How to cultivate children's good eating habits
1, wash your hands before and after meals to help children develop good hygiene habits.
2, diet should be timed, fixed and quantitative.
3. Train children to eat with cups, spoons, bowls, chopsticks and other tableware in a timely manner. Encourage children to eat more foods, not picky eaters, and eat less snacks.
Wash your hands correctly
Teach children how to eat correctly.
1, eat slowly, don't put your food in your mouth, and don't talk while eating.
2. Understand how to eat different foods, such as knowing which foods should be peeled, pitted, washed, eaten raw and cooked.
3. Understand the safety precautions when eating food. For example, smooth food should be chewed before swallowing. When eating food with thorns, chew slowly and spit out the thorns. Hot food should wait until it is cold.
Children's food choices
1. Choose fresh, natural and nutritious ingredients, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs, without artificial colors, preservatives and flavoring agents. Give children more food such as fish (rich in lecithin), walnuts (brain-strengthening and intelligence-improving), milk and eggs (high-quality protein) to promote the baby's physical development, especially the development of the brain.
2. Don't give your child supplements easily. Some people think that giving children supplements will promote growth and development and improve intelligence, so they give them various supplements. However, supplements contain hormones and trace active substances, which will affect children's normal physiological metabolism and cause many adverse consequences such as loss of appetite and precocious puberty, and should be used with caution. If necessary, it should be used dialectically under the guidance of a doctor.
3, give children less puffed food chips, shrimp strips, instant noodles, etc. Puffed food is very popular with children because of its crisp and sweet taste. However, this food is rich in sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate and essence. In terms of composition and structure, it is a food with high fat, high calorie and low crude fiber. Regular consumption can lead to obesity, gastrointestinal discomfort and malnutrition in children.
Boiled water is the best drink for children. Boiled water can not only meet children's physiological needs for water, but also provide children with some minerals and trace elements. Water loses quickly in summer, and minerals such as sodium and potassium will be discharged with sweat, so children should make up soup in summer. When supplementing water, it is recommended that children eat more fruits or supplement with soup, preferably in small quantities. It should be noted that when replenishing water, don't drink too much boiled water. Excessive drinking water may lead to water poisoning.
