As the saying goes, "the plan of the day lies in the morning", a hearty and nutritious breakfast has a great impact on a child's day. Therefore, parents should try to improve the quality of their children's breakfast to avoid negative effects on the baby's body.
Xiao Dan's children are already in elementary school, but because they are usually busy with work, they often don't have enough time to make breakfast for their children in the morning, but often take their children to eat breakfast at the stalls outside.
In the beginning, the child ate out and there were no adverse reactions. However, with the increase in the number of times to eat breakfast at roadside stalls outside, the child's body has some problems from time to time, such as a period of time when the child has a stomachache, and then there is a period of diarrhea and so on.
Once, the child was more serious, Xiao Dan took the child to the hospital, but when the test results came out, the doctor looked at the test results, and thought it was incredible, and then said: "How dirty did you give the child? ”
The main culprit of these gastrointestinal problems in children is eating breakfast at food stalls outside for a long time. So, which breakfasts can have a negative impact on a child's spleen and stomach?
Don't continue to feed your child 3 kinds of breakfast, it will "drag down" your child's spleen and stomach
Type 1: Breakfast at a street food stall
Street stalls used to carry many people's good childhood memories, in the past, many people also often ate roadside stalls, but there were no health problems, why eat roadside stalls now, it may be harmful to the spleen and stomach?
(1) In the past, the environmental pollution was not serious, the traffic on the street was not dense, and the food stalls generally paid attention to hygiene.
But now it is different, the current roadside food stalls are seriously polluted, the street is full of cars, people gather, and the sanitary environment is very bad, so in terms of food safety, the current roadside food stalls are no longer the same as before.
(2) In the past, the ingredients of the food stalls were generally "real materials", and the delicious food was made by the stall owners themselves by getting up early and greedily.
Nowadays, many food stalls use some semi-finished products, which can be sold through simple operations.
However, because these semi-finished products are mass-produced and need to be transported and stored, some other ingredients may be added to them.
If you encounter a black-hearted small workshop, you will even add some cheap ingredients that are harmful to the human body in order to pursue profits, and these conditions are enough to damage the child's spleen and stomach.
From this point of view, the current roadside snacks are not "down-to-earth" snacks at all, so it is not recommended for children to eat them for a long time.
In addition, because the ingredients of roadside stalls are exposed, it is easy to become a hotbed of pathogenic sources, and children have weak resistance, and eating at roadside stalls for a long time is likely to contract diseases.
The second: leftovers that have been left for a long time
Some parents are as busy as Xiao Dan and don't have time to cook for their children in the morning, but they are worried that their children will not eat cleanly outside, so they like to warm up some overnight meals for their children.
Parents feel that the overnight meal is clean and hygienic, convenient and fast, and it is a good choice for breakfast. But in fact, overnight meals and leftovers that have been placed for a long time are very unfriendly to the child's spleen and stomach.
(1) The leftovers that have been placed for a long time are not highly nutritious, because after the ingredients are cooked, the loss of nutrients accelerates, and the longer they are placed, the more nutritious they are, and the child cannot eat the main purpose of the diet.
(2) Cause digestive pressure, because leftovers that have been shelved for a long time will not only lose nutrients, but also produce some toxins due to microbial problems, which will affect the child's digestive function and thus affect the child's health.
(3) Leftovers are also easy to breed bacteria and other pathogenic sources, causing children's digestive diseases. In addition, a lot of leftovers have the potential to cause cancer, so don't gamble on your child's health.
The third type: unhealthy packaged foods
This can't be eaten, that can't be eaten, so some parents prepare some packaged foods for their children, such as instant noodles, biscuits, ham sausages, etc. for breakfast.
These foods are indeed very convenient and can be prepared for breakfast in an instant, but they are not kind to children's health.
Some preservatives are often added to general packaged foods because they need to be stored for a long time.
In addition, in order to increase appearance, texture, taste or other factors, some artificial colors and additives will be added to these packaged foods.
And these things often have no benefit to the child's body, some even have more disadvantages, and some packaged foods also contain carcinogens (such as deep-processed meat products, etc.), so if you take these foods for breakfast for a long time, your child's spleen and stomach will be dragged down sooner or later.
So, how do you prepare breakfast for your child?
According to the book "Nutritious Breakfast for Primary School Students", breakfast is a source of vitality for primary school students throughout the day, providing essential nutrients to support growth and development.
Moreover, whether a child eats breakfast well or not is directly related to the child's performance in class and the mental state of the day.
Therefore, parents must pay attention to their children's breakfast, provide them with nutritious, healthy and delicious breakfast food, and let their children develop a good habit of eating breakfast.
When preparing breakfast, pay attention to the following:
(1) Pay attention to the balance of nutrition. The six major nutrients required by the human body should be consumed in a balanced manner to ensure the normal development and daily consumption of children.
(2) Pay attention to the taste and texture of food, which is one of the important factors affecting children's appetite, in order to ensure that children can have good eating habits, when preparing breakfast, parents should take into account the taste needs of children, and integrate the ingredients that children like to eat into breakfast to increase their appetite.
(3) Pay attention to the combination of dry and thin. Breakfast should not be too simple, but focus on a variety of diets, including fruits, grains, and nuts, so as to ensure that they are getting enough nutrients.
Share a nutritious breakfast with the formula: staple food + milk and eggs + vegetables + fruits. Parents can't go wrong with preparing breakfast for their children according to this formula.
(4) Arrange time reasonably. It is important to arrange your child's breakfast time wisely, and parents try to prepare breakfast for their child as early as possible to ensure that they have enough time to eat and digest before school or activities.
Avoid letting your child eat breakfast in a hurry, as this may cause them to undereat or suffer from indigestion.
Some parents said that they are short of time, busy with work, and don't have so much time to cook in the morning.
If parents don't have much time to prepare a hearty breakfast in the morning, they can prepare in advance the night before.
For example, wash and cut the dishes that you want to make in the morning, put them in the crisper for storage, etc., try to do some work that can be done in advance, reduce the workload of the next morning, so as to minimize the time spent in the morning.
Of course, if parents are busy the night before, they can prepare some "nutritious food" in moderation.
For example, steamed buns, dumplings, wontons, etc., these things can be quick-frozen, and they can be heated or boiled when eating, which is very convenient and nutritious.
Write at the end
Dietary safety is greater than the sky, parents should pay attention to their children's breakfast problems, do not lose big because of small things, know that their hard work is actually for the health and development of children, do not delay the "purpose" because of the "process".
