Immunity Booster Food – Seeing our kids going through the viral and painful infections is very painful for every parent. And I am nowhere different. My child was born underweight. She was prone to get infections very frequently.
This kept happening for almost three years of her age. And we were tired and pained to see her like this. Fever, cold and cough were erupting almost every month. We had taken the help of doctors and multi-vitamins too. But nothing really worked that well.
My father reads a lot about Ayurveda and natural living and he is forever against the allopathy medicines. Instead of keeping my daughter on medicines and so-called immunity boosters available in the market, he suggested some home remedies. And I started following it religiously.
The home remedies include the foods that we eat regularly. Nothing extra-ordinary was added to my daughter’s diet and lifestyle. And soon I started seeing a wonderful difference in her health.
The cold and cough episodes had decreased dramatically. She was getting fever fewer times now. And after a period of six months, she was much better than what she used to be.
Coming to the Recipe of one of the Immunity Booster Food For Kids that I offered to her. I offered her a small quantity of Instant Dry Fruits Kheer at least twice a week, along with the regular homemade meals.
This kheer or call it a thick shake, is one of the quickest and healthiest recipes to add in your child’s diet, and it can be given to the babies above one year of age. Just make sure there are no lumps in this kheer/porridge.
