Want to boost your child's gut health? Pediatrician shares 6 simple food swaps
A child needs proper nutrition in the early years for healthy development, and it starts with the right kind of diet. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Ravi Malik, pediatrician, MAMC, founder and medical director, Malik Radix Healthcare said, "A healthy gut does more than aid digestion, It supports immunity, brain development, and even emotional well-being. The secret? Feeding the good bacteria that live in your child's gut. And it doesn't require a complete diet overhaul; just a few mindful swaps can make a big difference.'

Swap sugary cereals for fibre-rich breakfasts Most breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar and offer little nutritional value. Instead, opt for high-fibre choices like dry oats, millet porridge, or whole grain toast. Fibre acts as food for good gut bacteria, helping them thrive while keeping digestion smooth and reducing long-term risks like constipation and even chronic diseases. 2. Swap ice creams and sweets for yoghurt with fruits Instead of sugar-heavy desserts, try plain yoghurt topped with fruits. Yoghurt is rich in probiotics, the good bacteria that support gut health. You can also blend curd with fruits into smoothies or mix in chopped vegetables for a savoury twist. Just be sure to skip added sugars. 3. Swap fried snacks for roasted chickpeas and nuts Chips and fried items offer empty calories and harm gut balance. Try giving roasted makhana, peanuts, or chickpeas instead. These snacks are high in protein, contain fibre, and help support a healthy microbe. Also read | Is your child's diet putting their heart at risk? Essential guide for parents Pay attention to your child's gut health.(Shutterstock) 4. Swap sugary drinks for natural fluids Packaged juices and sodas often contain added sugar and preservatives that disrupt gut flora. Replace them with coconut water, unsweetened lassi, fruit-infused water, or buttermilk. These drinks hydrate and, in the case of fermented ones, add beneficial bacteria to the gut. 5. Avoid harmful white foods Cut down on white bread, maida (refined flour), white rice, sugary biscuits, table salt, and extra sugar. Replace them with multigrain breads, whole rice, and flours like ragi, bajra, jowar, or suji. Whole grains are rich in fibre and help nourish gut microbes. 6. Add fermented foods and high-fibre fruits Add fermented foods like idli, dosa, and kimchi to meals. Encourage high-fibre fruits like apples, papaya, guava, and pears. Garlic and onions also support gut health. And limit junk food and antibiotics, which can disrupt your child's gut flora.

Delhi CM orders immediate renovation of hostel at MAMC, speedy construction of new facilities for students, doctors
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday ordered an immediate renovation of the hostel at Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) and the speedy construction of new facilities to accommodate doctors and students. This comes after L-G VK Saxena and the Chief Minister last Thursday directed the Public Works Department (PWD) to immediately prepare a comprehensive plan to accommodate at least 4,000 students and doctors after observing that a hostel meant for 1,200 students has 3,200 students living at the hostel. On Monday, Gupta held discussions on hostel renovation, campus safety, lighting, encroachment, and student welfare issues. CM ordered for LED street lighting to be installed across the campus, with 24×7 CCTV surveillance and heightened security presence. She said that a special drive will be launched to remove illegal encroachments within the college campus. During the meeting, students highlighted the poor condition of hostel walls and ceilings, which pose a risk to life and safety. The lack of adequate lighting during night hours also gives a sense of insecurity on the campus, they said. Female students raised concerns over the shortage of security guards, insufficient facilities, and an unsafe environment. Encroachments within the campus were also reported as a daily obstacle for students. Gupta stated that the seven hostels built between 1966 and 1990 were designed for only 1,200 students, while around 3,200 students are currently residing there in extremely cramped and substandard conditions with eight beds to a room, shared cupboards, and no provision for basic amenities like study tables. The Chief Minister directed officials to submit progress reports every 15 days to ensure regular monitoring and accountability. She also accused the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of negligence. 'I am shocked at the irresponsibility of the previous educated governments. It's appalling to see the poor state of such a prestigious institution like Maulana Azad Medical College and the condition of the students studying here,' she said.
