Prevention is the best approach to managing lead poisoning. Some preventive measures include: - Regularly cleaning floors, window sills, and other surfaces to reduce dust - Using cold water for drinking and cooking, as hot water is more likely to contain higher levels of lead - Teaching children to wash their hands regularly, especially before eating - Ensuring a balanced diet rich in calcium, iron, and vitamin C, which can help reduce lead absorption - Testing your home for lead if it was built before 1978
