Vomiting in Kids: 10 Foods and Home remedies of Vomiting that help

vominting in kids
| Shilpi

It is absolutely normal for babies and children to vomit occasionally. Generally, it will last for no longer than one to two days and is not considered a sign of anything serious.

Vomiting is most often a symptom of an underlying condition.When the body consumes anything that is unwanted or infected, the body’s defense mechanism causes it to throw out the undigested substances in the form of puking or vomiting. Though the stomach is being cleaned the natural way, frequent bouts of vomiting should get you worried. During a vomiting bout, your kid will expel the contents of the stomach through the mouth. In this article, you will know about some foods and home remedies of vomiting that can help.

Types of Vomiting in Children:

1) Posseting:

This type of vomiting is very common among babies who are being breastfed. Posseting means throwing up small amounts of milk by babies following each feed.

2) Projectile Vomiting:

If your child throws up the contents of his/her stomach forcefully out, it is known as projectile vomiting. The volume may seem quite large, but the vomit generally consists only of the last feed your child has had. This type of vomit may happen intermittently but can be a matter of concern if it happens after every feed. 

3) Reflux:

Most babies face this type of vomiting. When the valve at the top of the baby’s stomach opens up unintentionally, it causes the stomach contents to travel in a reverse manner up the oesophagus/food pipe. This is called Reflux. Usually reflux in babies is harmless and will stop by the time they begin sitting upright or walking.

Causes of Vomiting in Children:

The following are some of the common reasons that could cause vomiting in children:

1. Food Allergies

If your child is allergic to certain foods like milk, wheat, eggs or fish, this could cause a reaction when he/she eats it. Food allergies often cause severe abdominal pain and this could be followed by nausea and vomiting. (What are some common food allergies in kids?)

2. Gastroenteritis

The most common cause of vomiting in children is gastroenteritis. It is a gut infection usually caused by  bacteria,virus and parasites and can lead to diarrhoea.

3. Digestive Issues

If your child’s appendix is infected or there is a blockage in the digestive system, he/she can suffer from vomiting. Sometimes, overeating may also cause vomiting. Overeating means consuming food which is beyond the ability of the stomach to digest easily. (What are some foods that help in proper digestion?)

4. Food Poisoning

Food poisoning is often the result of the harmful bacteria present in stale or under-cooked food. It can cause severe nausea and vomiting, which can even lead to dehydration. Common signs of food poisoning include nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea.

5. Stress and Emotional Disturbance

Sometimes stress or emotional disturbance may also cause nausea and vomiting in children. If you have recently moved to a new city or if your child is now attending a different school, these changes can cause excessive stress. Your kid might also feel stressed before or during exams or while competing in debates/competitions.When a child undergoes an emotional trauma (death in the family or divorce or separation of parents), it might also lead to excessive vomiting.

6. Flu and Other Illnesses

Seasonal allergies, acid reflux, swine flu and ear infections are some diseases that can induce vomiting in young children. Appendicitis causes severe abdominal pain which could lead to vomiting in young kids. Labyrinthitis (ear infection) leads to extreme dizziness and this spinning sensation is also a common cause for vomiting in kids.

Home Remedies of Vomiting:

Here are some foods and home remedies of vomiting that can help to get rid of vomiting and give immediate relief.

1. Ginger: 

In order to stop vomiting in children, ginger is a proven remedy, since it contains natural antiemetic properties. Ginger has qualities that can ease the irritation of the stomach and bring instant relief. Crush a piece of ginger and put it in water. Add one teaspoon of honey and sip it the entire day. Kids love fresh ginger tea with honey, so you can try that as well.

2. Cloves and cardamom: 

Keep a few pieces of cloves or cardamom in your mouth and suck them for long. The aroma and taste of cloves and cardamom can help to stop vomiting. It also reduces the sensitivity of the mouth. Drinking clove tea also helps to avoid vomiting. 

3. Salt and Sugar Solution

This age-old remedy is quick to make and can be made from these everyday ingredients. Continuous vomiting can aggravate the stomach lining, lead to severe dehydration and expel essential nutrients like sodium and potassium from the child’s body. This solution will not allow the body to get dehydrated and would prevent weakness of the body. It acts as a natural electrol.

4. Papaya

Papaya is packed with antibacterial compounds which help digestion and reduce acids in the body. It contains all the necessary natural enzymes that facilitate the smooth and quick digestion of food. And is also helpful in removing harmful germs that cause stomach upsets.

5. Onion Juice

Mix one teaspoon of onion juice with a similar quantity of ginger juice and feed it to your child. It is one of the extremely useful home remedies of vomiting and nausea since it contains natural antibiotic properties. 

6. Cumin

Cumin seeds enhance the pancreatic enzyme secretion and hence is known as one of the best home remedies of vomiting. It helps in improving digestion and reducing any stomach discomfort. Boil a cup of water and add freshly ground cumin seeds to it. Adding a bit of nutmeg to this mixture can further enhance its effectiveness. You can also try ½ teaspoon of cumin powder and cardamom along with one teaspoon of honey. Make sure that your child consumes this mixture slowly to keep vomiting at bay.

7. Apple Cider Vinegar

Take one tablespoon of honey and apple cider vinegar and mix both in a glass of water. Give this mixture to your child at regular intervals. The antimicrobial properties of vinegar are helpful in curing food poisoning. Mix vinegar with water and rinse the mouth with it. This will eliminate the acidic smell of vomit and reduce the vomiting sensation that rises due to it. (Benefits of apple cider vinegar?)

8. Mint

Mint is a wonderful antidote for vomiting that works wonders. Boil water and add one tablespoon of dried mint leaves. Keep the mint leaves in the water for 10 minutes and then strain it. Give this solution thrice a day to get relief from vomiting. Chewing on fresh mint leaves is also a proven method of reducing the feeling of nausea. A mix of lemon juice, mint juice and honey (one teaspoon each) can be equally effective in vomiting

9. Rice Water

Rice water is basically the starch from white rice. When gastritis is the reason for a bout of vomiting, rice water can be really effective. Make sure you make use of white rice and not brown, since the starch from white rice is easily digestible for young children. Take one cup of white rice, two cups of water and boil it. Strain this mixture and separate the rice water in a cup. This rice water helps to reduce and stop vomiting.

10. Saunf or fennel seeds:

Chewing saunf at regular intervals is extremely effective in stopping nausea and vomiting. It acts as a mouth freshner and makes the person feel much better. You can also have fennel tea to avoid vomiting. Take one teaspoon of fennel seeds and add one cup of boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes and strain before drinking.

When to see the Doctor?

It is important to seek medical help immediately when you notice the following symptoms in your child:

  • Bile or blood in the vomit
  • Uncontrolled retching and gagging
  • Stomach ache
  • Continuous vomiting
  • Body temperature above 104°C
  • Blood in stool
  • Projectile vomiting
  • Lethargy or slow to respond

If your child is suffering from vomiting, he/she must take sufficient rest. He/she must lie down on their back and not on the stomach. Long hours of rest are very helpful in improving the condition. Vomiting can cause a lot of weakness and if precautions are not taken, it can be fatal. Therefore, it is suggested that vomiting must never be suppressed voluntarily as the body is making an effort to get rid of substances in the body that could be dangerous to health.

Is Vegan Diet safe for kids?

Some experts even believe that following a vegan diet for an extended period of time is helpful to many children. When a child’s diet consists mostly of vegetables, fruits, and grains, vitamin and mineral consumption is hardly impacted. When compared to other children, vegan kids have a considerably greater nutritional percentage, as well as a higher proportion of fibre, all of which contributes to healthy development. Good eating habits established early in childhood begin to manifest later in life in the form of a good pattern of food consumption and fewer health difficulties.

8 HEALTH BENEFITS OF SPROUTING:

1. IMPROVES NUTRIENT CONTENTS:

Almost all the whole grains, nuts and legumes are high in fiber, B vitamins, iron, zinc and magnesium and protein. Studies show that sprouting may increase these nutrient contents even more.

2. HELPS IN DIGESTION: 

The concentration of fiber increases in sprouted grains. Fiber is one of the most important components for maintaining gut health. Fiber nourishes the good bacteria in the gut and promotes elimination and detoxification of the colon.

Also check, How to improve gut health?

3. BREAKs DOWN ANTINUTRIENTs:

Antinutrients are compounds that reduce the absorption of certain nutrients within your body. Enzymes created during sprouting also break down the phytic acid present in some seeds. Phytic acid is also called ‘anti-nutrient’ because it makes it difficult for humans to absorb certain vitamins and minerals from food sources. By sprouting, the phytic acid of the seed breaks down and it becomes easier for humans to absorb more vitamins and minerals from the sprouted seed.

4. AIDS IN WEIGHT LOSS:

Sprouts are one of the best foods if you are looking for some weight loss. They are high in nutrients with very low calories. Sprouts contain a high amount of fiber that keeps you full for a long period of time. It also reduces the release of ghrelin, a hunger hormone, that tells our brain to eat more.

What are the Foods for Healthy Skin? 

foods healthy skin Iyurved
| Vandita

“No beauty cream will make your skin beautiful if you don’t start eating healthy”. Our skin is the body’s largest organ, and it is subjected to a variety of chemical, physical, bacterial, and fungal strikes. We are all aware that probiotics and prebiotic can help with a variety of health issues, either directly or indirectly. Another surprising aspect is that these probiotics and prebiotic have a high potential for preventing and treating skin-related issues such as dryness or eczema, acne, ageing, skin hypersensitivity, UV damage, or allergic inflammation. Let us find out how probiotics and prebiotic acts as foods for healthy skin.

Every person’s skin requires a steady, balanced microbiota. There’s a significant probability your microbiome is out of balance if your skin isn’t looking or feeling as healthy and fresh as it used to. Everyone, especially those with a damaged skin barrier or sensitivity, can benefit from the beneficial assistance that prebiotics provide.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are live bacteria naturally occurring in food that are good for you, your digestion and your GUT. These are those good bacteria that help you fight off diseases causing bad bacteria and restore the balance of both. Food habits, stress, lifestyle and antibiotics, all of them impact the gut health of your body. 

Also check here: What are probiotic foods for gut health?

What are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are a type of dietary fiber that humans cannot digest but the gut bacteria can. Prebiotic is a source of food for your gut’s friendly bacteria. It is a food which does not get fully digested in the body and reaches the large intestine (commonly known as GUT). The good bacteria in the large intestine eat this food and flourishes.

Prebiotics should not be confused with probiotics. Each has their separate role in the battle for better gut health, where probiotics are the friendly bacteria, prebiotics in foods are food for these bacteria.

Also check here: Understand the role of prebiotics in foods for health

how pre-probiotic foods are for healthy skin:

Each part of your body has its own microbiome, which is made up largely of beneficial viruses, fungi, and bacteria. Bacteria can aid in the promotion of skin health by preventing infections from becoming more serious. When the environment becomes unbalanced, it can lead to a variety of skin problems. This is when microbiome skin care enters the picture. According to current studies, pre and probiotics can aid in the prevention and treatment of a variety of skin disorders.

1. Acne:

As we age, the pH of our skin rises, which disrupts the skin barrier, causing it to dry out and allowing more bad bacteria to grow. Apart from this, hyperkeratinization, excess sebum production and bacteria colonization are also responsible for acne formation. When it comes to acne, it is critical to soothe the inflammation, keep the skin hydrated, consume foods for healthy skin and improve the skin barrier. Prebiotics are an effective treatment for certain types of acne breakouts. Probiotics aid in the removal of acne-causing bacteria from the skin, while prebiotics aid in the completion of the task. Aside from that, research shows that certain probiotics help to increase the skin’s ceramide (lipid) production, which traps moisture and keeps the skin hydrated, as well as improve the skin’s barrier functions and bacteria levels.

2. Ageing and UV radiation:

Many intrinsic factors, such as genetics and hormones, as well as extrinsic factors, such as environmental, stress, diet, and lifestyle, contribute to skin ageing. The changes in skin ageing include an increase in skin pH and a decreased ability to quench reactive oxygen species. Healthy, normal skin has a slightly acidic pH in the range of 4.2-5.6, which helps to prevent pathogenic bacterial colonization, regulate enzyme activity, and maintain a moisture-rich environment. A few topical probiotics improve moisture absorption and help to delay the signs of ageing. Lactic acid, one of the probiotics, reduces wrinkles, tightens pores, and exfoliates the skin. This, in turn, aids in the improvement of dull skin and the nourishing of sun-damaged skin.

3. Strengthen the Skin Barrier: 

We’ve seen what these beneficial microorganisms can do for your skin. Apart from that, prebiotics play a significant role in protecting and strengthening our skin barrier. In your skin’s microbiome, you’ll find the good bacteria that play a key part in maintaining a healthy barrier function. Probiotics help to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the skin microbiome, which helps to strengthen and protect your skin barrier. A robust skin barrier protects against UV rays, pollution, and other factors. In addition, probiotics also minimize the risk of infection and increase the skin’s barrier capabilities against harmful germs, pollutants, and free radical damage.

4. Soothes Skin: 

Prebiotics have a number of beneficial features, including the ability to relieve skin irritation, rash, redness, and inflammation. These are mild and help to improve sensitive skin. Ceramide levels are lower in those with eczema, thus replenishing them is crucial. Pre and probiotics have been shown in studies to aid with eczema relief and skin suppleness.

5. Promote Healthy Scalp:

Yes! Yes, you read that correctly. These beneficial bacteria not only keep the skin healthy, but also the scalp. Probiotics aid in the relief of irritations and the restoration of hair health. One study found that consuming probiotics led to thicker, shinier, and glossy hair.

Overall, prebiotics and probiotics have a strong relationship with your skin and hair. Probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, maintain the skin and hair healthy, while prebiotics assist these bacteria in doing their duties without fail. Consumption of these foods (Probiotics and Prebiotic) on a regular basis helps in maintaining healthy skin.

How to Avoid Frequent Infection in Kids?

infection in kids Iyurved
| Vandita

Our body is constantly communicating with us in its own language. We need to observe and understand the sign language that our body speaks to us. Come let’s understand. The collection of bacteria that resides in the gut is called the gut microbiome and has positive effects on behaviour, appetite, immunity (avoiding frequent infection in kids), digestive health and metabolism. Although most people think of bacteria as a bad word, human cells and bacteria live in close proximity and have a mutually beneficial connection.

Probiotics are live bacteria naturally occurring in food that are good for you, your digestion and your GUT. These are those good bacteria that help you fight off diseases causing bad bacteria and restore the balance of both. Food habits, lifestyle and antibiotics, all of them impact the gut health of your body. Your body loses good bacteria when you fall sick and take antibiotics. At this time probiotics can help to maintain the amount of good bacteria in the gut again.

WHATSAPP for concerns like Speech Delay, Low Weight, Frequent Illness, Hyperactivity, Low Concentration, Weak Eyesight, Improper Sleep, Pigmentation, Pores, Face Marks, Fine Lines , Lactation etc.

Benefits of probiotics –
  • Balance the friendly good bacteria in the gut and improve digestion.
  • Helps in stomach discomforts such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn and stomach ache. It reduces the risk of severity of diarrhea from a number of different causes.
  • Research shows that taking probiotics on a regular basis improves the symptoms of mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, stress etc. (More foods to manage stress and body ache?)
  • Probiotics may reduce the symptoms of eczema, by restarting the disrupted immune system. (Foods and remedies to manage skin rashes?)
  • Probiotics build your immunity by boosting immune cells and reduces the risk of infection in kids. (More foods that build immunity?)

Now coming to prebiotics, these are a type of dietary fiber that humans cannot digest but the gut bacteria can. Prebiotic is a source of food for your gut’s friendly bacteria.It is a food which does not get fully digested in the body and reaches the large intestine (commonly known as GUT). The good bacteria in the large intestine eat this food and flourishes.

Prebiotics should not be confused with probiotics. Each have their separate role in the battle for better gut health, where probiotics are the friendly bacteria, prebiotics in foods are food for these bacteria. (What are some foods for healthy gut?)

Benefits of prebiotics:
  • Consumption of prebiotics increases the useful gut flora, which synthesize the B complex vitamins.
  • Positive effect on calcium and other mineral absorption, by increasing their solubility.
  • Prebiotic may help reduce inflammation, especially in your intestines, and thereby strengthen the immune system.
  • Prebiotics in foods reduces constipation by maintaining the regularity of bowel movement.
  • It also may help with allergy prevention and symptoms of eczema.
  • Helps in maintaining healthy hormone levels. Prebiotics help your body absorb essential nutrients that help in building hormones.
  • Prebiotic are fiber and eating lots of fibrous food keeps you full for a long time, thus prebiotics in foods are great for weight loss.
Signs of unhealthy gut:

There are many factors that affect kids gut health such as eating too much processed and high sugar food, stress, too little sleep and taking excessive antibiotics. All of these lead to damage to kids gut health which results in many health issues. Here are some common problems that may occur due to unhealthy gut:

  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Bloating
  • Craving for sugar
  • Skin irritation
  • Improper sleep or sleep disturbances
  • Frequent infection in kids
  • Undefined weight changes
How gut health helps in reducing frequent infection in kids?

The best gift you can ever give to your child is a healthy body and strong immunity to fight infections. Immunity plays a major role and it can be achieved by feeding some foods for immunity boost. For the world, 2020 was all about immunity. We had never dreamt about going through such trying medical and emotional conditions. It taught us that in some situations science and medicine fail to help us as spontaneously as our own immunity can. Now the question arises: How to increase immunity in children?

Your GI tract houses a large amount of your immune system. The gut contains approximately 70% of the immune system. According to the studies, it is critical for the body’s health to maintain a delicate balance in the immune system by eliminating invading pathogens while also maintaining self-tolerance to avoid autoimmunity.

What is the immune system?

Our immune system is critical in protecting our bodies from harmful invaders. Immune cells serve as your body’s first line of defense, identifying and neutralizing harmful substances that enter the body. When this system in the body is functioning properly, your kid’s bodies do not feel anything. However, if this system is not robust, your child is likely to become ill on a regular basis.

Gut health and immunity:

The immune system’s job is to keep the body healthy and protect it from viruses and bacteria. What about gut microbes (prebiotics and probiotics), and how do they play a role?

The immune system shapes the bacteria variety, and the gut has an impact on the immune system’s strength and growth. Other factors, such as nutrition, environment, and lifestyle behaviours, affect the composition of the gut flora throughout time. When everything is in order, the stomach sends out signals that encourage the development of good immunological function, which modulates immune responses. In exchange, the immune system aids in the proliferation of health-promoting bacteria in the microbiome. When you acquire an infection, it’s a symptom that your system is out of balance due to nasty germs. At this moment, good bacteria assists in the elimination of the bad bacteria and the restoration of the good bacteria equilibrium. Thus, overall gut health improves children’s ability to fight infections and reduces the frequency of infection in kids.

Make it EASY to feed a daily dose of vegetables, greens, dal, and prebiotics and probiotics. 1 serving of Veggies and  Dal powder equals 30-50g of fresh food. Helps to provide daily nutrition for Immunity, Brain, Digestion, Bones, Healthy Weight, Height, Eye health and Growth. Get yours now!

5 Home Remedies and Foods to Cure Bedwetting

treatment for bedwetting
| Rupali

You might have potty trained your baby, despite that bedwetting can occur in your child. Medically known as Nocturnal Enuresis, it can be easily defined as nighttime bedwetting beyond age 5. It is a condition wherein the child unknowingly passes urine during sleep. We have seen babies or infants urinating frequently. It happens because the link between the brain and bladder has not fully formed in babies and toddlers. As the bladder feels full it releases urine. As they step into toddler age they only urinate during walking hours and as they reach the age of 5 most of the kids stop bedwetting. The connection between the brain and bladder develops as a child grows. But after this age if your child still urinates while sleeping, it is a matter of concern. Bedwetting affects many school age children and even some teens. Though, it’s not a serious problem and after a certain age children usually outgrow it. But still bedwetting is upsetting for both children and parents. Some foods and Ayurvedic herbs can help in treatment of bedwetting in kids.

Types of nocturnal enuresis

Primary: Child always wet the bed as he/she has never had bladder control at night.

Secondary: A child had bladder control for some period of time (6 months) but due to some conditions later lost that control and now wets the bed.

Also check, 6 Month baby food chart

Causes responsible for bed wetting

Bedwetting occurs due to delay in developments. It can be in one of these areas:

Brain: Unable to figure out that bladder is full during sleep

Bladder: Less space in bladder during night time

Kidney: More urine made during night

Also check, How to introduce solid foods to baby?

Genetics

If any of the parents had this problem in childhood then 40% kids are likely to have this issue. If both parents went through it during childhood then, children would have about 70% chance of having the same problem.

Constipation

The bladder and bowels sit very near to each other in the body. While the child’s bowel is enlarged by an excess of stool, it puts pressure on the bladder. It shrinks the bladder capacity to hold urine and results in accidental bedwetting. It is important to look at the signs of constipation if your child is wetting the bed. (What foods can help to treat constipation?)

Bladder or kidney disease

It may be the case if a child has bladder control problems in both daytime and night time. It happens because of weakened bladder muscles. Bladder Or kidney diseases can be followed up by other urinary symptoms such as pain while peeing or the need to pee frequently.

Neurologic Disease

A spinal cord problem in childhood can develop with growth and can be a reason for bedwetting. Though it is a very rare cause of bedwetting.

Stress

It is one of the most common reasons for secondary enuresis. While moving to a new school or home, losing a parent or experiencing parental divorce or going through any major unpleasant event in life can be a cause of occurring bedwetting.

Deep sleep

Children who wet the bed are often deep sleepers. It is harder for kids with deep sleep to develop an effective signalling system that wakes them up when they need to urinate. While sleeping kids pelvic floor relaxes and bedwetting occurs.

Sleep apnea

While sleeping children with this condition experience partially blocked airways. It can briefly stop their breathing when they are sleeping which changes the chemical balance of the brain and may trigger bedwetting.

Intestinal worm

In many cases intestinal worms are responsible for bedwetting. Treatment for the same can cure bedwetting in kids. (How to deworm kids naturally?)

Other medical conditions

In some cases medical conditions such as diabetes can be a cause of bedwetting in kids. Studies suggested that children suffering from ADHD are more likely to occur bedwetting due to different brain chemistry. Some kids don’t produce enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which helps to slow night time urine production. Some medications can also increase the chances of bedwetting.

Foods that irritate the bladder

Some foods irritate the bladder. Recognising these foods and removing them from your kid’s diet can help to stop bedwetting. Carbonated drinks, coffee or tea, acidic fruit juices, tomato based products, chocolate, spicy foods cranberry, sugary foods and drinks are some of the foods that can trigger bedwetting.

Things that can help to stop bedwetting
Decrease the number of drinks before bed time

It is important to control the amount of drinks kids have before bedtime. Try to encourage your child to drink more fluids in the morning and afternoon, rather than at night. Make it a part of the bed time routine to urinate before going to bed.

Establish bathroom breaks in the middle of night

Kids are usually deep sleepers. Wake them up to empty their bladder as it may be hard for them to wake up on their own.

Motivate them by giving responsibility

To some extent it is important to motivate the kid to be responsible and independent. If the kid wets the bed, instead of letting them sit there and feeling guilty and ashamed, calmly show them how to change and clean the sheet and the clothes they are wearing.

 Foods and herbs that can help to cure bedwetting
High fiber diet

In treatment of bedwetting, a healthy diet can go way long towards improvement. Constipation is one of the factors responsible for bedwetting. Including fiber rich foods such as whole grains, oats, nuts and seeds, legumes, vegetables and fruits in diet can help to easily flush out harmful toxins from the body and are good to prevent constipation thus stopping or controlling bedwetting.

Nutritional information of Ragi flour

Nutritional Information of Ragi flour
Nutritional Information of Ragi flour

When can babies eat ragi?

Because of the benefits of ragi for health, it is the best weaning food for babies after the age of six months. To be clear, it should not be your baby’s first food. Steamed and mashed veggies such as potatoes, apples, etc. should be the first thing on your menu to get started. You can make Ragi malt at home and other recipe of ragi flour that is ideal for your child. (Baby’s first foods: How to introduce solids?)

HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAGI:

Here are 6 reasons why ragi needs to be the next go-to snack for children.

1. GREAT SOURCE OF PROTEIN AND FIBER: 

100 grams of Whole Ragi Flour gives 7.29 grams of protein and 16.56 grams of fibre. Ragi helps in the easy movement of foods in the stomach and adds water into the stool, hence aiding easy digestion and relieving constipation. (6 Best foods for digestion and constipation in kids)

2. CALCIUM RICH – PROMOTES HEALTHY BONES AND TEETH:

When compared to other grains, ragi flour is one of the greatest non-dairy calcium sources. Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth, as well as for the prevention of a bone-weakening condition called osteoporosis. The sprouting process can increase the calcium content in Ragi by 20 percent. (Benefits of calcium in kids)

3. IMPROVES RED BLOOD CELLS PRODUCTION – PREVENTS ANEMIA:

Naturally rich in iron, ragi benefits those with low hemoglobin levels. Also, vitamin B1 helps in the synthesis of red blood cells and generates ATP, which is used by our bodies for energy.  (Foods rich in iron)

4. GLUTEN-FREE:

Ragi is a must-have for anyone on a gluten-free diet or suffering from celiac disease. For chapatis, dosas and some sweets, ragi can readily replace wheat because it is gluten-free. (A guide to a Gluten free diet for kids)

5. RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS:

Other health benefits of ragi include its antioxidant property. Ragi is rich in antioxidants which prevents oxidation and fight against infections. Also, being a  rich source of amino acids, it aids the body’s natural ability to relax. You can efficiently combat depression, headaches and insomnia, as well as anxiety and stress, by consuming ragi. (Why do we need antioxidants)

6. GREAT PICK FOR THE LITTLE ONES AND NEW MOMS:

The health benefits of ragi make it a great choice for infants and new moms. As well as aiding with their digestion, it also strengthens their bones and promotes their overall growth. Ragi is great for stimulating milk production and balancing hormonal processes in pregnant women and young moms due to its high iron and calcium content.
