Grow With Gurfateh – Healthy Kids, Strong Future

Digestive problems are becoming very common in children today. Many kids do not feel hungry on time, eat very little food, or suffer from bloating, constipation, and poor nutrient absorption. One major reason is unhealthy eating habits, lack of fiber, and too much processed food like biscuits and chips.

Good digestion is the foundation of a child’s growth, immunity, and energy. When digestion improves, children naturally feel hungry, absorb nutrients better, and grow healthier. Below are safe, natural, and effective ways to improve digestion in kids.

Why Many Kids Have Digestion Problems

Irregular eating habits

Too much packaged food (biscuits, chips, sugary snacks)

Low fiber intake

Weak digestive fire

Poor absorption of nutrients

Digestion is not just about eating food — it is about how well the body absorbs it.

Fennel & carom seeds water with clarified butter for natural digestion support in kids.

1. Fennel Seeds (Saunf) Water for Gentle Digestion

Fennel seeds are well known for improving digestion naturally and safely, even for children.

Take ½ teaspoon fennel seeds

Boil in one cup of water

Let it cool and strain

Give to the child once a day

Benefits:

Reduces gas and bloating

Improves appetite

Helps smooth digestion

Gentle and safe for kids

Fennel water helps activate digestive enzymes and relaxes the stomach muscles.

2. Fennel + Ajwain (Carom Seeds) for Stronger Digestion

For kids with frequent digestion issues, fennel seeds can be combined with ajwain in very small amounts.

How to Use:

Mix a pinch of fennel seeds + a pinch of ajwain

Boil in water OR

Mix a very small quantity in warm milk

Give once a day only

Benefits:

Improves food breakdown

Reduces acidity and stomach pain

Helps children feel hungry naturally

Ajwain should always be used in small amounts for kids.

3. Clarified Butter  (Desi Ghee:) Key to Nutrient Absorption

Many parents avoid fats, but healthy fats are essential for children.

Desi ghee plays a very important role in digestion and absorption.

Why Desi Ghee Is Important:

Helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)

Improves gut lining

Supports healthy bowel movement

Increases energy and immunity

Adding ½–1 teaspoon desi ghee to food daily helps children absorb nutrients properly.

Desi Ghee and Vitamin D Absorption

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in kids today. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, which means the body needs healthy fat to absorb it.

How Desi Ghee Helps:

Improves absorption of Vitamin D from food and sunlight

Supports bone growth and strength

Helps calcium absorption

Improves immunity and digestion

When digestion improves, vitamin and mineral absorption automatically becomes better.

4. Stop Biscuits & Chips for Better Digestion

Most biscuits and chips:

Have no fiber

Contain refined flour (maida)

Slow down digestion

Reduce natural hunger

These foods fill the stomach temporarily but do not nourish the body.

Better Alternatives:

Fruits

Roasted chana

Homemade snacks

Whole-grain foods

Reducing processed snacks improves digestion within weeks.

Final Advice for Parents

A child with good digestion:

Feels hungry naturally

Eats better

Grows stronger

Has better immunity

Small daily habits like fennel water, a little ajwain, desi ghee, and less junk food can bring big positive changes.
