FOR THE PICKY EATERS

Most children aged 2-10 yrs are considered to be picky eaters.Mothers generally have lots of questions in mind regarding the nutrition of their child.Example-

1.Am I giving him/her the right food?

2.Is he/she getting complete nutrition?

3.Does he/she have good immunity?

4.Is his/her weight and height right for his/her age?

Reaserches based on Indian families show,80% of Indian mothers consider their child as a picky eater.About 50% mothers feel that their child falls sick very often,57% says their child lacks weight gain.

So,it is necessary for the mothers to provide with complete nutrition and a balanced meal plan.To add variety and taste to the dishes for your little one’s try these different color gravies.

WHITE GRAVY: Cashewnuts,milk,curd,fresh cream and onion

GREEN GRAVY: Green leafy vegetables,coriander leaves,curry leaves,green chillies and other spices of your choice.

RED GRAVY: Tomatoes,dry red chillies.

BROWN GRAVY: Saute coconut in pan,add onion and poppy seeds.(This is usually for non-veg preparations)

Also try your own innovative ideas as children love changes.No one can know your child better than yourself.Try finding out his/her likes and dislikes and make the food more presentable and palatable as it’s a well known fact that you eat your food first with your eyes and then with your mouth.
