Dr Anand Pandit is a leading Pediatrician in Pune. He suggests dry fruits to boost immunity.
The common dry fruits that are available are almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashew nuts, pistachios and chestnuts. The children tend to enjoy the nuts while keeping them healthy as the nuts are rich in proteins, mono saturated fatty acids and important nutrients.
They are especially good to reduce the hyperactive hormones of the hyperactive children. The dry fruits also help reduce heart diseases.
Omega 3 and fatty acids present in the nuts are useful in modifying neuro transmitters which are necessary for the development of the brain.
For those with a tight budget can switch to peanuts for proteins. Almonds are also a good source of Vitamin E, B1, B2, B3 apart from proteins and mono saturated fats. Cashewnuts contains Selenium which helps boost the immunity.
