Grandma brings her baby. She likes these foods to make breakfast for her children. They are not nutritious and affect their health.
Nowadays, people's living standards have been greatly improved, but there are still many families living under great pressure. Young people work hard to earn money, and the elderly do not retire as scheduled. After retiring from work, most of them have the task of raising grandchildren.
The older generation, who went through hardships and was still very scarce in the past, people were not too picky about food, and basically they were able to manage their fill. This obviously does not match the current living conditions. Now it's time to not only think about delicious food, but also pay attention to nutrition and health. Especially children's breakfast, if not eat well, it will also affect the growth and development of children.
These foods are not suitable for children to eat for breakfast
- Fried rice or fried noodles (powder)
The older generation is more diligent and thrifty, and they can’t bear to throw away the rice left over from the night before, and wait until the next morning to eat fried rice. And with some eggs, the fragrant fried rice is very suitable for children's taste experience.
In fact, the leftover rice is still edible after you put it in the refrigerator and reheat it the next day. However, after a night of consumption, the human body has a very urgent need for energy in the morning. Therefore, it is better to eat some foods that are easier to digest and absorb. Fried rice is too dry and hard, which is very unsuitable. Not only fried rice, fried noodles or fried noodles, etc., are not suitable for breakfast.
- Soy milk sticks
People often refer to soy milk and fried dough sticks as the "best partners" for breakfast. In fact, soy milk is still very good, with high nutritional value, and it is also very easy to be absorbed by the human body. But the fault is that it should not be paired with fritters, or some other fried foods.
Because fried food contains high calories, it is easy to make people angry, and it is not easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body. The carbonized starch will also change greatly from the original nutritional value. In terms of taste alone, there is nothing to choose from, and the taste is not bad if you try it occasionally, but it is not suitable for regular consumption.
- Snacks or instant noodles
Many children like to eat instant noodles, and some elderly people regard instant noodles as nutritious food and often buy them for their children. My father has always said, "If the country is not healthy, why does the country still produce?" In their eyes, as long as it is edible food, delicious food is nutrition. Therefore, as long as the children like to eat, the elderly will buy them to eat.
More of the ingredients in snacks or instant noodles are sugar, which is very high in calories. Therefore, children with a good appetite are not picky eaters, and children who like to eat snacks are relatively obese.
Before puberty, the child's gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, so the ability to digest food is very poor. Food for breakfast. Although occasional eating has little effect, the child's ability to control is relatively poor, and these foods are very easy to make people want to eat, so they must be well controlled.
How to eat better breakfast for children?
First of all, you must pay attention to the amount of breakfast, that is to say, you must eat enough, and the human body will be more energetic. In terms of food selection, the main consideration is the combination of "dry" and "wet".
For example, dry food: it can be bread, meat buns or steamed buns, eggs, fiber biscuits, etc.; if the conditions are good, some chicken breast, steak or fish food will also be prepared.
The "wet" food can be: porridge, soy milk, milk, freshly squeezed fruit juice, or some grain porridge.
In addition, you can eat some fruits, such as apples, oranges, kiwi and so on.
It should be noted that the space in the human stomach is limited, if the above wet food is eaten too much. It can't meet the ability needs of active children in the morning, so they can't eat too much. If you eat too much dry food, the body will not be able to provide energy to the body in a more timely manner if it is absorbed slowly, so pay attention to the combination of dry and wet food.
The second is to pay attention to the time of breakfast
Too early, the general human body has no appetite, and it is easy to continue to be picky or partial. And if breakfast is eaten too late, it is also asymmetrical. It will affect the energy supply in the morning, and it will affect the normal meal of lunch.
So under normal circumstances, it is very good to eat between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning, earlier in summer and later in winter.
Don't have breakfast in bed
In order to let their children sleep for a while, some parents hurriedly wake up their children when they are about to go to school. However, after Hulun eats some breakfast, they go to school, and some go to school while eating, which is not good.
Because when the human body just wakes up, the stomach function has not been fully awakened, and the appetite is generally not very good. After getting up, you need to do some aerobic exercise or drink some warm water, and then the stomach function will be gradually awakened, and the appetite will be stronger, so that you can enjoy the food better.
In addition to paying attention to the nutritional value of the food itself, the mood of the child when eating is also very important. If the child is often reprimanded when eating, the child is generally thinner. On the one hand, such children are picky eaters, so they always have this or that problem when eating, and they don’t eat well, so they are often reprimanded before meals. Even nutritious food, the child can’t absorb it.
Therefore, as parents, we need to arrange meals more reasonably in terms of meal time, exquisite food, and some preparations before and after meals, so as to arouse children's taste buds, and do not reprimand children before meals. The healthier the body, the more beneficial it is for the physical and mental health of the child.
