Before a colleague is from Henan, once in the summer I went to their house to play for half a month, fortunately I am not a very picky eater, and because I grew up from snack rice, suddenly let me eat a variety of pasta, but also think it is very delicious, the result of staying in their home for half a month, I am three pounds fat!
Later, I thought that pasta was really nourishing!
And I went to observe the children in the north who like to eat pasta and the children in the south who like to eat rice, and found that their growth and development are indeed different, the children in the north are generally heavy in weight, most of them are chubby, and the children in the south are relatively thin!
Is it really better to give your child more noodles?
The gap between the southern baby who eats from childhood and the northern baby who eats from the snack noodles will widen when they grow up
Gap 1: Weight
The nutrition and chronic disease status report of Chinese residents shows that the overweight and obesity rate of children aged 6 to 17 years old is close to 26% in 2020, and 10% of children under 6 years old!
Studies in the United States have found that 70 to 80% of children's childhood obesity will be extended to adulthood
That is, children who eat pasta from snacks will be more likely to be obese when they grow up.
The taste of pasta will be better than that of rice, pasta is easy to be addictive, such as taking pasta to make a variety of noodles or making dumplings, a bowl of it, once the child eats pasta addiction, the stomach will be enlarged, eating too much pasta will cause excessive sugar intake, and too much carbide intake can easily lead to obesity.
The second gap: language skills
To describe a person, you will say that he is sharp teeth or when he goes to quarrel, it is a verbal battle, that is to say, when I speak, I will use our lips, I will also use our tongue, and I will also use many muscles in our mouths.
And we need to chew rice to swallow when eating, can better exercise the oral muscles, but eat pasta, because it is easy to eat, especially cooked soft and rotten, basically do not have to work hard, do not chew much can swallow, that is, the children in the north may look strong, but indeed the limbs are developed, the language expression ability is worse, but the man's child looks small and exquisite, the mouth is very good at speaking.
This is also related to diet, eating rice is better at exercising oral muscles, eating pasta is difficult to exercise oral muscles, so children in the south have stronger language ability.
Gap 3: Self-confidence
From childhood like to eat pasta often only eat pasta on the full, and then other meat, eggs, vegetables intake is relatively small, it is easy to lead to vitamin deficiency, especially in the northern winter vegetables are more expensive, may often only eat noodles do not eat vegetables do not eat fruit, such children are actually more likely to appear iron deficiency, once the lack of iron brain blood and oxygen, the brain's response becomes slower.
In the south, because the substance is relatively rich, so eat rice at the same time will eat a variety of dishes, broth and fruit, the children in the south will be more balanced nutrition, the brain nutrition is sufficient, the brain response will be faster.
In addition, children in the north are prone to obesity because they eat pasta, and may be ridiculed by others in society, while children in the south will be more symmetrical.
Southern children are well-proportioned, can speak the Tao, the brain responds quickly, and will naturally be more confident
Therefore, when the child is young, do not simply give the child to eat pasta, especially the child whose weight is growing too fast, eat as little as possible, or even do not eat pasta, give the child more to eat, can better control the child's weight, but also avoid the child's unclear speech.
