The healthy growth of children is definitely inseparable from the nutrition of diet. Therefore, the majority of parents will prepare a hearty meal for their children at ordinary times, so that children in the development stage can take in enough nutrients, so as to run taller, grow stronger, and have a smart mind.
However, some parents do not realize that the so-called "nutritious diet" they prepare is likely to have a negative impact on their children.
The 3-year-old baby was fed gout, and the "culprit" turned out to be the soup that the grandmother gave the baby every day
Now that the baby is 3 years old, the mother thinks that it is time to take the child to the playground to enjoy the joy of childhood, so she made an itinerary, prepared all the things that should be prepared, and waited for the child to take a vacation.
As a result, just when she was about to leave, the mother accidentally touched the baby's ankle, which was a very slight touch, but the baby actually cried, saying that his ankle was very painful.
And the mother felt that something was wrong, because she knew that the touch just now was not heavy and should not cause the child to be injured, so she looked carefully and found that the child's ankle was really swollen.
Seeing that the child's ankle was swollen, the mother didn't care about taking the child out to the playground, but immediately took the child to the hospital.
During the examination in the hospital, the mother thought about it, thinking that the child's ankle might have been twisted or bumped, but when the doctor saw the test results, the cause given by the mother was incredulous.
Because the doctor said that the child did not have a bump or a sprain, but had gout.
"Gout?" The mother was very puzzled, in the mother's consciousness, gout is a disease that only the elderly can get, let alone children, and they don't have it.
After that, the doctor asked about the specific diet of the family, as well as the health of relatives in the family, and after learning that the child's father had gout, and the child's grandmother often made soup for the child, he gave the reason for the child's gout: "three points of genetics, seven points of soup".
It is said to be genetic, but in fact, it is not gout that is inherited, but some diseases that cause high uric acid, so the impact of heredity on gout is relatively small, and the main reason for children to suffer from gout is "drinking soup".
The soup that the baby drinks is not an ordinary soup, but a "tonic soup" made by grandma, such as "chicken soup", "pork rib soup" and so on.
In the eyes of the child's grandmother, these soups are very nutritious, but in essence, these soups can be described as "health killers".
Because these soups contain a lot of purines, which are the key factors that trigger gout.
Therefore, you must not often boil "tonic soup" for your children to drink, drinking a large amount of broth and chicken soup for a long time will put your child's health at great risk.
You know, these soups not only have more purines, but also have a high fat content, the more "rich" the soup, the higher the fat content, in addition to causing gout in children, it may also cause obesity and other problems, which is really bad for children's health.
Therefore, it is urgent to establish a healthy diet awareness, the following seemingly nutritious diet, in fact, there is a big health crisis hidden behind it, and many parents do not know to give their children food every day.
These foods are not suitable for children to eat regularly, and may affect children's health, so don't pay attention to them
In people's consciousness, chicken soup and broth are often very nutritious and healthy foods, but in fact, these soups contain some substances that are not conducive to health.
In fact, there are many "healthy diets" such as chicken soup and broth that contain hidden hazards or are in people's misunderstandings, and parents must pay attention to it, and do not give it to their children often, otherwise it will have a greater impact on their children's health.
◎ Fruit juice: High in sugar
In the consciousness of many people, fruit juice is a very healthy drink, it contains the nutrients in the fruit, and does not contain any additives, and at the same time it is delicious, thirst-quenching, and can hydrate and nourish children at the same time, which is really very good.
But in fact, we do not recommend giving your child juice often, let alone drinking it as water.
The main reason is that fruit juice contains a lot of sugar, and filters out the dietary fiber in many fruits, and when the fruit is squeezed into juice, the child's intake will increase several times, resulting in the child's intake of too much sugar and too little dietary fiber, causing health problems. For example, it causes obesity in children and so on.
Therefore, fruit juice is not a substitute for drinking water, usually should give the child to drink water, or drink water, juice occasionally as a drink is still OK, but remember not to drink more.
◎Dried fruits and vegetables: high oil content
With the awakening of people's health awareness, many people have begun to pay attention to the importance of fruits and vegetables in the diet.
Some parents find that their children don't seem to like fruits and vegetables very much, so they prepare dried fruits and vegetables for their children, which are crisp and delicious, and children can accept them.
At first glance, people think that the difference between dried fruits and vegetables and fresh fruits and vegetables is only "different in water content", but in fact, this is not the case.
Most of the dried fruits and vegetables on the market are actually fried and dehydrated, and these dried fruits and vegetables will carry a lot of fat after being fried.
In addition, in order to ensure the taste of dried fruits and vegetables, different merchants may add unequal amounts of sugar, salt and other seasonings to them.
After eating this dried fruit and vegetable, the child will inadvertently ingest a large amount of fat, sugar and salt, which will affect the child's physical health.
Therefore, dried fruits and vegetables cannot be used as a substitute for fresh fruits and vegetables, and it is okay to eat them as snacks occasionally, but not as a staple food.
◎ "Kids" seasoning: heavier mouthful
Some parents pay more attention to the health and safety of their children's diet, and after knowing that heavy taste is not good for their children's health, they want to prepare some seasonings suitable for children to eat.
At this time, people will find that there are some "exclusive" seasonings for children on the market, such as children's soy sauce and so on.
Although the word "child" is written on these seasonings, which gives people the impression that they are healthy for children, the reality is not as healthy as people think, and even more "heavy taste" than ordinary seasonings.
Take children's soy sauce as an example, the reason why it is called children's soy sauce is not because it is healthier than ordinary soy sauce, but because it is "more delicious" and easy to be accepted by children, and to achieve this "more delicious" purpose, you need to add some other additives. Therefore, its harm to the human body is actually greater than that of ordinary soy sauce.
In addition, some parents reduce the amount of salt added to their meals in order to make their children eat "lighter".
But in order to make the taste of the meal reach the predetermined taste, the dosage of some other seasonings is added, such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.
In fact, this is a kind of self-deception. It may seem like we don't put salt in our meals, but in fact we don't put a lot of salt in them, because these seasonings often contain salt.
◎ "Children's" food: more additives
Many people think that those foods that look "children's" are definitely healthier and more nutritious than ordinary foods because they are expensive, but in fact this is not the case.
In fact, the gimmick of "children's food" is similar to children's seasonings, and many children's foods will add more additives.
For example, in order to make children like this food at first sight, merchants will add various colors to the food to attract children.
For example, in order to make children like this food more, a lot of sugar is added to it.
For example, in order to adjust a better taste, merchants will add some additives such as thickeners to it.
For example, in order to increase the shelf life, the merchant will put preservatives and so on.
Therefore, when parents buy food for their children, they must pay attention to the ingredient list, and don't be blinded by fancy packaging, advertisements or posters of merchants.
How can children eat safely and healthily? Scientific diet is key
Many people don't know what to give their children when they see that some traditional "nutritious foods" are no longer nutritious, and some modern "healthy foods" are no longer healthy.
In fact, as long as we do three things, we can let our children eat safely and healthily to a certain extent.
(1) Do not blindly believe the propaganda of the merchant
If you want to give your child a safe diet, you must look at some seemingly "nutritious and healthy" things objectively, and don't blindly believe the posters and advertisements of merchants.
For example, when we buy packaged food, what we need to look at is not the various exaggerated propaganda slogans drawn by the merchants, but the ingredient list, to see if the ingredient list is clean, to see if the nutrition table is reasonable.
(2) Try to cook for your child yourself
In order to fundamentally prevent children from being harmed by "poisonous food", it is recommended not to give children takeout or refined food often.
It is best to buy fresh ingredients to cook for your child, so as to avoid your child from eating too many synthetic foods, artificial colors, various additives, etc., so as to better maintain your child's health.
(3) In-depth understanding of children's growth and nutritional needs
The types and proportions of nutrients needed by children at each stage of growth are different, so in order for children to obtain a healthy diet, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the nutritional needs of children at each stage, so as to match the diet according to these needs.
At the same time, we also need to have a certain understanding of ingredients, condiments, and cooking methods, and know how to match and cook ingredients, so as to meet the standards of children's healthy diet and supplement enough nutrition for children.
Write at the end
The health of a child's diet cannot be ignored, as a parent, when preparing a diet for a child, you must not be careless, and you will always give your child food that you think is healthy.
You should know that excessive intake of any food will also affect your health, so even if some foods are good and nutritious, do not give them to your children every day.
Instead, we should enrich the child's diet as much as possible to ensure that the child can consume different dietary nutrients in three meals, so as to meet the needs of the child's growth and development, and let the child grow up healthier.
