A healthy child is a gift from God. He
not only keeps himself happy but his family also. The health of a child plays a
great role in deciding the mood of the child. In this post I am going to
narrate an incident about my aunt who is blessed with a beautiful and cute
angel named Mihika, who has just started attending school. The first
month in her school went off very well. She made friends and was good in class
activities. As time passed by, Mihika started disliking her school. She started
getting cranky and dull. Her class performance also fell down badly. Her mother
complaint that most of the time Mihika had been found sleeping and depressed.
Her parents tried to find out the reason behind her lackadaisical
attitude but she didn’t disclose. Her parents had been called by her class
teacher to know about the matter. Mihika’s parents tried a lot to cheer
her up but it didn’t help much. They were going through a very rough patch
because of Mihika’s health. Mihika was getting weak day by day.
One day Mihika’s teacher called her
parents and gave a number of a well known Pediatrician. Mihika’s parents
without giving any second thought took Mihika to the doctor. After examining
and counseling Mihika for an hour. The doctor called her parents inside the
room. The doctor discloses the reason behind Mihika’s lethargic attitude.
She said Mihika has not been taking her
meal properly. The Tiffin her mother packed every day for Mihika’s school
has been thrown by Mihika into the garbage. As Mihika was not having a healthy
diet, this has resulted in making her an anemic. Her parents were shocked and
tensed. Mihika’s mother started shedding tears from her eyes. Her
mother also confessed that she had not been taking her meals properly even at
home and this makes her mother worried. They decided to plan a proper diet for
Mihika and she was advised by the doctor to eat green and leafy vegetables and
vegetables which are rich in vitamins. She was also advised to take two glasses
of milk daily.
One of the great things children could
have which would increase their immunity is Dabur Chyawanprash. The herbs like
ambla, ashwagandha etc helps in fighting harmful germs like virus and
bacteria. Her mother was also advised by the doctor to find some
innovative methods in cooking so that it would make the food look more
attractive and tasteful.
Mihika’s mother followed all the advises
given by the doctor and now Mihika is a happy and healthy child. Her
performance in the class has also improved. She has been doing well in her
studies and has become more active than before. She makes sure she finishes her
tiffin ever day. This has brought happiness back in her parents life.
