IMPORTANCE OF WHOLE GRAINS CEREALS

MAIZE

Maize is the most important cereal in the world after wheat and rice. it is, unique among cereals. The grains are borne in separate inflorescence, which are completely enclosed as modified leaf sheaths or husks, so that it is incapable of dispersing its sheets. the corn is at its best when it is well filled but yet soft and tender. The tender maize is chiefly liked for its high sugar content. It has more sugar than any other corn. So the maize is called sweet corn.

 NATURAL BENEFITS AND CURATIVE PROPERTIES

   The bread made from the maize flour is nutritious and palatable. it  can be digested without difficulty. Taken at intervals, this bread helps to keep the colon clean. The dextrose produced from maize is used extensively in medicine.

 CONSTIPATION

Popcorn, made  by heating the small grains, is a wholesome cereal food and is easily digested. It has everything in the original grains of corn content. It is not fattening and practically starch free as in the process of popping, its starch is converted into dextrine and intermediate carbohydrates, a digestion product, which is easily assimilable. it is laxative and provides bulk to faeces. It also promotes peristalsis i.e. wave like movement by its tendency to absorb moisture. It is therefore, valuable food in constipation.

INTRODUCING SOLID FOODS TO YOUR CHILD

You can introduce solids any time between 4-6 months if your baby is ready. Normally your child's digestive system is ready for solids when the child nears his or her half birthday.

THINGS TO OBSERVE

• Head Control-your baby needs to be able to keep his head steady, upright position.
• Sitting well when supported your child needs to be able to sit upright to swallow well.
• Moving food in the mouth-to start solids your child should be able to move food to the back of his or her mouth and swallow.
• Significant weight gain-most babies are ready to eat solids when they have doubled their birth weight and are at least 4 months old.
• Growing appetite-your child will seem hungry even with eight-ten breast feedings.

• Curiosity about what you are eating-at around 6 months old your baby may begin eyeing your bowl or trying to grab food as it travels from your plate to your mouth.
