These foods are the 'rivals' for children to grow taller. No matter how much children like their parents, don't buy them.
With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for diet are no longer enough to eat, but good taste. A variety of snacks on the market have also emerged, capturing the hearts of many children.
In addition, today's parents are almost responsive to their children. In addition to the fish, meat, and fruits on the table in daily life, they also buy a wide variety of snacks to make it easier for children to fill their stomachs when they are hungry.
But after all, this kind of food lacks safety guarantee. If parents do not choose carefully when purchasing, it may bring health risks to their children.
7-year-old boy eats "rich" but does not grow taller
My colleague has a 7-year-old son named Xiaobei. Because he lives relatively close, he can often be seen at the door of the company waiting for his mother to come home with him after get off work.
Although he is thin and small, he is sensible and filial, which is quite attractive.
But he hasn't come for the past few days, so everyone asks colleagues what happened.
Only after this question did I know that Xiaobei's appetite has been greatly reduced recently. He basically doesn't eat much, and he coughs from time to time. Some time ago, I took it to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that the spleen and stomach were weak and there was accumulation of food. The reason was that the diet was very unhealthy.
Colleagues said that it is no wonder that the food for children is very rich, but they are not long. The child's grandmother said that some children grow slowly, and she didn't take it seriously.
I usually have meat and vegetables for every meal at home, and I would let Xiaobei bring an apple to school every morning. Unexpectedly, the snacks that I always eat have become the "culprit" that affects children's health.
Eating too much directly hurts the spleen and stomach. I have been conditioning at home for the past few days, and the snacks have stopped.
Children's diet is really a problem that parents need to pay attention to. It does not mean that a variety of foods means healthy nutrition. Also pay attention to whether there are harmful ingredients, don't wait until the child's body has a problem to regret it, it will be too late.
At that time, the pediatrician who treated Xiaobei also said that some foods are the "enemy" of children's growth. Even if the child likes it, parents should try not to buy it. Not to mention eating without nutrition, but also affect the health of the body.
These kinds of foods can be called "height nemesis", try not to buy them for babies
- Instant noodles
Almost every child has had a time when they loved instant noodles, and now many adults also eat them.
Because most of the noodles are fried, and the taste of the seasoning package is also good, it is more popular. But for children who are growing, they are completely junk food, and there are many preservatives in the package.
Nowadays, when many parents do not have time to cook for their children, they prefer instant noodles instead. But if you eat too much, it will only delay your child's physical development.
- Chocolate pie, donut desserts
These are simply children's favorites, and parents don't look at them for their high price and delicate appearance. But in fact, most of them have added a lot of food additives and saccharin, which will put pressure on the child's stomach and affect their height.
- Nutritious food
There are some parents who do bad things with good intentions. Worrying that the child will not grow taller, I will specially prepare some nourishing nutritional products for the child to eat.
However, the child's stomach is very tender and cannot withstand such a large tonic, but it will cause a serious burden and lead to a weakened absorption capacity.
The correct way to promote children's growth
- High-quality protein diet
Usually, give children more fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, peanuts and soy products, etc., and let children drink a glass of milk in the morning and evening, which are all high-quality proteins, which are beneficial for children to grow taller.
Of course, at the same time, we should also pay attention to the supplementation of calcium, phosphorus, zinc and other elements to achieve a comprehensive nutritional balance.
- Go to bed as early as possible to ensure the quality of sleep
There are two peak periods of growth hormone secretion during sleep at night. If the child's homework pressure is relatively small, parents should try to let him go to bed before 10 o'clock and create a good sleep environment in advance.
Half an hour before going to bed, children are not allowed to play emotional games, watch TV, or play with mobile phones. The brain is too excited, it will reduce the quality of sleep.
- Do more exercise
Letting children do more stretching exercises can help them grow taller, strengthen their bodies, and promote the secretion of growth hormone.
For example, jumping up, stretching on the back, push-ups and leg kicks, etc. If the child feels too boring, they can also choose the corresponding sports activities, such as basketball, skipping rope, swimming, etc.
The height of children is affected by many factors. Parents must take a multi-pronged approach and cannot ignore any of them, especially in terms of diet.
