Dr. Sandip Gupta

Is video mein cover kiya gaya hai: Brain development ke liye iron kyun zaroori hai Research mein dikha hai ki chhoti umar mein agar iron ki kami rahe to bache ki yaadasht (memory power) weak hoti hai, brain development sahi se nahi hota, aage chal kar padhai mein dikkat hoti hai, aur behaviour mein bhi alag-alag problems dikhte hain. Iron deficiency se iron deficiency anemia (khoon ki kami) bhi hoti hai. India mein lagbhag 32% bachon mein iron deficiency dekhi jaati hai — matlab har teen mein se ek bache mein iron ki kami hai. Iron deficiency ke lakshan Bhookh kam ho jaana — bacha khaana dekh kar bhagne lagta hai ya khana nahi chahta. Pica — non-food cheezein khaana, jaise kaagaz, deewar ka paint, chalk, barf ya mitti. Bacha sust rehne lagta hai, khelne mein interest nahi dikhata. Baar-baar beemari lagna, kyunki iron ki kami se khoon kam banta hai aur immunity weak ho jaati hai. Chidchida rehna, jiddi behave karna, aur kabhi-kabhi breath-holding spells (rote-rote saans rok lena). Agar bahut zyada iron deficiency ho aur khoon ki kami ho, to bache ka rang feeka, safed dikhne lagta hai. Agar ye sab lakshan dikh rahe hain to doctor se milein, iron test karayein aur sahi treatment lein. Iron-rich foods (bina extra kharche ke, ghar ke khane se) — paanch groups mein: Non-veg (sabse acche se absorb hone wala "heme iron"): anda, chicken, meat. Green vegetables: palak, broccoli, dhaniya ya pudina ka patta, chaulai ka saag, methi ka saag, sahjan patta. Dals: soybean dal (agar soybean pachna mushkil ho to tofu ya soybean chunks), masoor dal, moong dal, chane ki dal, rajma, hara matar. Dry fruits: kishmish, prunes (sukha hua aloo bukhara), khajoor, anjeer, apricot. Anaaj: ragi, quinoa, whole wheat atta, oats. Nuts aur seeds: sunflower seeds, til ke daane, kaju ya badam — 5 saal se chhote bachon ko ye sirf powder ya paste form mein dein, kabhi bhi whole form mein nahi; flax seed ka powder bhi shamil kar sakte hain. Common galtiyan jinse iron deficiency hoti hai Zyada gaay ka doodh dena — 1 se 5 saal ke bachon ko sirf lagbhag 500 ml doodh chahiye; usse zyada dene par high calcium ki wajah se iron absorption kam ho jaata hai, aur pet bhar jaane se bacha iron-rich khaana kam khaata hai. Ye India mein bachon mein iron deficiency ka sabse bada kaaran hai. Chhote bachon ko chai pilana — chai mein tannin hota hai jo iron absorption kam karta hai, aur chai khud bhookh bhi kam kar deti hai. Bachon ko kabhi chai na dein. Dal ya anaaj ko pakane se pehle paani mein soak na karna — inme phytate jaise iron inhibitors hote hain jo iron absorption kam karte hain. Sahi samay par deworming medicine na dena — India mein guideline hai ki 1 saal se 18 saal tak har 6 mahine mein deworming dein: 1–2 saal ke liye 200 mg, 2–18 saal ke liye 400 mg, government program mein free milta hai. Iron aur folate syrup/tablet bhi government program mein free milti hai. 6 mahine ke baad iron-rich food ya iron supplementation na dena — newborn bacha maa se milne wale iron stores ke saath janm leta hai. Term baby (37 hafte ke baad janme) ko 6 mahine ke baad se iron supplementation shuru karni chahiye; preterm babies ko 1 mahine ki umar se hi shuru karni hoti hai, kyunki unhe maa se poora iron store nahi milta. 6 mahine se 1 saal ke beech roz lagbhag 11 mg iron chahiye — kaafi high requirement, kyunki is samay brain aur body dono tezi se develop ho rahe hote hain. Shehron mein rehne wale bache ya jo bahut junk food khate hain aur fresh fruits-vegetables kam khate hain, unme bhi risk zyada hota hai. Bonus tip: iron-rich food ke saath vitamin C dein Iron-rich food ke saath vitamin C-rich food dene se iron absorption double ho jaati hai — dal mein thoda neembu nichod dein, ya iron-rich foods ke saath orange, mosambi, papita ya aam mila kar dein. Iron supplement se hone wali constipation aur side effects manage karna Iron ki drop ya syrup ko orange, mosambi ya papite ke juice mein mila kar dein — isse daant ka stain nahi padta, bura taste feel nahi hota, aur juice mein vitamin C hone se iron absorption bhi badh jaati hai. Agar constipation ho raha hai to iron drop/syrup roz na de kar hafte mein do baar dein, aur regularly prunes khilana shuru karein — inme natural sugars hote hain jinka laxative effect motion ko soft karta hai. Bache ko thoda extra paani bhi dein. Iron supplement lete waqt bache ki potty black ho jaana normal hai, isse darne ki zaroorat nahi — ye iron ke colour ki wajah se hota hai. General supplementation dose (jab koi diagnosed deficiency nahi hai, sirf supplement kar rahe hain) lagbhag 1 mg per kg hoti hai — jaise 10 kg ke bache ko 10 mg. Hamesha apne doctor se exact formulation aur dose likhwayein, kyunki alag-alag iron preparations ki strength per ml alag hoti hai (10 mg, 5 mg, 6 mg per ml, waghera), aur excess iron bhi bache ke liye nuksaandeh ho sakta hai. 7 iron-rich recipes (hafte ke ek-ek din ke liye) Ragi beetroot puree (dates ke saath) Oats moong dal ki khichdi (neembu ka rasa ya dahi mila kar) Palak masoor dal ki khichdi Broccoli aur moong dal ka puree Sweet potato aur masoor dal ka puree Oats aur prunes ka puree (constipation mein bhi madad karta hai) Sooji ke saath kishmish ya dates ka puree Sabhi recipes ka document comment mein "Iron" likhne par bhej diya jaata hai.
