In India, about 3 crore children under the age of five are malnourished, do not make this mistake in your child's diet

Healthy Eating Tips: The purpose of eating should not be just to fill the stomach. To stay healthy, it is important to ensure that the food contains all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

Malnutrition has become a serious problem in India. According to current data, about 16.6 percent of the population is suffering from this problem. In the Global Hunger Index 2023, India was ranked 111th on the list of 125 countries, which shows the seriousness of this situation. Apart from this, about 3 crore children under the age of five in India are victims of malnutrition.

People do not have knowledge of proper diet

Even today, a large number of people in the country are unaware of what nutrients are needed for a healthy body. Especially women, who take care of the family, often do not pay attention to the nutritional needs of their food. As a result, they and their family have to face a deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals.

These measures to avoid malnutrition 

- Take a diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. For protein, eat foods like milk, yogurt, eggs, peas, and lentils. For carbohydrates, eat cereals, porridge, and roti. Get vitamins and minerals from vegetables and fruits. 

- If you have less appetite, eat small meals three times a day and snack two to three times. Drink beverages only after meals. 

- Take supplements like iron, zinc, and iodine as per the doctor's advice and as needed.
