For children, the body's resistance is much worse than that of adults, so getting sick is a common occurrence. Prevent colds, babies get sick, mom and dad are very concerned.
Parents always think that getting sick is because their children have poor health, often take some supplements, or eat unclean things. But in fact, even the common cold can be prevented by adjusting the diet. If you don't adjust your baby's diet in time, you can cause malnutrition and developmental disorders. Therefore, as long as we parents do a good job of prevention every day, children will not get sick easily.
So how can parents prevent it?
1. In the child's diet, ensure the intake of protein, vitamins and minerals.
Protein, minerals, vitamins, and minerals are all essential nutrients in your child's diet. If the child does not eat these foods regularly, the body will lack these nutrients, so it is necessary to consume more of these nutrients in the child's diet. However, parents should pay attention to not allowing their children to consume too much large fish and meat and high-protein foods when supplementing their children, otherwise it will cause indigestion and increase the chance of illness. In addition, if the baby often eats spicy and stimulating food, it will also cause harm to the body and may also cause diseases. Therefore, we should pay attention to a light diet when giving these foods to the baby. In addition, parents should also be careful not to let their children eat some snacks. If you eat snacks regularly, it will not only affect the digestive function, but also lead to bad habits such as partial eating and picky eating.
2. Eat less salt because the child's kidneys are not fully developed.
There is a saying called "salt hurts the kidneys", this is because children's kidney function is not perfect, the burden on the kidneys is relatively large, coupled with children's heavy taste, eating salty will increase the burden on the kidneys. If children often eat very salty foods, sodium ions are easy to accumulate in the body, and these sodium ions also inhibit the absorption of zinc in the body. Zinc is one of the essential trace elements for the human body. If a child is deficient in zinc, it will lead to decreased immunity and slow growth and development.
Therefore, during the child's growth, be sure to eat less salt and foods with high salt content. It is recommended that when feeding complementary foods to the baby, pay attention to reasonable nutrition matching, vegetables, meat, eggs and other foods should be reasonably matched. In this way, we can ensure a balanced nutrition, so as to enhance the baby's resistance and immunity and avoid the child from getting sick.
3. Eat less or not eat foods with high salt content, such as soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, etc., which will increase the content of sodium ions in the body and increase the burden on the kidneys.
4. Eat more alkaline foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, alkaline foods help the human body produce antibacterial substances.
5. Eat reasonably, not partial or picky eater.
6. Try to let the baby eat some coarse grains and multigrains, because coarse grains contain more fiber. Cellulose cannot be digested and absorbed in the intestine, but it can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, speed up the passage of food through the intestine, and shorten the time that feces stay in the intestine.
7. The baby's diet should be regular, and three meals should not be taken regularly, so that the gastrointestinal tract cannot rest and is dysfunctional.
8. Ensure adequate sleep and rest time. Children sleep at least 10 hours a day; Avoid eating or drinking too much water before going to bed to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach.
9. Cultivate children's habit of regular bowel movements, and the habit of regular bowel movements is of great help to prevent constipation.
4. After the child eats excessive snacks, the hormones in the body will change.
Babies often eat snacks, and hormones in the body will also change, making them prone to precocious puberty. Therefore, mothers should pay more attention to supplementing their children with calcium and vitamin D.
When the baby is sick, take him to the hospital for treatment in time, and do not arbitrarily give him medicine. Especially antibiotics, improper use will lead to bacterial infections in children, and seriously affect the baby's vision and intellectual development. At the same time, you should also pay attention to your baby's oral hygiene, brush his teeth and rinse his mouth more.
Mothers must do a good job of prevention for their children. Because the physical resistance of children is much worse than that of adults. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children's light and healthy diet, and pay attention to cultivating good living habits and eating habits in their children. In this way, the child can be less sick and healthier!
