Are oats good for kids

Are oats good for kids?

I have seen some mothers start weaning with oats or even continue later on …specially morning time as kids don't drink milk so a way to give milk too.....please oats are not for kids, yes oats are good in fibre.

🍎They can deplete the body of vital minerals

🍎They may bloat their small tummies and kids may feel full after eating small quantities and may not feel hungry for quite some time.

🍎This is a stage when their nutritional needs are higher we need to feed them nutrient dense foods not just fibre and fill them up.

Similarly a home cooked usual breakfast like paratha, poha, upma, idli, uttapas are better with probiotics and other nutrients like proteins,  vitamins which are systems are used to eating....

A balanced home cooked meal consisting of cereals ,pulses or dals , milk and its products along with fruit and vegetables is good enough to meet the requirement.

Buckwheat -kuttu

Buckwheat also known as Kuttu  a superfood eaten during fasting

Buckwheat is one of the healthiest, nuttiest, most versatile whole grains. And despite its name, it's really not related to wheat at all. Buckwheat is actually the seed of a flowering fruit that is related to rhubarb and sorrel. ... So it's a popular substitute for wheat for those who are gluten-intolerant.

Diabetes management during fasting

Diabetes management during fasts

Fasting should not make us weak, irritable or create an urge to indulge later. This happens when there is no noble goal behind fasting. The Bhagavad Gita urges us to eat appropriately – neither too less nor too much - yukta-aahaara, and to eat simple, pure and healthy food (a saatvik diet) even when not fasting.

Fasting with diabetes poses significant risks, following points should be considered while diabetics undertake fasting…

🍉Monitor your blood glucose regularly during the fast.

🍓Choose water or aim to drink sugar free and caffeine free drinks frequently throughout the day.

🍒If you experience hypoglycemic symptoms, it is advisable to break the fast.

🍅Do light exercise and take rest when possible to help avoid lowering of blood glucose levels.

🍑Keep the portion sizes moderate. Overeating is a greatest risk.

🍎Continue taking your diabetes medicine, regarding dosage and timings talk to your doctor.

🍊If you eat one meal should contain a balance of whole grain like jowar, Bajra, jav, nachani as well as some protein from  pulses, panir, curd,milk and small amounts of heart healthy fats, limit added sugars.

🍏If you need to eat fasting foods eat Rajigira,  Samak, kuttu (Buck Wheat)  instead of sabudana, fried foods and sweets.

🍎Eat every 2-3 hrs, include fresh fruits and vegetables.

🍋Keep sensible portions in mind and follow the same guidelines for healthy eating that you do the rest of the year.
