This kind happens to be the child's favorite food, and it captures the child's stomach with sweetness. Ice cream, cakes, desserts, milk tea, drinks, and candy are all your children's favorite snacks.

"White list" of snacks for kids
While many snacks aren't suitable for kids, they're not absolute. Some healthy nutrition, no additives, no heavy metal elements, less sugar, less salt snacks, appropriate for children to eat some is a certain benefit!

For example, the following snacks are more suitable for children.
Fruits and vegetables:

03
Three principles for snacking your child
While giving your child snacks, you also need to adhere to three principles:
Snacks can not replace the meal: the source of nutrition required for the child's growth is mainly dependent on the meal, snacks only play an auxiliary role, can not replace the meal.
Do not give your child snacks before going to bed: Snacks given to your child before bedtime will increase the burden on your child's stomach and stomach and affect the quality of your child's sleep. In addition, eating snacks and sleeping at night will also make children prone to tooth decay.
Eat snacks should pay attention to hygiene and safety: In addition to the hygiene and safety of the snack itself, children also need to pay attention to hygiene when eating snacks, and wash their hands before eating.
How do parents do it?
1. Eat regularly and quantitatively.
Parents correctly guide the child's eating habits, control pocket money, can not because of coddling, the child wants to eat what to buy, control the child's fat and fat intake, inhibit the child's desire for sweets, encourage the child to eat more healthy green vegetables, as well as fresh fruits.
Give the child what to eat at each meal to be accurate, nutritionally balanced, and the amount of food is reasonable, not to eat as a result, but to eat and eat health is the meaning.
2. Strengthen your workouts.
Parents must instill the concept of exercise in their children from an early age. Life lies in sports, most of the children will sit and play mobile phones after eating, rather than going to the playground to exercise and play ball, the exercise time is greatly shortened, and fat accumulation will be formed.
Parents must take their children to do more exercise, take a walk after dinner every day, and go hiking on weekends are all good ways to exercise.
3. Do not nourish nutrients.
Many parents feel that their children are still young, and eating health products and nutritional products can help their children develop.
Then now a lot of nutrients contain hormones, eat more but excess nutrition, daily meals have met the needs of the child's body nutrients.
Children's diets cannot be ignored
Eat less snacks
Eat more healthy vegetables and fruits
I hope everyone can eat healthy
Have a good body
