I don't know if you have heard of this statement?
"Small children can't eat cold drinks! Because eating cold drinks in the summer is equivalent to pouring 0 ° C water into the stomach at 37 ° C, while urinating is hot, cold drinks bring a great burden to the spleen, stomach and kidneys. If you love your child, give him warm boiled water! ”
In this regard, many elderly people will believe that even in the hot summer, the high temperature of 40 ° C will also "deprive" children of the right to eat cold drinks, for fear of hurting the spleen and stomach.
For children, when they see a variety of ice cream and various ice creams, they will naturally be hungry, but they can only hold the thermos cup and drink hot water miserably, which can be described as "sad for those who hear, and tears for those who see".
So the question is, is eating cold drinks really equivalent to "hurting the spleen and stomach"? Must children be forbidden to eat cold drinks?
In fact, the answer is really not so, and those children who are restricted by their parents from eating cold drinks and babies who are not restricted are very different in 3 aspects.
Will eating cold drinks "hurt the spleen and stomach"?
"Hurting the spleen and stomach" is the reason why many parents forbid their children to eat cold drinks, but in fact, the relationship between the two is not as big as we think.
First of all, the body's thermoregulation function is very powerful, some scientists have done experiments, they asked the experimenters to spend 10 minutes, eat 500 grams of ice cream at a time, the result is that the core temperature in the body only dropped by 0.8 ° C.
And 500 grams of ice cream is 1 pound of ice cream, which is about equivalent to 8 cones, even adults will rarely eat so much at once, right?
Therefore, the impact of eating cold drinks on body temperature is almost negligible, and the statement at the beginning of the article is naturally nonsense.
Secondly, many times we have diarrhea after eating cold drinks, which is more caused by the usual habit of eating hot food, suddenly eating cold drinks, and the stomach is not used to it.
Just like some children, the stomach is relatively fragile, as long as it is raw and cold food, it is easy to diarrhea, stomach pain, eating cold drinks will naturally not be too comfortable.
So as long as it is not too "squeamish" in normal times, eating cold drinks will not have a great impact, and we do not have to worry about eating cold drinks that will hurt the spleen and stomach.
Children who are restricted from eating cold drinks by their parents from an early age have a big gap in 3 aspects from children who are allowed
1. Being restricted from eating cold drinks, it is easy to have an "over-compensating" psychology when you grow up
There is a term in psychology called "overcompensation", which means that a person has deficiencies in some aspects, which causes overcompensation behavior, in other words, "overcorrection".
Some children are restricted by their parents from eating cold drinks and snacks from childhood, and when they grow up with the right to freely dispose of the economy, they will be prone to this "excessive compensation" psychology, buying a lot of cold drinks and snacks that they wanted to eat when they were young, but they did not eat, to make up for the shortcomings of their childhood.
2. Eating too much cold drink is not conducive to good health
Although children occasionally eat cold drinks, it will not affect their health, but if they eat too much, it may still lead to health problems such as loss of appetite and obesity.
After all, the vast majority of cold drinks are high-calorie, high-sugar foods, if children are allowed to "eat and drink", there are certain health risks.
3. It may affect the parent-child relationship
Eating cold drinks may seem like a small matter, but for children, it is a big thing related to "happiness in life".
If the parents' requirements are too strict, when the children see their friends eating cold drinks with their faces full of enjoyment, but they are not allowed, it is easy for them to be dissatisfied with their parents, and even suspect that the parents are reluctant and do not "love" themselves enough, which is easy to affect each other's parent-child relationship.
It is not necessary to completely ban your child from eating cold drinks, but be aware of these problems
1. It is not recommended to eat cold drinks before the age of 1
Although eating cold drinks is not as "terrible" as the rumors, due to the immature stomach of children within 1 year old, too fragile, eating cold food is easy to be uncomfortable, so it is not recommended for children under 1 year old to eat cold drinks.
2. Try to choose "healthy" cold drinks
The definition of cold drink is very broad, in addition to ice cream, ice cream, ice cold fruits, etc., even ice water also belongs to the category of "cold drink".
When we choose for children, we must try to choose more "healthy" categories, such as ice cream and ice cream must choose a regular big brand, optimistic about the production date and ingredient list, with less ingredients and fewer additives.
The iced fruit should pay attention not to repeatedly thaw, it is best to eat it all at once after thawing, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria and cause gastrointestinal problems.
3. Try to "eat less" cold drinks
Most cold drinks are high-oil, high-sugar, high-calorie foods, and even if they taste good, we have to control the amount of food our children eat.
Generally speaking, do not eat more than 80g of ice cream per day, ice cream should not exceed 1 stick per day, of course, if the child is more well-behaved, it will be better to eat less.
Old Miao Conclusion:
Cold drinks are not "flood beasts", and children have no problem tasting them occasionally.
But the premise is that parents should "control the good pass", control the amount of food, cold drink categories, after all, eating cold drinks is also part of the child's good childhood memories, we must not take "eating cold drinks is not good for the body" to deprive them of the right to enjoy cold drinks.
