Eating healthy is the key to happiness
The importance of health has been ingrained in our minds since time immemorial; so much so that we are often reminded of the phrase that if you lose your health, you lose everything. It is a challenging task to stay one hundred percent healthy nowadays thanks to inorganic food, polluted drinking water, smoggy air we breathe and last but not least, messy lifestyle. It is important to have a balanced diet and regular exercise. Keep checking your BMI and make sure it’s under control. Obesity leads to a number of disorders and diseases, so try to cut down on carbs and avoid junk food as much as you can.
Healthy eating should start when you are a baby. Babies should be fed only breast milk because it is the only and most nutritious thing a baby survives on for the first few months. When the baby is breastfed, the mother should maintain a diet specifically focused on foods rich in iron and zinc. Calcium is also necessary for strong bones because a new mother has to run a lot. Malt-based feed, which is mainly extracted from barley, is a highly nutritious substance. The aqueous extracts of barley malt, called “wort”, contain all the essential vitamins of the B family (niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, thiamine, nicotinic acid, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), biotin and folic acid); in addition to amino acids and proteins, minerals (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc) and soluble fiber (glucans). Malted drinks like Choco Malt, Malto Vitaa, Champion, Choco Vita, etc. They are excellent sources for a healthy life.
Once the baby is 5-6 months old, the weaning process will begin. The mother will gradually replace or add other food sources with breast milk. Usually mothers feed formula or mashed plantain and sometimes mashed rice with boiled lentils. It is prudent to give the baby a specially prepared weaning food mixed with various fruits, vegetables and legumes. In other words, the kit should be a judicious mix of Protein – easy to digest and helps in rapid growth, Carbohydrates – acts as an energy booster, Vitamin, Calcium and Phosphorus for strong teeth and bones, Iron and Zinc for rich formation of blood. This type of weaning food is very good for nourishing the health and growth of the baby.
These days, supermarkets are full of processed foods. Before you buy anything off the shelf, check the labels: if there are more than 6 ingredients, it’s most likely a processed food. Please avoid them because you should thrive towards eating healthy foods that have no ingredients other than themselves. It is very difficult to change eating habits once our taste buds develop a liking for a particular food. So the trick is to develop a taste for healthy food. Consuming sugar in the form of ice cream or candy is okay from time to time, but not always. Instead, you can replace them with natural sugar available from dates, grapes, homemade honey, maple syrup, etc.
