Children are at a critical stage of growth and their bones and nerves are not yet fully developed, so it is important to provide adequate and balanced nutrition when it comes to diet.
Especially when it comes to children's breakfast, this is something that parents have been very concerned about and a headache about. With the winter holidays just around the corner, parents with busy schedules or tight schedules need to prepare a nutritious breakfast for their children in just 5 minutes in the morning.
However, a quick and easy breakfast isn't necessarily the best choice, as these foods tend to be high in fat, low in fiber, lacking in nutrients such as vitamins, and may even contain harmful additives.
Finally, we advise parents not to neglect their children's health for the sake of convenience. In the important stage of children's growth and development, a reasonable arrangement of a nutritious and balanced diet can make children grow up healthy and happy.
Many parents will make some quick-frozen food for their children in an emergency, which is convenient and fast, very time-saving, and children also love to eat.
But what many parents don't know is that these quick-frozen foods are unhealthy for children, after all, when children are still growing their bodies, they need far more nutrients than we think.
Therefore, the nutrition in these quick-frozen foods alone is far from enough, and the quick-frozen foods also contain preservatives, which is also not conducive to the growth of children's bodies.
As the saying goes, eat well in the morning, eat full at noon, and eat less at night, and this sentence is not unreasonable.
Therefore, it is also very important for parents to pay attention to their children's nutritional intake for breakfast.
Next, let Dr. Kim talk about the foods that children should avoid in the morning, and parents should pick up a small notebook and memorize it.
The first is pickled food, which has a high salt content. Especially for children and adolescents, who are not yet fully developed and are more sensitive to salt in food.
Because high-salt foods can affect the absorption of zinc in children's bodies, leading to zinc deficiency in children.
Zinc is an important factor in children's intellectual development, so zinc deficiency will directly affect children's intellectual development. At the same time, zinc is also an important part of a child's immune system, and zinc deficiency will cause a child's immunity to decline and be more susceptible to diseases.
The second is sweets, and the excessive intake of sweets can have many negative effects on human health.
First of all, the sucrose in sweets causes bacteria in the mouth to multiply rapidly, causing teeth to soften and decalcify, and eventually develop into tooth decay. This is very detrimental to the child's oral health, in addition to the problem of tooth decay, sweets consume a lot of B vitamins, which further affects the child's mental development.
In addition, excessive sweets can also cause obesity problems in the body, depleting B vitamins in the body, which increases stomach acid in the body, which can lead to many intestinal diseases.
In addition, sweets are also prone to blood sugar fluctuations, and at the same time, after eating sweets, we need to do a good job of oral cleaning, such as brushing and rinsing our mouths, to reduce the damage of bacteria to our teeth.
For parents, it is important to minimize the amount of sweets and give your children more foods rich in B vitamins, such as eggs, animal liver, vegetables and fruits.
In particular, it is important not to let your child eat sweets within 2 hours before going to bed at night, so as not to affect the child's sleep quality and nutrient absorption.
The third is fried food, which is very fond of both children and adults. Such as fried chicken thighs, french fries, etc., they have a unique texture and taste that attracts many people.
However, fried foods contain a lot of oil, and when children consume too many of these foods, it will increase the accumulation of body fat, which can lead to the occurrence of obesity. Some harmful substances may also be produced in fried foods, such as acrylamide. These substances may affect children's mental development and health.
The fourth is processed meat, especially foods such as beef balls and fish balls, which are usually found in hot pots and various food stalls, and their flavor is very delicious because of their seasoning, so they are loved by children.
However, these foods are artificially processed meats, and some contain excessive nitrites and low-quality meat fats, which can cause adverse effects on health when consumed for a long time, and are especially not suitable as a breakfast choice for children.
It is recommended that parents can provide this kind of food in moderation when their children are hungry, but they must pay attention to controlling the amount of food to prevent long-term consumption from affecting health.
When selecting processed meats, you should try to choose places with high brand awareness, strict management and qualified purchase channels, so as to ensure the quality and safety of the products.
When guiding children to develop healthy eating Xi habits, parents need to emphasize the intake of enough vegetables, fruits, proteins and carbohydrates, and reduce the intake of greasy and high-sugar foods, which can help improve children's physical condition and improve their quality Xi of life.
