Spring is the season of revival and is always full of hope. For bao moms, the health of their children is their greatest pursuit. So when spring comes, I will start to give my children a variety of supplements, hoping to seize the golden three months, and then harvest health at the same time, but also harvest height.
When it comes to nutrition, the first thing that comes to mind is "fruit". Indeed, different fruits contain different nutrients, especially the content of vitamins and minerals, which exceeds many foods. Especially when the weather warms up, parents do not have to worry about the problem of cold fruits, which can make children enjoy it.
In the cognition of parents: eating more fruits can supplement a variety of vitamins, thereby improving the physical fitness of children. But parents do not know, everything is too late, no matter how good the fruit is, there are also its shortcomings. In any case, parents should not rely too much on fruits, especially young children, and pay more attention.
Do moms know these misunderstandings about fruits?
Myth 1: Fruits are more nutritious than vegetables
Children prefer fruits to vegetables. As a result, many mothers have let them do this, and since their children do not like to eat vegetables, they should eat more fruits. Suffice it to say that Bao Ma's idea is a bit one-sided: vegetables and fruits are two different concepts, and each has its own advantages.
To be clear: fruits are rich in many nutrients, and so are vegetables, so they are not differentiated, and no one is better than anyone else.
Myth 2: It is better to eat fruit after meals
Worried that after eating fruit, it is the appetite that affects the child, so many mothers "make good claims" and put the fruit after meals. From a health point of view, in fact, this practice is not good, and even affects the health of children. Sadly, many mothers are doing this, and even a little proud.
Almost all fruits contain monosaccharide substances and are high in content. For children's delicate stomachs, they cannot adapt to these ingredients, which can easily harm the health of the stomach and intestines.
Myth three: Fruits can be eaten casually
I think the fruit is nutritious, so I let my children eat it without restriction, as long as they like it. Just to say that eating too much fruit is not necessarily a good thing, especially fruits with too much sugar content. In less than a month, the child's weight will change qualitatively, and the naked eye will be visible to gain weight.
The nutrients in the fruit enter the body, and if they cannot be absorbed and metabolized in time, they will also become a burden and stay in the body.
Myth 4: The more expensive the fruit, the better
As the old saying goes: you get what you pay for. So Bao Mom felt that as long as the expensive fruit, as long as it was not seen, the nutrition was richer. After all, usually buy clothes, or buy daily necessities, expensive things, the quality is always better.
But in fact, the price of fruit has nothing to do with its nutritional value. The reason for determining the price of a fruit depends on its variety, as well as its origin, and even the mode of transportation, packaging and so on.
I believe that many mothers have made these mistakes, but fortunately, they know that they are lost and return, and everything is in time.
If you want to eat fruit healthily and achieve the desired purpose, these tips should be put away
1, eat the fruit time to be right
For children, fruit can not be used as a meal, which can easily affect and destroy their eating habits. The best way is to put the fruit between meals, which can absorb more nutrients without worrying about destroying the dietary rules, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
After the lunch break, the fruit can also be used as a meal to replenish the child's energy. In the following time, parents will find their child's experience full of energy and particularly energetic.
2, fruits can not replace vegetables
At no time should fruits be used instead of vegetables, as well as other foods. Know that vegetables and fruits have different tastes, calories and nutrients. In contrast, the taste of fruits is sweet, and if you eat too much every day, it will affect your physical development.
The combination of vegetables and fruits is the best way to obtain nutrition. It can be said that fruits and vegetables are the most perfect match, and the nutrients in the two complement each other and are indispensable.
3, fruit to control the amount
No matter how good things are, they must control the amount of food eaten, especially foods such as fruits. From now on, Bao Mama must prepare diversified fruits, and control the amount every day, an orange, a small river, half a peach... There are no hard and fast requirements, and according to the child's hobbies, you can mix and match at will.
Another point: if you let your child eat only one fruit for a long time, it will cause visual and taste fatigue. Imagine who wants to eat the same thing every day, which is bound to become a nightmare that children do not want to remember.
Written at the end: I can't imagine that nutritious fruits are hidden behind so much knowledge. I hope that more mothers can give priority to their children's health problems and then feed fruits in a targeted manner. For children who are young, they can squeeze water juice or make fruit puree for them to eat.
