Chinese medicine
Fruit recommendations for babies
Chinese medicine has fundamental believes that fruits are beneficial for baby's health. Below a number of options.
Apples
Apple is a very nutritious fruit, whether eaten fresh or after processing. Chinese traditional medical theory suggests that apple juice can be used to relieve indigestion in babies.
Pomegranates
Pomegranates are sweet in taste with hints of sour and bitter notes. They are effective against intestinal worms and can help to alleviate dysenteric diarrhea. Vitamin C levels are 1 or 2 times higher than that of apples or pears.
Grapes
With a sweet and sour taste, grapes can help relieve thirst and increase appetite. Besides their high levels of grape acid and fructose, they also contain amino acids, citric acid, vitamin C, carotene, riboflavin, calcium and iron etc, which are all important substances for a baby's development.
Mango
The mango has a thirst-quenching and diuretic effect. It has an attractive colour and aroma and also tastes good. With micronutrients such as vitamins and sugar, it is a perfect fruit for a baby, but be careful to choose only fully ripened fruit.
