Breast feeding and oil massaging are a great source of nutrition and strength for kids, and it has been a tradition since time immemorial. But do we really get to see this these days? How can we! The dependency on products available in the market that claim to be nutrient-rich and effective in muscle strengthening and skin rejuvenation has grown manifold over the years, and most of the buyers do not seem to understand the long-term impact of these products on their children’s health despite the media reports saying that ‘cancer-causing chemicals’ or ‘chemicals of high concern’ have been found in some children’s products.
Moreover, the children having untrammelled access to junk food coupled with the increased sedentary activities like using smart phones and computers have given rise to many lifestyle diseases like obesity and eye disorders.
