Supermarkets are a favorite place for children to go, with a variety of goods and food, a variety of sweets and snacks, always make children full of expectations and linger.
Nowadays, every family life has become better, and the demand for children's snacks will be relatively relaxed, as long as it is the favorite snack of the baby at home, parents will easily buy it back.
A variety of cakes, potato chips, and candy snacks satisfy the biggest appetite of children.
However, although snacks are delicious, they are not necessarily healthy, especially for these children who are growing and developing, unhealthy snacks must not be eaten more, otherwise it will have a great impact on growth and development.
When choosing snacks, parents should look at the following snacks with these words, and try to avoid giving them to their children:
First, there is the word "willow" in snacks
Foods such as chicken fillet, in order to cater to the taste of children, these foods such as chicken fillet and fish fillet are mostly pickled and then fried, so that the taste is more delicious, and the children can't stop eating.
But such snacks are not healthy, first of all, the pickled food itself has added a lot of additives and preservatives, which greatly reduces the freshness of the food, and then after frying, more fat is absorbed by the food.
Children eat too much fried food during the growth and development stage will affect the normal development of the body, precocious puberty, obesity, brain development delay, etc. are all harmful phenomena that may occur.
Second, there is the word "pie" in snacks
Egg yolk pie, chocolate pie, or pineapple pie, these snacks sound very tempting, the appearance is also colorful, and it is even more sweet to eat. Children will love such sweets.
But this kind of snack has many drawbacks, sugar is too high, children eat too much, will make the undeveloped tracheal system suffer from a strong sweetness collision, resulting in respiratory diseases, sugar will also lead to children fat hoarding, become fat, the brain will become stupid by sugar.
Although these pies make the taste of the children's mouths sweet, they will make the children's bodies suffer more. Your child should minimize exposure to artificial sugars and pigments during growth and development.
Third, snacks with the word "crisp"
Peanut crisp, butterfly crisp, such food is also very popular in supermarkets and snack shops, crispy taste, melt in the mouth, people can't help but eat a few more bites.
Even if such foods don't have too many additives, in order to pursue this crispy feeling, merchants will add more butter to make the puff pastry. Butter is equivalent to grease, and it is difficult for children to completely consume it when they eat it into the body.
Over time, it will make the body fat, once the body is fat, too much fat, it will restrict the growth of height, the body development becomes slow, and various bodily functions will also be affected.
So much butter and sugar, the children's teeth are also a great harm, if there is no good protection of teeth, there will be tooth decay, to know that children's teeth must be protected from an early age.
As parents, the health and growth of children is what we should care about most.
How to balance the relationship between snacking and health in children?
1, control the amount of snacks for children, every day the child is required to eat snacks should not exceed a certain amount, so that the intake of sugar and fat can be controlled to a large extent.
2, when buying snacks for children, we should pay attention to the composition of food, and try to choose some low-salt and low-fat snacks, such as pure yogurt and nori.
Or whole wheat biscuits such as more suitable for children as snacks, natural ingredients, there are also relatively good nutrients, which is a positive effect on children's physical development, you can choose relatively more.
Food safety plays a key role in the growth of children, parents are the first supervisor, in this regard, we must pay more attention, more control, do not let snacks bury the child's health.
