The summer solstice is approaching, the five elements of children's healthy diet, have you done it?

2020 is almost halfway through, and the tenth solar term of the year, the summer solstice, is also coming. After the summer solstice, not only will the temperature become higher and higher, but also the Jianghuai area will be rainy. High temperature dry and hot, easy to make people have a bad appetite. How should mothers prepare delicious and nutritious meals for their babies? What should I pay attention to in my baby's summer diet? Here's a little advice for you.

Five rules for your baby's summer diet

(1) Drink water in small quantities and multiple times. In the summer, the baby sweats more, the water loss in the body is also more, the baby's tolerance to dehydration is worse than that of adults, if there is a feeling of thirst, in fact, the cells in the body have been dehydrated. Severe dehydration can also lead to fever. In addition, in the summer, the baby drinks more water, which can also play a dual role in relieving the heat and relieving constipation.

Your baby gets about 800 ml of water from milk and food, but in summer your baby should consume about 1100-1500 ml of water. When hydrating, it is advisable to drink a small amount of water many times, a large amount of water at one time will dilute stomach acid, is not conducive to digesting food and sterilization, excessive water may cause water poisoning; children's gastrointestinal mucosa is tender, do not drink ice water on an empty stomach; drink high sugar content, it is best to drink boiled water.

In addition, what kind of water to supplement, many parents will be more distressed, because now there is also a lot of water, such as mineral water pure water tap water and so on. In fact, it is okay to drink any kind of water, and it will not have much impact on the child's body. Because children still focus on obtaining nutrients through daily diet, but they also need to pay attention to avoid drinking a kind of water for a long time. Because tap water may have more impurities, it is not very conducive to health, but pure water because it contains less minerals, so it may not be suitable for long-term drinking, so the best or drink some mineral water, is conducive to mineral supplementation and a variety of trace elements supplementation, but other water can also be drunk, but need to pay attention to appropriate adjustment, is conducive to nutritional balance.

(2) Pay attention to food safety. Summer is coming, and as the temperature rises step by step, food is not properly preserved, and it is easy to breed bacteria and mold. Children's resistance is weak, gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, and they are very prone to gastrointestinal diseases, such as acute gastroenteritis, infectious diarrhea, bacterial dysentery, etc. Therefore, we must pay special attention to diet and put the good "disease from the mouth" pass.

When cooking, parents should ensure that the ingredients are fresh, try to eat fresh, and the overnight food and cooked food purchased in the refrigerator must be fully heated before eating; vegetables and fruits must be washed, melons and fruits must be peeled; attention should be paid to the hygiene and drying of tableware to avoid breeding bacteria and mold; try not to let children eat randomly, so as not to cause indigestion.

(3) Change the flower sample species, pay attention to nutritional balance, and focus on fresh vegetables and fruits. Summer temperature is high, the baby's digestive enzyme secretion is less, easy to cause indigestion or infection with intestinal infectious diseases such as enteritis, the baby's diet should be light, less spicy and greasy food.

Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, etc., which can replenish the vitamins and minerals that children lose in sweat.

In summer, zinc is constantly lost in your baby's body as sweat is discharged. At the same time, the baby's appetite is poor and zinc intake is reduced. The baby's daily diet should include some foods with high zinc content and easy absorption, such as egg yolks, beef and mutton, lean pork, animal liver, seafood, etc. You can also properly let children eat some sour foods, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, plums, grapes, hawthorns, pineapples, mangoes, kiwi fruits and the like, their sour taste can absorb sweat and stop diarrhea, can prevent excessive sweating and gas and yin, and can quench thirst and stomach digestion. When cooking dishes, you can also add a little vinegar, and the acetic acid in vinegar can also be sterilized to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

In addition, we should also pay attention to protein supplementation. You should eat more high-quality protein such as milk, eggs, lean meat, and fish, because of its low fat content and light taste, it is very suitable for children to eat. There are also soy milk, tofu and other soy products, the plant protein they contain is most suitable for the baby's nutrient absorption.

In short, the child's diet needs to change the flower sample species to enhance the child's appetite.

(4) Supplement salt in an appropriate amount. Hot and sweaty, a large amount of salt in the body is then excreted from the body, and the lack of salt makes the osmotic pressure unbalanced, affecting metabolism, and people are prone to fatigue and anorexia. Therefore, in the summer, it is necessary to supplement the salt in moderation, not too much or too little, and do not ignore it.

(5) Eat less cold drinks and cold foods. Eating too much cold drink will dilute gastric juice, affect digestion, and stimulate the intestine, make hyperperistry, shorten the time that food stays in the small intestine, and affect the child's absorption of nutrients in food. In particular, the gastrointestinal function of young children has not yet developed soundly, the mucosal blood vessels and related organs are not suitable for the stimulation of cold drinks, and eating more cold drinks will cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, sore throat and cough and other symptoms, and even induce tonsillitis.
