New Delhi, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : The Ayush Ministry has initiated a special campaign on the social media platform X, focusing on promoting healthy habits for children. Under the banner of ‘Ayush for Kids,’ the ministry emphasizes that a healthy childhood is built not on grand gestures, but through small, everyday practices.
Two images shared by the ministry highlight essential healthy habits for children. They state, “A healthy childhood is formed by the little things that children learn and enjoy every day! Nutritious food, healthy habits, sports activities, and time spent outdoors are all integral to the growing-up process.”
The ministry elaborates on how various traditional practices, including Ayurveda, Siddha, Homeopathy, and Unani, contribute to different aspects of child care. It also emphasizes that yoga and natural medicine focus on the health and well-being of children. The campaign encourages creating spaces for healthy habits, active play, and enjoyable learning during childhood.
According to the Ayush Ministry, nutritious food, healthy habits, sports-related activities, and outdoor time are crucial for children’s development. The ministry has explained child care through the lenses of Ayurveda, Siddha, Homeopathy, Unani, Sowa-Rigpa, yoga, and natural medicine.
In Ayurveda, child care begins with breastfeeding, followed by supplementary feeding and balanced nutrition according to age. The ministry stresses that providing the right diet at the right age lays a strong foundation for children.
The Siddha approach considers a child’s health from the early stages of pregnancy through to infancy, indicating that care starts even before birth.
Homeopathy focuses on teething and the management of primary dentition, highlighting the need for awareness regarding the discomforts children may experience during this phase.
The ministry notes that the Unani system covers various aspects of child care, while Sowa-Rigpa, yoga, and natural medicine promote active play, balanced routines, and joyful learning habits.
The Ayush Ministry urges parents to foster environments that encourage healthy habits, active play, and enjoyable learning, ensuring a happy and healthy childhood for their children.
