However, if the condition persists to become chronic, then one should seek a doctor’s advice to understand the root cause
Parents often face difficulties when it comes to their child’s nutrition and health. And with the pandemic restricting children’s physical activity, many tend to experience digestive issues like constipation. However, a few tweaks on a daily basis can help. Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Dixa Bhavsar mentioned how constipation in children is a common issue these days.
“Never thought this could be one of the most common ailment among kids, but can we blame them? Well, it’s not their fault. Its our current lifestyle that has made the kids love their indoor games and screens more than getting dirty in mud and playing in nature. On top of that, lockdown has imposed more restrictions to the outdoor games. And because of that I see mothers are always worried about their kid’s over all health these days (especially the bowel movements),” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Here’s why constipation is becoming predominant in children:
*Less movement/less playing/more sitting
*Less water intake
*Eating more junk
*Eating late at night
*Sleeping late
*Eating at irregular times
*Having disturbed sleep
*Having poor gut health
*Not having enough fluids in their diet
She recommended a few home remedies that could help.
*Start giving them one glass of warm water every morning.
However, if the condition persists to become chronic, then one should seek a doctor’s advice to understand the root cause.
