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.

6 Healthy Rice Recipes: Easy and Kids Friendly

Rice recipes easy
| Srilekha

Children usually get bored when they consume the same foods every day. As a result, it is essential that we provide a range of flavours from our staple diet, such as rice, to keep kids away from junk food. Rice recipes are easy to prepare and nutritious for children. There is no limit to creativity, flavours and ideas with rice recipes that you can cook to tempt your kid’s taste buds.

Rice is a popular staple meal that is generally given to newborns as their first solid foods. It has several health advantages for newborns, including being an excellent source of B complex vitamins, being energy-dense, having helpful protein in rice, being easy to digest, rejuvenating the body when blended with milk, and being a remedy for diarrhea and dysentery. Rice is also mom’s favourite healthy cooking ingredient because of its nutritious characteristics.

When can babies eat rice?

Rice is a relatively low allergen food that is good for newborns to digest. Rice may be given to kids as early as six months old, which is also the recommended age to begin solid foods. (Baby’s first foods: How to introduce solids?)

Health benefits of rice for babies:

Rice provides the following advantages to a baby:

  1. Replenishes the body’s energy: 100g of rice cereal provides around 79.15g of carbs. A cup of rice cereal might provide your kid the energy he or she needs to be active.
  2. Great source of vitamin B: Whole or brown rice is an excellent source of B complex vitamins. Each of these vitamins plays a crucial part in the baby’s entire development, including physical and mental development.
  3. Easily digestible: Rice, especially white rice, is extremely easy to digest. This is beneficial for newborns because they cannot digest heavier foods. Their digestive systems have not matured to the point where they can digest heavy, complex foods. (5 recipes for easy digestion in kids)
  4. Good for Bones: Rice is high in calcium and magnesium, both of which are necessary for strong bones. Regular rice meals, in addition to breast milk, can provide an extra calcium supply for the infant. (Foods for strong bones)
  5. Good for overall health: Along with macronutrients, rice includes trace amounts of micronutrients such as zinc, copper, and selenium, which are vital for proper growth and are required for several functions of the body. (7 health foods for kids daily nutrition)

What is iron and its benefits?

Iron is a necessary mineral for the body’s production of hemoglobin. It is essential for the growth and development of kids – both physical and mental growth.

Benefits of Iron:
  1. Iron is required by the body to synthesize hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that aids in carrying oxygen to other cells. However, deficiency of iron causes anemia, which is why adding more foods for iron is required. It can help your child’s blood circulate and remain healthy.
  2. Enough iron consumption in growing children is linked to good cognitive development. Iron-rich foods should be included in your child’s diet because the majority of a child’s cognitive development happens during the first six years of life.
  3. Iron prevents hair loss, gives the skin a healthy glow and also speeds wound and injury recovery. 
  4. It enhances appetite, combats tiredness, boosts immunity and keeps kids active all day. (7 foods to boost immunity in kids)

Symptoms of iron deficiency or anemia in children include:

If you notice these symptoms in your kid, you must consult a doctor. Iron supplements can only be taken under the doctor’s supervision because excess iron accumulation can cause other complications. Undoubtedly, the best way to consume any nutrient is to take it through food. That results in lesser chances of overconsumption also. However, there are many foods for iron in India that can help to overcome iron deficiency.

The recommended amount of iron intake depends upon the age of the kid. When a baby is born, he/ she has iron stored in their bodies after that they get iron from mother’s milk or milk supplements. Once they start eating solids, they require more iron. As per studies the recommended amount of iron in kids is:

AgeDosage
Birth to 6 months0.27 mg (adequate)
7- 12 m11mg/ day
1-3 years7 mg/ day
4-8 years10mg/ day
9-13 years8 mg/ day
14-18 years11mg/ day (boy) 15mg/ day(girl)

How can a child’s body absorb more iron? 

  • Iron-rich meals should be served with vitamin C-rich foods, as vitamin C aids iron absorption. Oranges, lemons, strawberries, Indian gooseberries, guava, tomato, and other Vitamin C rich foods are also some examples. 
  • Calcium (particularly milk) hinders iron absorption, so limit your calcium consumption between iron-rich meals. Allow at least 4-5 hours between eating iron-rich meals and calcium-rich foods.
  • Cooking in iron pots and pans may assist to leach some iron into the meal. Make sure the iron containers do not rust by taking proper care of them. (What happens when you cook food in cast-iron cookware / skillet?)

5 Top Ayurvedic Herbs that are Safe for Kids

top ayurvedic herbs for kids by Iyurved
| Shilpi

Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. Ayurvedic medicine can prevent and cure many ailments. Ayurveda suggests that exercise, diet, and herbs are the primary factors behind good health. These 5 top ayurvedic herbs have many health benefits for kids as well as adults.

Giving these herbs to kids on a daily basis can support the overall health of the child and prevent many ailments in the long run. However, feeding these herbs to kids in the form of tablets or capsules is not easy. Iyurved brings to you these herbs along with the goodness of selected nuts and seeds in the form of healthy Ayurvedic spreads (available in savoury and chocolate flavours) which the child can happily eat on a daily basis.

Ashwagandha

Withania somnifera or Indian ginseng, winter cherry or Ashwagandha is one of the top Ayurvedic herbs that has been used for good health and medicinal purposes over centuries. The Sanskrit word ashwa means horse and gandha means aroma which technically represents a fragrant root which when consumed can provide the strength and power of horses. 

Health Benefits of Ashwagandha for kids:

Improves brain power:

Health benefits of Ashwagandha also include raising the level of acetylcholine, the most important neurotransmitter associated with boosting brain power. In addition, studies suggest that impaired cognitive function including inability to learn are associated with decreased levels of acetylcholine. Research on children with ADHD indicates Ashwagandha raises acetylcholine by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine. Furthermore, Ashwagandha root also contains choline, a substance necessary for the formation of acetylcholine.

Boosts immunity:

Improving our children’s immune system is something all parents want to achieve especially during this pandemic. That is why as an anti-oxidant and immunomodulator, boosting immunity is one of the most popular benefits of Ashwagandha for kids. 

Reduces stress & anxiety:

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen herb. Adaptogens are herbal supplements that work to counteract the effects of stress in the body. Amongst many benefits of Ashwagandha, the most important is that it is a natural way to enable our kids’ bodies to handle and tolerate stress way better. Studies have shown that Ashwagandha is an excellent stress reliever and thus can be extremely helpful for our children and teenagers. 

Promotes better sleep & relaxation:

This herb can help children to improve sleep and thus helps in improving overall well-being. Moreover, research also suggests that ashwagandha root contains natural sleep-inducing compounds which are not addictive by nature.

Brahmi:

Brahmi, also known as ‘Bacopa monnieri’, is a perennial herb which is popular as a traditional medicine all around the world. It is regarded as a mental tonic that increases memory power, focus, concentration and improves mental alertness which are very important for growing children. There are many other health benefits of Brahmi for kids and that is why it is one of the top ayurvedic herbs.

Health Benefits of Brahmi for kids:

Considered a brain tonic:

Brahmi is a superfood for the 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.  Studies have shown that the active components in Brahmi have very positive effects in maintaining brain health. That is why in older times, kids were often given Brahmi powder with ghee/honey. This would increase their focus and attention, while keeping them calm and relaxed. (Brain development food for children?)

Boosts Immunity:

Regular consumption of this herb can strengthen your child’s immune system. Bacosides, the active ingredient in Brahmi, can neutralise free radicals and prevent fat molecules from reacting with the free radicals, thereby maintaining high immunity in the body.

Reduces Stress:

Eating brahmi decreases the levels of cortisol in the body, which is a stress hormone. Also, it lowers the effects of stress and makes one feel relaxed and calm.

Improves respiratory health:

Brahmi has been used in many ayurvedic treatments for congestion, bronchitis, sinus, and cold. It can help to clear excess mucus and phlegm and decrease the inflammation in the respiratory tracts and throat thereby providing you instant relief.

Supports Digestion:

Brahmi improves the digestive strength and aids proper digestion of food. It helps in treating AMA Dosha (As per Ayurveda, AMA dosha is related to undigested food caused by weak digestion.)

Treats Epilepsy:

For thousands of years, the leaves of the herb have been used to treat epilepsy. Brahmi capsule sharpens the brain by protecting cells, increasing learning and memory power. Studies suggest that it is very helpful in preventing epileptic fits and other forms of mental diseases such as neuralgia and bipolar disorder. (What is epilepsy?)

Turmeric/Curcumin:

Turmeric is a a very common root that is used as a seasoning in many Indian recipes. There are many health benefits of turmeric milk for kids and turmeric in general.

THE Health Benefits of TURMERIC for kids:

Fights infections:

Children have a tendency to develop fevers and illnesses caused by bacteria and viruses. The antimicrobial property of turmeric helps keep these diseases at bay and can speed up the recovery process. 

Boosts immunity:

Young children have a developing immune system that may not be strong enough to ward off potent germs. Curcumin in turmeric fortifies the immune system’s response to foreign bodies that attack the system. (What are some other foods for immunity?)

Improves digestion:

Children often complain of stomach aches and upset tummies. Turmeric helps with the process of digestion by increasing bile production and regularizing bowel movement. Turmeric milk helps to cleanse the system.

Supports brain development:

Curcumin has a protein known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which is found in the brain and spinal cord. This 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. Research has proven a positive impact of curcumin supplementation on BDNF levels.

Relieves congestion and cold:

Warm turmeric milk is a great beverage for kids to treat the common cold and a sore throat. One glass before bedtime can temporarily help clear out the nasal passage and let your child sleep peacefully. (What are some home remedies for cough and cold?)

Acts as an antioxidant:

Curcumin is a compound found in turmeric that offers therapeutic relief. It is a very strong antioxidant which supports the body against cell damage. And helps to delay or reverse diseases. In addition, it also lowers the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mulethi/Licorice:

Mulethi is also called Yashtimadhu in Ayurveda. It is also one of the top ayurvedic herbs well-known in Indian treatment. It is used for several purposes, especially for kids. Also, the roots are the main part of the plant and used in several health issues.

Health Benefits of Mulethi for kids:

Treats dry cough:

Mulethi works as a great therapy for cough, sore throat, bronchitis and throat irritation. Due to antibacterial properties, it also reduces infection of the upper respiratory tract.

Promotes digestion:

Mulethi is an excellent digestive herb. Its anti-flatulent property reduces the formation of gas in the alimentary canal, thus reducing flatulence, bloating and abdominal discomfort. It also increases appetite, reduces indigestion and promotes better absorption of nutrients in the body. The high fibre content also makes it a potent remedy for constipation and other digestive issues. (What are some easy recipes for digestion?)

Improves brain functions:

Mulethi is extremely beneficial for boosting brain development in kids. The powerful antioxidants and flavonoids present in the sweet root of the licorice plant improve the memory capacity, concentration, focus, calmness, and alertness of an individual. In addition, it also improves reasoning, problem-solving, and other cognitive abilities. The neuroprotective elements in the plant prevent loss of memory and relieve the mind from stress and tension. It also helps in preventing the risk of several psychotic diseases like epilepsy, dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Boosts Immunity:

The antimicrobial properties of mulethi helps to bolster immunity and shields the body from various microbial infections. It also improves the function of the liver, kidney and adrenal glands which in turn helps in reducing the stress levels.

 बच्चों का वजन बढ़ाने के लिए 6 रेसिपीज़

weight gain recipes in Hindi by Iyurved
| Shilpi

आमतौर पर हम बच्चों में मोटापे के बारे में सुनते हैं और माता पिता उनके वज़न नियंत्रण  के लिये परेशान होते हैं पर आपको यह जानकर हैरानी होगी कि कई लोगों को बच्चों के लिए वज़न बढ़ाने के लिये टिप्स चाहिये होते हैं या बच्चों के वज़न बढ़ाने के लिए भोजन की तलाश करनी पड़ती है। कम वज़न वाले बच्चों को आमतौर पर बहुत अच्छी भूख नहीं लगती है या वे स्नैक्स या फास्ट-फूड से ही अपना पेट भर लेते हैं। इसलिए शरीर के लिए आवश्यक पोषक तत्वों की आवश्यकता कभी पूरी नहीं हो पाती है। कई माता-पिता वजन में कमी को खाने की कमी से भी जोड़ते हैं। हालांकि यह सच हो सकता है, लेकिन बच्चों में वजन न बढ़ने के कई कारण होते हैं। इस लेख में, आप वजन बढ़ाने के लिए रेसिपीज़ और व्यंजनों के बारे में जानेंगे।

कम वजन होने का क्या अर्थ है?

कम वजन होने का मतलब है कि आप अपने लिंग, उम्र और ऊंचाई के अनुसार अनुशंसित वजन सीमा से कम हैं। बॉडी मास इंडेक्स (बीएमआई) यह निर्धारित करने का एक विशिष्ट तरीका है कि किसी व्यक्ति का वजन स्वस्थ सीमा के भीतर है या नहीं। वजन से ऊंचाई के अनुपात का उपयोग करके, लोग अपने बॉडी मास इंडेक्स (बीएमआई) की गणना कर सकते हैं। आमतौर पर 18.5–24.9 के बीएमआई की सिफारिश की जाती है। 18.5 से कम बीएमआई वाले कम वजन वाले व्यक्ति को वजन बढ़ाने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है। हालांकि, ऐसे उदाहरण हैं जिनमें एक व्यक्ति का बीएमआई कम हो सकता है और फिर भी वह स्वस्थ हो सकता है। कुछ विशेषताओं, जैसे कि मांसपेशी द्रव्यमान (मसल मास), को बीएमआई माप द्वारा ध्यान में नहीं रखा जाता है। इससे स्वस्थ व्यक्ति का वजन अधिक हो सकता है। सामान्य तौर पर, किसी व्यक्ति का बीएमआई एक अच्छा संकेत देता है कि वे स्वस्थ वजन सीमा में हैं या नहीं।

तनाव, खराब खान-पान, अनियमित भोजन, शारीरिक फिटनेस की कमी और आनुवंशिकी (जेनेटिक्स) कुछ सबसे प्रचलित कारण हैं जिनकी वजह से लोग अपना वजन नहीं बढ़ा पाते हैं और अपना वजन बनाए नहीं रख पाते हैं। (वजन न बढ़ने का कारण)

कम वजन होने से जुड़े जोखिम:

शरीर का वजन कम होने से कई तरह के स्वास्थ्य संबंधी खतरे होते हैं। कई परिस्थितियों में कम वजन होने के लिए अक्सर अस्वास्थ्यकर खाने की आदतें जिम्मेदार होती हैं। इससे कुपोषण हो सकता है, जिसकी अपनी चिंताएं हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, विटामिन डी की कमी आपकी हड्डियों के स्वास्थ्य के लिए हानिकारक हो सकती है।

शरीर को ठीक से काम करने के लिए हर दिन पर्याप्त मात्रा में कैलोरी का सेवन करना चाहिए। कम कैलोरीज़ वाले आहार की वजह से निम्नलिखित समस्याएं हो सकती हैं:

  • मतली और थकान
  • बालों और त्वचा की समस्या 
  • बिगड़ा हुआ प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली
  • अस्थि विकार
  • बांझपन
  • विकास संबंधी समस्याएं
  • खाने की असामान्य आदतें
  • उच्च संक्रमण जोखिम

स्वस्थ वजन बढ़ाने के लिए 7 युक्तियों का पालन करें:

वजन बढ़ाने के लिए आप उचित वजन बढ़ाने वाले आहार योजना का पालन कर सकते हैं। कैलोरी और प्रोटीन की खपत बढ़ाने के अलावा, बहुत अधिक कैलोरी युक्त लेकिन कम पोषण मूल्य वाली बहुत सी चीजें खाए बिना एक स्वस्थ संतुलित आहार बनाए रखना भी आवश्यक है। (बच्चों के लिए कुछ पौष्टिक वजन बढ़ाने वाले खाद्य पदार्थ क्या हैं)

निम्नलिखित टिप्स मदद कर सकते हैं:

1. ऐसे खाद्य पदार्थों का चयन करें जो कैलोरी युक्त और पोषक दोनों हों

वजन बढ़ाने के लिए आपको उच्च कैलोरी वाले अस्वास्थ्यकर भोजन का सेवन शुरू नहीं करना चाहिए। जंक फूड आमतौर पर वसा और चीनी से मुख्य रूप से कैलोरी प्रदान करता है। उनमें कोई पोषण नहीं होता है।

2.अपने आहार में मेवे और बीज शामिल करें:

अगर आप अपना वजन देख रहे हैं, तो मूंगफली, बादाम, काजू जैसे मेवे एक अच्छा विकल्प हैं। यह पोषक तत्वों के साथ-साथ फाइबर, खनिज, लाभकारी तेलों और एंटीऑक्सिडेंट में समृद्ध है। यहां तक ​​कि नट बटर भी पौष्टिक होते हैं। (मेवे इतने महत्वपूर्ण क्यों हैं?) यदि आप उनकी तुलना डेयरी मक्खन से करते हैं, तो वे अच्छे फैटी एसिड और कैलोरी से भरपूर होते हैं। साथ ही कद्दू, सूरजमुखी और अलसी जैसे बीज खनिजों और एंटीऑक्सीडेंट से भरपूर होते हैं। (बीज कैसे प्रोटीन का अच्छा स्रोत हैं?)

3.नियमित अंतराल पर खाएं:

अपने तीन मुख्य भोजन में कम से कम तीन स्नैक्स शामिल करें, ताकि आप उचित समय में अधिक कैलोरी का उपभोग कर सकें। ऐसा होने के लिए, आपको नियमित अंतराल पर खाना चाहिए ताकि भोजन पच सके और अतिरिक्त भोजन के लिए जगह हो। इसलिए, हर दो घंटे में नाश्ता करना एक अच्छा विचार है। (अपने बच्चे की भूख कैसे बढ़ाएं?)

4.स्वस्थ वसा और तेल का सेवन करें:

स्वस्थ विकल्प बनाते समय तेल जिसमें मोनो- और पॉली-अनसैचुरेटेड वसा दोनों शामिल हैं, संतृप्त वसा के निचले स्तर के साथ मिलकर शामिल किया जाना चाहिए। एक उपयुक्त विकल्प वनस्पति तेल जैसे सूरजमुखी और जैतून, मेवे के तेल जैसे मूंगफली, और चावल की भूसी का तेल है। (संतृप्त वसा क्या है?)

5.हाई कैलोरी स्मूदी या शेक पिएं:

यदि आपको कम भूख लगती है, तो आप बड़े भोजन के बजाय उच्च कैलोरी शेक या स्मूदी का सेवन कर सकते हैं। शेक और स्मूदी आपको पूर्ण महसूस कराए बिना पोषक तत्वों से भरपूर कैलोरी प्रदान करते हैं।

6.कुछ शारीरिक गतिविधियों या वजन प्रशिक्षण में शामिल करें:

बच्चों के लिए कुछ शारीरिक गतिविधियों जैसे साइकिल चलाना, चलना/दौड़ना, तैराकी आदि को दैनिक आधार पर शामिल करना महत्वपूर्ण है। यह बच्चों को खाद्य पदार्थों को पचाने में मदद करता है और उनके अगले भोजन के लिए जगह बनाता है। वयस्कों के लिए, सप्ताह में कम से कम 3 बार वजन प्रशिक्षण शरीर में स्वस्थ वजन जोड़ने में मदद करता है।

7.सही स्नैक्स चुनें:

भोजन के बीच में नाश्ता करना कुछ कैलोरी जोड़ने का एक अच्छा तरीका है। भोजन के दो घंटे बाद आपको स्नैक का सेवन करना चाहिए। एक स्नैक में कम से कम 200 किलो कैलोरी होनी चाहिए न कि आपको स्टफिंग करनी चाहिए, ताकि आप बाद में भोजन का आनंद लें।

वजन बढ़ाने का डाइट प्लान:

वेज  पुलाव:

एक शाकाहारी के रूप में, आपके पास मांस की प्रोटीन और कार्बोहाइड्रेट सामग्री नहीं हो सकती है। हालांकि, सही मात्रा में सही सब्जियां खाने से आप वजन बढ़ा सकते हैं और स्वस्थ रह सकते हैं। कद्दू, चुकंदर, आलू, मक्का, मटर और रतालू कुछ ऐसी सब्जियां हैं जो वजन बढ़ाने में मदद करती हैं और बच्चों के लिए वजन बढ़ाने वाले खाद्य पदार्थों में शामिल हैं।

5 Easy Pasta Recipes with Vegetables Hidden Inside

pasta recipes vegetables
| Srilekha

When you have a picky eater in the house, it can be tough to come up with fresh and exciting meal ideas. However, when it comes to satisfying both flavour and nutrition in your child’s diet, pasta may be the greatest option. Easy, classic pasta recipes with vegetables are an excellent way to include nutrition into your child’s favourite meal. It may be carried in a lunch box or offered as an after-school snack while your child is watching his or her favourite TV show or the T20, IPL live. 

Pasta is one of the most popular foods among children because of its smoothness, variety of forms, and ability to be prepared in a variety of ways while retaining the majority of its original flavour. It is made from whole grains and has its own set of health benefits. Some parents, though, maybe concerned about adding carbohydrates to their child’s diet too soon. While there is no need to be concerned because newborns require carbohydrates for growth and development, parents should be aware that when served in moderation and in combination with other nutritious meals, pasta recipes with vegetables may be a nutritious meal option for their children. ( 10 easy dinner recipes in India for kids of all ages)

This article will explain the benefits of pasta and provide a few nutritious pasta recipes with vegetables for kids.

When and how to introduce pasta to babies?

Pasta is best offered during the solid food phase, which begins when your baby has hit the age of 6 months and has been introduced to purees (Baby’s first foods). When making pasta for newborns, keep in mind that it should be thoroughly cooked so that it may be mashed if necessary. You can be creative and make meals exciting for the infant by using different types of pasta, such as stars, bows, or elbow-shaped pasta. (5 recipes for easy digestion in kids)

It is also a typical dish served during baby-led weaning. If you have not already introduced egg or wheat into your baby’s diet, be cautious while introducing pasta because it frequently contains both of these major food allergies.

What are some ways to make pasta healthier?

Here are a few suggestions for making pasta dishes healthier: (Healthy snacks in the evening – Roasted Makhana)

  • You may choose pasta produced from legume flour (black bean pasta, chickpea pasta, lentil pasta) which is often higher in nutrients than pasta prepared from rice or wheat flour.
  • Enriched pasta will also provide additional nutrients such as iron and B vitamins.
  • Moreover, you may make your child’s favourite food healthy by including extra vegetables in hidden forms, such as vegetable sauce.

Precautions to keep in mind while introducing pasta to children

Getting to know your pasta is essential, especially if it is not a common meal in your region. Here are some things to keep in mind while giving pasta for your child –

  1. Pasta should be consumed in moderation and as part of a well-balanced diet.
  2. Before you buy pasta, be sure you know what the base component is. Make sure the pasta you choose is not processed, or prepared with all-purpose flour or maida. Pasta for newborns should be made from whole wheat, durum wheat, or rice flour.
  3. Make sure there are no additives or artificial flavours in your baby’s food since they might harm his or her health.
  4. When serving pasta as finger food, keep an eye out for choking hazards. Give them tiny pasta or chop regular pasta into smaller pieces.
  5. If your baby does not appear to enjoy the texture of pasta, you can stop feeding it for a few days and reintroduce later.

Healthy pasta recipes with vegetables:

As already said, pasta must be cooked in a specific manner in order for the babies to digest it easily. However, these pasta recipes with vegetables, like many pasta dishes with a base sauce, include a hidden vegetable sauce, which is an excellent way to improve a child’s vegetable consumption.

Symptoms for acid reflux and 6 home remedies for kids

| Rupali

It is a matter of worry for a new mom if the baby spits up milk. Acid reflux in babies is absolutely normal and every baby has this during the early months. If the baby is taking his/her feed properly, gaining weight, and reaching all the required growth and development milestones, nothing to worry about. In such conditions, acid reflux is not a matter of concern at all. Generally, babies stop having reflux around 1 year of age. If a child continues to have symptoms for acid reflux for long, he/she may need to check it with a paediatrician.

We have often experienced a burning sensation in the chest after eating something very spicy. Like that only, infants also suffer from the same condition but the reason may not be the same as that of adults. There are some common symptoms for acid reflux that can be seen in babies and kids. However, lets first understand what exactly acid reflux is ?

What is GERD?

GERD is Gastroesophageal reflux disease which causes upward movement of stomach content. It includes acid into the esophagus (the muscular tube that connects the mouth and stomach) or sometimes into or out of the mouth. Poor coordination with the gastrointestinal tract is the main cause of reflex in babies. Infants with GERD are otherwise healthy, but some may develop problems that affect their nerves, brain or muscles.

According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearing house, A child’s immature digestive system is responsible for it and most infants come out of this condition as they complete one year of age. 5% of older children are at risk of having GERD, if he/she experienced it as a baby. Causes of GERD in older children are the same as seen in adults. Some factors that are responsible for having GERD in kids are overeating, spicy fried junk foods, carbonation, obesity or sometimes any specific medication. It can also be hereditary.

Foods that can help in acid reflux

Fiber rich foods

Overeating is one of the main causes of acid reflux. Fiber rich foods make you feel full and reduce the chances of overeating. Oatmeal, brown rice, root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets, are some foods that are high in fiber and can help to control reflex.

Alkaline foods

Foods that have low pH are more likely to cause reflux. Alkaline foods have high pH and help to offset strong stomach acid. Bananas, apples, melon, fennel, nuts are some foods that can help to fix acid reflux.

Water base foods

Foods that contain lots of water are the right choice to treat acid reflux. Water easily gets diluted, weakens stomach acid and prevents reflex. Cucumber, water melon, broth based soup can help in acid reflux.

Home remedies

Ginger

Ginger is alkaline in nature. It has some great medicinal properties that makes it one of the best digestive aids. Its anti- inflammatory properties help to ease irritation in the digestive tract.

Aloe Vera Juice

A 2015 study found that aloe vera juice is effective in reducing symptoms of acid reflux. It acts as an anti- inflammatory agent and soothes the stomach by reducing acid production.

Coconut water

Coconut water helps to fix acid reflux as it has electrolytes (potassium) that promotes better pH balance in body. It has cleansing properties that can help to flush out toxins from body and also helps with regular bowel movements.

cold low fat milk

Low fat milk is another way to control reflux. It absorbs acid formation in the stomach. Having a plain glass of cold milk without sugar or any additives can stop acid reflux. Cow milk should be avoided as it is difficult to digest it. Plant based milk like almond milk is alkaline in nature. It can help to neutralize stomach acid and relieve acid reflux. Soy milk is also a good choice as it contains low fat.

Buttermilk and curd

Natural bacteria in buttermilk and curd do not allow acid formation and can help to prevent reflux. They maintain gut health and keep the digestive system healthy. having curd or buttermilk after meal is an excellent way to avoid the chances of having acid reflux.

8 healthy and creamy recipe of smoothies and milkshakes

| Srilekha

Are you worried that your children are not getting enough nutrients every day? Smoothies and milkshakes are a tasty and nutritious solution! They are simple, quick, delicious and ideal for breakfast, snacking, or a quick lunch on the run! These 8 recipe of smoothies and milkshakes can help your child consume more fruits, veggies, and add nutrients into their tiny belly.

Smoothies vs milkshakes: What’s the difference?

Almost everyone enjoys smoothies and milkshakes. These two delicious treats are frequently confused. However, they are extremely different in terms of preparation as well as consistency. Milkshakes are dairy-based drinks that are typically made with fruits, ice cream, and flavouring syrups. Smoothies, on the other hand, are often made with fruits or other ingredients such as milk, yogurt, or seeds. Milkshakes cannot be used as a meal, but smoothies may also be consumed as a meal replacement because of their high mineral and vitamin content. (2 ways to add nutrition to your kid’s food while travelling)

Tips for making healthy recipe of smoothies and milkshakes at home

Kids may be picky when it comes to eating. But, who can say no to a smoothie or milkshake? This miraculous beverage is the answer to ensuring that your child receives all of the necessary nutrients. Here are some ideas for making the recipe of smoothies and milkshakes healthier and more flavorful.

  1. Make sure to include all of your children’s favourite ingredients, such as chocolate or ice cream, when introducing smoothies and milkshakes. A few fruits and nuts can be sneaked in.
  2. Instead of adding sweeteners like sugar, allow the combination of fruits to be the natural sweeteners like a ripe banana, which is quite sweet. (Healthy alternatives of sugar for kids)
  3. Seasonal fruits, such as mangoes, watermelons, and strawberries, should be included because they are not available all year.
  4. Try adding a new ingredient to your smoothies or milkshake every time. It gives the beverage a fresh flavour.
  5. Here’s what you can do if your youngster refuses to eat vegetables. Spinach and broccoli, for example, have a moderate flavour. Strawberries, bananas, and oranges are examples of sweet and tart fruits that can be added. They will never suspect there are veggies in there.

Smoothies:

Smoothies are finely blended juices prepared from fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products such as milk or yogurt. They can also be made entirely of fruit or vegetables, or a combination of the two, and without the use of dairy ingredients. It’s called a smoothie because of its smooth, creamy texture and consistency, which appeal to kids. They are also high in carbohydrates and low in fat since they are created from real fruits and vegetables.
