Boost Kids' Growth: Dietitian Shares Essential Tips for Ages 6 Months to 15 Years

• Dr. Jyoti Singh, a dietitian at Mirzapur's Divisional Hospital, provides diet recommendations for children aged six months to 15 years.
• Balanced nutrition is crucial for children's growth, preventing issues like obesity or stunted development.
• For children up to six months, breastfeeding is essential; 6 months to 5 years need citrus fruits for immunity and carbohydrates for energy.
• Children aged 5-10 require calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, almonds, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds for height and strength.
• 15-year-olds, especially girls, benefit from iron-rich foods (cabbage, spinach, broccoli) and protein sources like sattu, eggs, and chicken; 250-300 ml milk is sufficient for 10-year-olds.
