 ', and for older children - 36 '. After such a bath, it is useful to pour water over the child, the temperature of which is 1-2' lower than the temperature of the bath water. Over time, the temperature of the water for pouring is reduced by another 2-3 '. Starting from 10-11 months of age, in the morning and in the evening, the face, neck and arms (up to the elbow) of the child should be washed with cool water (the temperature of which is not lower than 18-20 '). Walking is very useful for children. It should be accustomed to cold air gradually, starting with “walks” in a room with an open window, sleeping in the fresh air is useful.

Hardening and massage. Hardening should be tried to be carried out in such a way that it causes a good, joyful mood in the child. The procedure is performed incorrectly if the baby is restless during it.

Hardening and exercise strengthen the nervous system, promote the development of muscles and bones, improve the functioning of the heart, lungs, digestive and excretory organs, blood composition and metabolism, increase immunity to the action of pathogenic factors. When carrying out hardening procedures, one should be guided by the following principles: early start, gradualness and systematicity. It is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the child. Means of hardening are simple and affordable. It is only important to discard many ingrained prejudices and not to wrap up children, not to be afraid of fresh air; systematically, 4-5 times a day, ventilate the room, and keep the windows open in the summer - after all, window panes do not let in the ultraviolet rays necessary for a growing organism. It is strictly forbidden to smoke in the room where the child is located. Changing diapers, changing clothes, un******ng a newborn before bathing - the first air baths, the first tempering procedures. For an infant, the air temperature both in the room and outside during an air bath should be at least 22 '. After appropriate training, the temperature in the air bath can be 20 and 18 '. Air baths must be carried out carefully: their duration at first should not exceed 2-3 minutes. Gradually, the time is increased and for children up to 6 months of age it is adjusted to 15 minutes, and for children of 6-12 months - up to 20-25 minutes. The procedure can be repeated 2 times a day. Weakened children or those who are not accustomed to cool air should expose their bodies gradually: first, arms and legs, then to the waist, and, finally, leave the baby completely undressed. In summer, air baths are best done outdoors under a canopy or in the shade of trees, where diffused sunlight is rich in ultraviolet rays. Water quenching is very useful. They do this with the help of hygienic baths, washing, washing the feet, as well as rubbing and dousing. Water quenching is started gradually and carefully. From 3-4 months of age, wet wipes can be applied.
