We celebrate International Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in the month of May. Our moms are our first teachers and first nurses. They have cleaned every wound, iced every fever, and patiently taught us our ABCD. Now that we’re grown up, it’s time to reverse the roles. #ABHIKaro.

The ABCD of mom’s health

Lifestyle conditions become more prevalent as we get older. Our mothers, who have spent their whole lives caring for others, gradually become more prone to the ABCD of lifestyle conditions. As a result, it’s essential to keep track of your mother’s health.

These include:

A – Asthma
B – Blood pressure
C – Cholesterol
D – Diabetes

When caring for our parents, these are the conditions we need to look out for and make sure that they are kept under control.

Tips to make Mother’s Day memorable for your mom

Here are a few ways you can ensure that your mother keeps in the best of health:

Make her a healthy meal

Even though Mother’s Day comes only once yearly, surely everyone becomes excited to shower their mother with love, gifts, and delicious food for a change. While our mothers always make our favorite food, it’s time to make her a healthy, yummy meal for a change. You can make these yummy foods on Mother’s Day as a perfect gift to your mom:

Cucumber Sandwich: This recipe has a cream and cheese yogurt mixed item that goes very well with crispy cucumbers. The whole-grain bread and the hearty flavor hold the sandwich together. Consider getting rid of the bread crusts to make it tastier. This healthy and delicious sandwich can be an excellent gift for your mom’s health this Mother’s Day!
Aam Ki Kheer: Another healthy recipe that you can make your mother is Aam Kheer. It is usually consumed during the summer season. Make sure to use sweet and aromatic mangoes, as sour mangos can make the taste of the kheer turn sour. Serve this with rice to make a hearty meal on Mother’s Day.

Ensure your mother adheres to any dietary requirements she might have, like low salt or no sugar, but also make sure that she gets enough proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.

Spend time with her

Spend time with your mom on a stroll. Choose a scenic location such as a nearby park, garden, or waterfront where you can walk and talk. Enjoy nature while engaging in meaningful conversations, reminiscing about cherished memories, and expressing gratitude for her love and support.

Make her reconnect with old friends

In this modernity, there is no excuse for your mother not to be in touch with old friends and family worldwide. Help her set up Skype or show her how to make video calls on WhatsApp so she can talk to your siblings who live in different cities or even her siblings, cousins, and friends.

Help mom get regular medical checkups

If your mom is generally in good health, then a medical checkup once a year should be okay. However, if she suffers from some medical conditions, make sure that she sees her doctor as and when required and takes all her medication as prescribed.
