After becoming a mother, I pay special attention to what my children eat and drink.
Our generation of parents pays special attention to making their children eat healthy.
From an early age, a variety of nutritional combinations, consider the child's diet should be diverse, nutrition should be balanced.
Coke, fried chicken, these unhealthy diets, will naturally make children restrained, will not let children eat more.
Instead, some bad feeding habits that we are not aware of, repeated day after day, are more likely to bring harm to children.
For example, the following 5 types:
Give your child too salty
It can easily lead to problems such as high blood pressure
It is easy for us adults to eat salty when we eat, and it is easy for a family's eating habits to bring children into it.
Eat a little here, eat a little there, eat more as you eat.
However, if the child eats too salty, the harm to the child is still very large:
1, too much salt, the baby's kidneys "can't stand"
The baby's kidney development is not yet sound, not enough to penetrate too much salt, too much salt invasion is the first to bear the brunt of the baby's kidneys, adding a burden to the kidneys will also increase the burden on the heart, so that the baby's kidneys and heart functions are damaged.
2. Increase the risk of future hypertension
The baby's kidneys are not yet well developed, and if too much salt is added to the food, the sodium that cannot be excreted by itself will remain in the body fluids, which will increase the risk of the child's future high blood pressure.
How much salt should my baby consume per day?
1) The correct amount of salt intake for your baby
According to the 2016 Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, preschoolers consume salt per day
1 to 2 years old
2 to 3 years old
4 to 5 years old
(1 gram of table salt is the size of a soybean grain.) ）
The main reason for restricting salt intake here is to limit the intake of sodium, a mineral in table salt. Salt restriction must begin in infancy.
2) Dietary guidelines recommend that the daily salt intake of people over 6 years old should be controlled at 6 grams, and the WHO recommends controlling it at 5 grams.
Always let the child eat while it is hot
Hurts the mouth and hurts the stomach
"Baby hurry up and eat while it's hot, the meal should be cold in a while"
This sentence may be most mothers have said, "eat while hot" has long become a habit of Chinese, always feel that food cold will hurt the stomach, will be difficult to digest, but in fact, overheated food is really the esophagus killer.
Long-term eating of too hot food, easy to lead to serious damage to the esophageal mucosa, causing chronic oral mucositis, chronic esophagitis, gastritis and so on! In severe cases, it can also lead to esophageal ulcers, stomach erosions, and even cancer!
According to statistics, China has the highest incidence and mortality rate of esophageal cancer.
In addition to genetics, drinking alcohol, and eating pickled foods, the love of hot drinks and hot foods is one of the important factors that increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
Being able to eat "hot" is the same as being able to eat spicy, which is cultivated in the gradual guidance of the people around you and the slow "exercise" of your own. Today can accept "a little heat", tomorrow can accept "a little hotter". People around me advised a few more words, "Eat while it's hot!" "The habit is slowly formed.
It's not good to give your baby food that's too cold or too hot
Food from room temperature to 40 degrees
It's the right temperature for your baby
Blow cold to eat and taste the temperature
It is easy to spread germs to children
Afraid that the meal is too hot, the baby is in a hurry to eat, the adult will use his mouth to blow a blow, to the baby to blow the rice cold!
Afraid of being hot to the baby, the family first tastes the temperature for the child.
Being a mother really a heartbreaker for the child, but this loving action is also easy to bring germs to the child.
In the process of blowing cold meals or water to children, the droplets of adults and the germs in the droplets are also blown out, which all fall into the children's meals.
Whether it is to taste the temperature with the mouth, chew the meal, or blow cold and then feed the baby, it may pass the bacteria in the adult body to the baby. For example, herpes virus infection in saliva, Helicobacter pylori and so on.
Therefore, the best way to cool down the meal is naturally cool, and when the child's meal or drinking water is no longer exhaling hot, and then touch the bowl wall with your hand at a suitable temperature, you can give the baby to eat.
For babies with anxious mouths, mothers may wish to accompany their children to make a game, tell a story and then eat to divert their children's attention.
Often give your child soup and rice
It can easily lead to indigestion
Some parents mistakenly think that soup and rice are easy to digest and conducive to the baby's physical development. But in fact, this is a big misunderstanding for the baby to eat:
Soup bubble rice is not conducive to the normal development of the baby's mouth and face
Soup to make rice, because the soup is smoother and better to swallow, the baby's chewing exercise to eat is reduced. Chewing exercise can promote the normal development of teeth, jaws and surfaces, promote local blood circulation and lymphatic reflux, and enhance metabolism. Long-term chewing is reduced, and the relevant muscles of the baby's mouth and face are not exercised, and the development will be affected.
Soup and rice are not conducive to the digestion of food
When eating, in the process of chewing, the mouth will secrete some saliva, and the main components of saliva are amylase and lysozyme, and their main role is to help the baby digest and sterilize. If chewing is reduced, the secreted saliva will also be reduced, without the auxiliary digestion of amylase and lysozyme, the digestion work will be directly handed over to the gastrointestinal tract, not only the digestion and absorption of food will be affected, but also increase the gastrointestinal burden.
Water occupies the capacity of the stomach and is prone to malnutrition for a long time
The baby's stomach capacity is small, and the soup will reduce the amount of food the child eats. The volume will swell after the rice soup is soaked, plus there is a lot of soup, the child is easy to be full at that time, and the intake of each meal is reduced accordingly, in the long run, the child's insufficient energy and nutrient intake will affect growth and development.
There is a lot of oil and salt in the soup, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the child
There is also a kind of soup rice is bibimbap with vegetable soup, which is more harmful to the child's body. Not only is it easy to develop children's heavy taste eating habits, but also reduce the intake of children's vegetables and meat and eggs, the seasoning, oil, salt in the vegetable soup are the most, long-term intake of high oil, high salt diet, is not conducive to the growth and development of children.
Therefore, eating when it is time to eat, drinking soup when it is time to drink soup, and paying attention to the baby's balanced and light diet is the most conducive to the growth and development of the baby.
Eat while watching cartoons
Affects the stomach and mind
In the TV series "An Jia", the mother Gong Beibei was unhappy because the child watched cartoons while eating and the old man had an unpleasant situation, and the child was also reprimanded and cried. I remember a sentence that impressed me very much, my grandmother said: "You go and ask the children of other people in the community, who is not a child while watching cartoons and eating"...
Nowadays, a large proportion of children eat while watching cartoons, and the harm to children is not limited to the stomach.
When watching cartoons when eating, the child's attention is all focused on cartoons, and the body's blood flow is preferentially supplied to the brain, and the blood supply for gastrointestinal digestion will be reduced, affecting the digestion and absorption of food.
And children are used for two purposes, eating while watching, and not concentrating, and will develop the habit of not focusing on things. In the long run, when the child does not have a TV, he will cry and eat.
Therefore, when eating, concentrate on eating, cartoons are not impossible to watch, and then concentrate on watching after eating.
Each of you is watching,
I thought I liked it.
