Malnutrition observed during early/ late childhood/ adolescence/ young adulthood can be traced back to poor breastfeeding habits during neonatal period. Mother’s milk not only essential for nutritional requirements of the baby but it protects the baby from various infections, helps baby’s brain growth. After 6 months home made supplementary food may be added with breast-feeding. I appeal fellow netizens not to make undue requests/ pressurise the Doctors to prescribe any marketed formula feeds.

Foundation for a healthy & intelligent individual is laid down during childhood, through first feeds to the newborn. Digestive system of newborn babies are not developed enough to digest any marketed food product/ formula feed. Newborn babies can only digest their mother’s milk. Hence, it’s responsibility of the family members of the newborn baby to encourage the mother for exclusive breast-feeding (NO HONEY, NO SUGAR Water, NO Janm-Ghutti etc., even NO WATER) for first 6months of life.

जैसा खाओगे अन्न वैसा बनेगा मन ;) जहा तक प्रयास किजिए खाना सात्विक खाइये । ;) घर का बना हुआ भोजन ग्रहण करे । ;) भोजन मे कम घी व कम नमक प्रयोग करे | ;) माँसाहार का त्याग करे । ;) खाना खाने का एक निशचित समय बांधे, बार - बार भोजन ग्रहण न करे । ;) रात मे हल्का भोजन ग्रहण करे । जहाँ तक हो शाम 6 बजे तक भोजन ग्रहण कर ले । ;) भोजन के बाद कम से कम 1/2 घंटे बाद पानी पिये । ;) सप्ताह में एक बार अवश्य उपवास रखे। ;) तला भुना व डिब्बा बंद खाने से बचे |

There should be a research institute on this and recommend Indian(not just Hindi belt) foods with their nutritional values, calories and calorie intakes for different age groups, sex and heights/weights and also based on their life style, altitude etc. And also ratings for best foods/food habits in different sumpradaaya’s. There should be a complete inventory. Also Ayurveda food recommendations for each age group. Publish. And don’t do this by modern slaves or politically correctists
