A. To support healthy height and weight gain in a 2.5-year-old child, it's essential to provide a balanced and nutritious diet. Here are some Indian foods that can contribute to their overall growth: 1. **Milk and Dairy Products:** - Milk is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, crucial for bone development. Include dairy products like yogurt and cheese in the child's diet. 2. **Eggs:** - Eggs are a good source of protein, essential for muscle development. They also provide vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron. 3. **Whole Grains:** - Include whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oats. These provide fiber, energy, and a range of nutrients. 4. **Protein-Rich Foods:** - Include protein-rich foods such as lentils (dal), chickpeas (chana), and beans. These contribute to muscle development. 5. **Fruits and Vegetables:** - Provide a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Examples include bananas, mangoes, spinach, and carrots. 6. **Nuts and Seeds:** - Almonds, walnuts, and seeds like chia or flaxseeds are packed with nutrients, including healthy fats and essential minerals. 7. **Fish:** - If the child eats non-vegetarian food, fatty fish like salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for brain development. 8. **Vegetable Oils:** - Cook with healthy oils like olive oil or mustard oil. These provide essential fatty acids that support overall growth. 9. **Homemade Snacks:** - Prepare healthy homemade snacks like poha, upma, or idli using a variety of ingredients to ensure a balance of nutrients. 10. **Dried Fruits:** - Include dried fruits like raisins, apricots, and dates in moderation. They provide energy and essential nutrients. 11. **Homemade Sweets:** - Prepare homemade sweets using ingredients like jaggery, ghee, and whole grains. These can be nutritious and tasty. 12. **Hydration:** - Ensure the child stays well-hydrated with water, and you can also include fresh fruit juices (in moderation). Always be mindful of portion sizes and the child's individual preferences. Additionally, consult with a pediatrician or a nutritionist for personalized advice based on the child's specific needs, growth patterns, and any dietary restrictions or health considerations. Regular check-ups with healthcare professionals help monitor the child's growth and development.
