#asktheexpert my daughter is very week. how can i grow her health

A. To help your 4-year, 9-month-old child grow healthy and strong, focus on providing a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, a proper routine, and ensuring good overall health. Key Tips: Nutritious Diet: Give 3 main meals and 2 snacks daily. Include protein: eggs, dal, paneer, curd, chicken, fish. Add healthy fats: ghee, nuts powder (mixed in roti or porridge), peanut butter. Offer energy foods: banana, sweet potato, rice, whole wheat roti, khichdi with ghee. Encourage fruits and vegetables daily. Replace milk with curd or milk-based smoothies if he resists plain milk. Boost Immunity: Give vitamin C-rich fruits (orange, amla, guava), turmeric milk, and tulsi-honey (if over 1 year). Make sure he plays outdoors in sunlight for vitamin D. Check Health Issues: Rule out worm infection (deworm every 6 months after pediatrician advice). Get a growth check-up and ask about iron, vitamin D, or thyroid if weakness continues. Encourage Active Play: Daily physical activity like running, cycling, or playing outside builds strength and appetite. If you’d like, I can prepare a one-week meal plan to help support growth.
