Activities like listening to music, reading to your child, letting them explore their surroundings all encourage brain development. But, it’s not the only way you can help your child’s brain blossom.

What are the Benefits of Moringa For KIDS?

February 8, 2021October 1, 2021 | Vandita

The task of preparing and feeding at least three healthy meals a day is not only repetitive but also the most important one. This is where this miracle food helps. It is the most difficult task for a parent to feed their child healthy food. This is all the more true during the early foundation years of the child when the bones and brain are developing. Preparing nutrient dense food covering most important vitamins and minerals for the body is an inevitable requirement. With limited food choices that the child prefers, it does certainly become a daunting task to achieve complete nutrition. This is where this miracle food helps. Let’s learn what are the benefits of Moringa for kids.

What are the benefits of moringa for kids?

A parent makes endless efforts to balance all the nutrition required for the complete growth of a child. If only there was a miracle food which could single handedly deliver most of the nutrition for the day, this task of feeding healthy food would have become way less challenging.

Does nature have such a nutrient-dense food ? Moringa is one of the best food for children’s growth. All the parts of Moringa tree- leaves, fruit (drumstick), flower and root have a health purpose. Every part of moringa tree has its own benefits. Below here are mentioned the benefits of moringa for kids.

leaves:

The leaves can be cooked and consumed directly. They can also be stored for longer periods after drying. For kids it is easy to serve powdered moringa by mixing it in dough or adding to any gravy or soup or shake.

Just 1 tbsp of Moringa leaf powder is equivalent to 60g of fresh leaves. This portion of Moringa contains 100% nutrition of Vitamin E, K which is great for making bones stronger and better skin and hair. It also meets 50% of Iron requirement (Iron in Moringa is 25 times higher than Spinach) which is essential for higher energy in the body. In addition, 25% of Vitamin A nutrition for healthy eyesight is also provided. It has 4 times more Vitamin A than carrots. (Which foods are good for eye health?)

Drumstick:

The fruit of the Moringa tree is called the Drumstick. It can be added to any gravy or soup or lentil for consumption. Although Drumstick can be tough for the younger kids to consume directly.
Study indicates that moringa has shown to protect against the impact of arsenic in the body.
The high content of potassium (15 times more than banana) in Moringa also helps fight the adverse health effects of current lifestyle (food choices) that kids prefer. (How to feed nutrition to your child in an easy way?)

flower:

The flower of the Moringa tree can be cooked and added to gravy. It gives a taste like mushroom. They can also be brewed and enjoyed like hot tea (or cool drink with added flavours of lemon or honey). Hot tea is a great way to feed kids added Vitamin C for Immunity during the period of congestion, cold or cough. Moringa leaves have 7 times more Vitamin C than oranges making it a superfood for Immunity. (How to boost your child’s immunity?)
In addition to other bones friendly nutrients, Moringa also has 3 times more Calcium than milk making it an excellent food to treat weak or damaged bones.

An excellent source of Vitamin B1 and Vitamin E, Moringa works wonder on Brain of the child. The high content of Iron in Moringa, enables mental alertness.

Lastly, Moringa can also improve digestion in kids. The high fibre content of the miracle food helps in fixing any gut disorder which is quite commonly diagnosed found in kids nowadays due to choice of refined food.

In nutshell, Moringa food contains more nutrients than any other single food source. It supports an overall child growth by providing nutrition for brain, bones, eyesight, immunity, skin & hair, digestion.

3 Supplements for Brain Development of Child

February 4, 2021January 30, 2023 | Vandita

With the increasing pressure of school based education, Olympiads, external competitions like spell bee and extracurricular activities, it becomes important as a parent to set your child on the right path from the very beginning. The brain development of child starts from the very first week of pregnancy and continues throughout the childhood and adult years. As such, taking care of proper brain development by eating brain development food for child , following proper sleep schedule and daily exercise can help. (How to improve concentration in kids?)

What causes Cognitive decline or aging of brain?

Imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals is the basis for free radical damage resulting in aging and cognitive decline. This cycle is natural. However, to protect the body from any damage and early decay, we must maintain a balance of free-radials and anti-oxidants. Therefore, we must eat real foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables in as much variety as possible to be able to absorb complete nutrition to keep this balance. Also we must maintain a healthy number of good bacteria in our gut. This combined with anti-oxidants will protect the body from diseases and illness. (How to keep the gut healthy?)

BRAIN DEVELOPMENT FOOD FOR CHILD:

There is no magic pill to prevent cognitive decline. However, consuming a lot of nuts, fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains can protect the brain from early aging and (now common) dysfunctions. Nutrients like omega3 food, B vitamins and antioxidants support brain health. That is why brain development food for child must contain these nutrients and incorporating food rich in these on a regular basis can improve the health of the brain, memory, cognition and attention. In addition to this, Ayurvedic herbs can help with the brain development of child if given from the early years.

Ayurvedic brain supplements are increasingly researched due to their biosafety profile and usefulness in cognitive impairment. They do not yield results over-night. Herbal supplements for brain help only when they are taken for a prolonged period of time. Long-term consumption of purely crafted supplements do not make your body dependent on the herbal drug or supplement. (Do healthy kids need vitamin supplements?)

BRAHMI

Bramhi attacks the free radical scavengers and protects cells in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and DNA damage. It reduces stress-induced hippocampal damage and hence is a great supplement for brain. Herbal supplements do not have harmful impact on the body.

Brahmi is a superfood for brain and is believed to sharpen the brain by protecting cells and increasing chemicals associated with learning and memory. It has shown to improve spatial learning and retaining power in kids. In older times, kids were often given Brahmi powder with ghee/honey. This would increase their focus and attention, while keeping them calm and destressed. (Foods that help kids keep better?)

Here are some scientific research papers which speak about the positive impact of Brahmi on overall health (read research). Here is a NIH study that elaborates on cognitive function benefit of Brahmi.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen. Adaptogens are herbal supplements that work to counteract the effects of stress in the body. Stress causes very real physical changes in the body, including harming the neurological, endocrine, and immune systems. Adaptogens have stimulant properties that help counteract those harmful effects.

The root of Ashwagandha smells like horse (“ashwa”), that is why it is called Ashwagandha (on consuming it gives the power of a horse).

Ashwagandha is commonly available as a churna, a powder that can be mixed with water, ghee (clarified butter) or honey. It enhances the function of the brain and nervous system and improves the memory. It improves the function of the reproductive system promoting a healthy reproductive balance. Being a powerful adaptogen, it enhances the body’s resilience to stress, fatigue, pain and anxiety. And improves the body’s defense against disease by improving the body cells immunity and it also possesses potent antioxidant properties that help protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals.

Best way to give Ashwagandha to children is mixing it with milk. Make a paste by mixing it with water and apply to reduce inflammation in the body and treat wounds, ulcers and painful swellings.

Here are some scientific research papers which speak about the positive impact of Ashwagandha on Immunity (read research) and Brain development (read research). More details of this herb around its health benefits, side effects, safety, how to consume it, etc. can be found here.

Curcumin

A compound found in turmeric, offers therapeutic relief. It is a rich antioxidant which supports against brain cell damage. It has found to delay or reverse brain diseases or age related decreases in brain function. This is a great brain development food for child.

Curcumin has a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which is found in the brain and spinal cord that plays a key role in keeping nerve cells healthy, as well as regulating communication between nerve cells, which is critical for learning and memory for kids. (What is the turmeric home-remedy for cold and flu?)

Consuming turmeric on a daily basis with black pepper helps to keep the nerve cells healthy. It works best when consumed with black pepper, ginger and some honey for taste.

There are several scientific studies on the impact of Curcumin on cognition and memory. Here is a NIH study that elaborates the benefits of Curcumin on cognition. Here is the study which supports Curcumin for memory.

How to get the maximum nutrition of GHEE?

February 3, 2021January 18, 2023 | Vandita

Ghee has always received special attention. From being considered a medicine to now being under the lenses (for being a saturated fat). The previous generations still consider Ghee to hold healing and digestion/ gut fixing ability. The traditional Bilona Method of making ghee could tap more nutrition of ghee as compared to the modern method.

Over the course of decades, the process of making Ghee has evolved. The modern method requires cream from milk to be heated until all the milk solid has settled and fat has been separated.

USE BILONA METHOD TO GET MORE NUTRITION OF GHEE:

nutrition of ghee
bilona method
ghee benefits

Traditionally, ghee was made with yogurt. Yogurt was set in clay pots to preserve and enhance the nutrients (calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, sulphur etc). It is then hand-churned to extract butter from it, leaving the whey (lactose) behind. This butter is simmered over a gentle heat to release the fat which is Ghee. This Bilona method of making ghee requires more quantity of cow’s milk compared to that of modern methods.

As you age, your body naturally starts to product less lactase (enzyme required to tolerate lactose from dairy). As a result of this, bloating, indigestion etc can happen with the consumption of dairy products, even if you were always a dairy lover. Traditional Ghee is lactose free and also a carrier of gut friendly bacterias (probiotic) because of being fermented (made of yogurt). These bacteria produce an advanced nutrient called K2 which aids in stronger bones.

In addition, this Ghee is also high in Vitamin A (good for Eyes and Immunity) and Omega 3 and 6 (good for Brain). It also portrays an excellent ratio of Omega3: Omega6 (1:4) making it a safer/ nutritious choice. No other commonly used oils have this ratio resulting in health damages.

A ghee made from desi cow’s milk yogurt using Bilona method of making ghee is ideal for consumption and adds more nutrition of ghee.
