Nutritious Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the caring, loving Mothers.

On this mother’s day, let’s us emphasis on the love the mother showers on her child in form of food she serves. A mother from day one of her motherhood takes an extra effort to ensure that her baby is receiving healthy food. And healthy food terminology changes with each mother as sometimes in utmost love mothers overlook the minute details of meal served. In India, mothers generally focus on the physical growth of a child and not the overall brain development and immunity levels. The diet normally followed in Indian households is rich in macronutrients like carbohydrates, fats and proteins, supporting only physical growth but lack in micro nutrients, which is necessary for overall mental and brain development.

Gaps in daily nutrition with nutritional quality lead to nutrient deficiencies to set in at an early age. Hence, you may not be aware of your child’s nutritional deficiency even if he/she looks physically fit. Micro nutrients like Iron, Calcium, Vitamins, and Minerals play an important role in building a baby's immunity against major infections. The consequences of micronutrient deficiency among infants are far reaching and include greater morbidity due to diarrheal and viral infections, measles, reduced vaccine responses, impaired growth, and development. Doctors in India say that there is a huge gap in the knowledge about the role of micronutrients in building immunity.

Cuddle with Horlicks

Parenting involves nurturing the overall development of a child with utmost care and love. Being a parent we want our child to fight against all odds and always see to it that they excel in whatever they do. Other than emotional development that shapes the child's behavior the most discussed topic among the parents is the eating habits of their kids.

One task that gives nightmares to almost every parent is how to develop good eating habits. This anxiousness is obvious as each of them wants to give best to the child, but it’s a challenge to give nutritional yet tasty plate of food to kids.

Children, the core verve of the house is often pampered by various types of diet such as energy giving, body building and protective foods, mostly to keep their growth maintained and to keep their interest in food too. Mother's often keep an eye on the child's likes and dislikes and try to give a plate full of a variety, which is in turn full of nutrients, minerals and proteins, but children below 10 years are fussy eaters plus they are very moody when it’s mealtime; as one cannot make them understand the importance of each food item.
