Helping children develop good eating habits early on sets the tone for good health, steady growth, and a positive relationship with food. Here are some practical ways to build good eating habits using food available in every Indian kitchen.
Serve traditional combinations like whole wheat roti, seasonal vegetable sabzi, and dal in every meal.
Introduce bajra or jowar rotis a few times a week to add more fibre, iron, and natural strength to your child’s diet.
Keep simple options like bananas, chikoo, guava, roasted peanuts, or soaked almonds ready for quick, healthy snacking.
Choose nutritious Indian breakfasts like moong dal cheela, vegetable upma, or stuffed parathas to kickstart their day.
Treat kids with homemade options like jaggery ladoos or dates and nuts rolls instead of packaged sweets.
Let them pick fresh vegetables and help in preparing dishes like vegetable poha or fruit chaat to make them feel connected to healthy eating.
