The cold winter is the season when babies get sick. Young children's body temperature regulation ability is not as good as that of adults, and if they are not careful, they may catch a cold. Parents can start with a daily diet to help their baby improve their cold resistance and physical resistance.
Healthy Eating Pyramid
First, the three principles of winter diet
1. Supplement more vitamins
Babies have relatively little outdoor activity in winter, and the time to receive outdoor sun exposure is also short, and they are prone to vitamin D deficiency. Parents are advised to supplement their baby with vitamin D regularly, 2 to 3 times a week.
2. Reasonable intake of protein
In cold climates, the body's endocrine system is also mobilized, increasing the body's thermogenesis capacity.
Therefore, the energy we need in winter is not much different from other seasons, and there is no need to increase the amount of food for the baby to get more energy.
3. Don't ignore inorganic salts
If the lack of inorganic salt in the body is easy to produce a feeling of cold, to help the baby resist the cold, it is recommended that parents let him ingest more vegetables containing rhizomes in winter.
Such as carrots, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, lotus and greens, Chinese cabbage, etc., the rhizomes of these vegetables contain more inorganic salts.
2. Winter cold dietary arrangements
1. High-fiber foods
Dietary fiber can regulate the absorption and excretion of the human body, keep the stool unobstructed, which is very beneficial for the elimination of toxins in the body; in addition, dietary fiber also has a weight control effect.
2. Eat dry food
The winter climate is dry, and eating more moist foods is good for children's health.
Radish has a strong function of qi, but also cough and phlegm, throat clearing, gassing appetizer, dry and fresh, cool and detoxification.
Third, winter diet and nutrition
1. Staple food with coarse grains
Although meat can provide calories to the baby, remember that the baby's diet should be nutritionally balanced, and staple foods can be mixed with coarse grains, such as some different coarse grains in the daily rice of the kindergarten.
2, try not to supplement
Can not arbitrarily give the baby supplements, otherwise it is easy to cause the child to eat too many supplements too much, the dose is too large, the body can not absorb, or inconsistent with the child's physical condition, but will cause a variety of adverse consequences.
3. Pay attention to calorie intake
Like adults, in the winter, the baby's appetite will also rise, parents should pay attention not to let them take in too many calories, do not let the baby due to excessive calorie intake and obesity.
4. Mainly hot food
Winter food should be mainly hot food, such as pot vegetables, stews, stews or soups. It is not advisable to give the baby more raw and cold food, raw and cold food is not easy to digest, it is easy to hurt the baby's young spleen and stomach, and children with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are especially concerned.
Finally, the kindergarten reminds parents to be sure to hold the "entrance gate", pay attention to dietary hygiene, do not give children raw and cold food, and regularly boil and disinfect toys and utensils!
