Seasonal Diets
Back to FaqsSeasonal eating is important for children's health as it gives them fresh, nutritious foods that suit the weather. It also gives them important vitamins and minerals, supports immunity, and helps to meet the body's changing nutritional demands throughout the year.
Give your children plenty of water, fresh fruits, coconut water, buttermilk, homemade lemonade, and water-rich vegetables to keep them hydrated and nourished during hot weather. Serve light, balanced meals and encourage children to drink fluids regularly.
Children can have watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, curd, buttermilk, coconut water, mangoes, seasonal fruits, vegetable salads, and light home-cooked meals during summer. These foods keep them hydrated, refreshed, and nourished during summer.
Warm homemade soups, dal, khichdi, seasonal vegetables, citrus fruits, yoghurt, turmeric milk, and foods rich in vitamin C are good foods for children during the monsoon. They boost immunity and provide essential nutrients.
