Healthy Bodies, Free Minds Poem by Rajendra Prasad Meena Jaipur India

Indian children strong and bright,
Known for courage, truth, and light.
But strength is not from words we say,
It comes from food we eat each day.

Nature gives us fruits and grain,
Milk and water, sun and rain.
But when chemicals enter our plate,
Our health becomes weak and late.

Nutrients help our bodies grow,
They make us strong from head to toe.
Vitamins, proteins, minerals too,
Each one has an important role to do.

Vitamin A helps us see,
Bright clear eyes for you and me.
Carrots, mangoes, greens so fair,
Keep our vision strong with care.

Vitamin B gives power and pace,
Helps tired bodies win the race.
Grains and pulses, milk and bread,
Keep our nerves and minds well-fed.

Vitamin C fights germs away,
Keeps cough and cold from here to stay.
Lemons, oranges, fruits so neat,
Make our immune system strong and sweet.

Vitamin D builds bones so strong,
Sunlight helps it all day long.
Milk and eggs and morning sun,
Keep us active, help us run.

Protein builds muscle and might,
Gives our bodies growing light.
Beans and lentils, eggs and soy,
Help each girl and growing boy.

Carbohydrates give us energy,
To work and play happily.
Rice and roti, potatoes too,
In right amounts, they're good for you.

Minerals like iron make blood,
Help us feel active, strong, and good.
Green leafy vegetables every day,
Keep weakness and anemia away.

Some diseases spread from touch and air,
Coughs and fevers come unaware.
Clean hands, safe water, habits right,
Help us win the healthful fight.

Some diseases come from animals too,
From bites, or food we wrongly chew.
Vaccines and care can save each life,
Clean surroundings end the strife.

Some illnesses are passed by birth,
They come with genes from start on Earth.
Checkups, care, and early test,
Help each child to live their best.

Some diseases have medicine and cure,
Doctors help us feel secure.
Some need care, good food, and rest,
Healthy living works the best.

Exercise, sleep, and food so clean,
Build a body fresh and keen.
Truth and health walk hand in hand,
Like Gandhi taught across the land.

Healthy children, nation strong,
This is where we all belong.
Learn this lesson, simple and true,
A better world begins with you.
