10 foods to keep children strong and healthy

Joy Onuorah

Here are 10 foods according to dieticians that can keep your toddlers healthy especially during the cold season:

  • Garlic: It is packed with allicin, an antioxidant that helps in keeping the babies away from illness, especially the common cold. So, try to include garlic in the recommended quantities in your babies, soup, or dal.
  • Carrots: It contains beta-carotene, and helps boost white blood cells (WBC) during the chilly days. WBCs allow the babies to improve their immune systems and protect against viral infections.The high-fibre content of carrots also helps regulate the digestive system.
  • Dates: Dates have essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium to keep the babies warm during those chilly days. Try to add dates to the smoothies, milk, or desserts. Dates are recommended in winters as they have anti-oxidative properties that stimulate metabolism.
  • Citrus fruits: Like oranges are loaded with sources of Vitamin C and fiber, antioxidants and help to maintain a healthy immune system. Give them whole oranges, sweet limes.
  • Sweet potatoes: Are packed with Vitamin A and potassium, and can be beneficial for babies during winter. Boiled sweet potato or sweet potato halwa can be given to the babies.
  • Green leafy vegetables: Contain vitamin A, C, folate, and lutein. Furthermore, spinach is packed with fiber and keeps the kid’s digestive system clean, and prevents constipation that is a common occurrence among kids. Give it in the form of soup or add it in dal.
  • Pomegranate: It carries antioxidants and can enhance the baby’s well-being. Pomegranate juice also helps to kill intestinal worms
  • Amla juice: Though kids may refuse to have amla juice,, it is beneficial for them. It contains vitamin C and helps keep various health problems and infections at bay.
