The problem that children and teenagers often drink sugary drinks has become prominent. What harm will it do to them?

National Health and Family Planning Commission: The smoking rate of people above 15 exceeds one quarter. On 23rd, the State Council Press Office held a press conference. Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health Planning Commission, mentioned that the unhealthy lifestyle of China residents is still widespread: children and adolescents often drink sugary drinks, and the smoking rate of people over 15 years old and the drinking rate of adults within 30 days exceed one quarter. Keep a healthy lifestyle and cherish your health.

Drinking even a small amount of sugary drinks for a long time is harmful to your health.

Drinking too many sugary drinks is harmful. Bacteria in the oral cavity can ferment sugar and food residues and participate in the formation of dental plaque; Carbonated drinks have certain acidity, and long-term drinking will corrode teeth and increase the risk of dental caries.

Because sugary drinks have high energy content and poor satiety, they will increase the risk of obesity. At the same time, the sugar in sugary drinks can be absorbed quickly, and excessive drinking may also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. These sugars in drinks will make you more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases. Another study shows that drinking too much sugary drinks also has a certain effect on blood pressure and blood lipids.

Childhood is a critical period for the formation of eating behavior and lifestyle.

Children should choose drinks from nutrition, hygiene and other factors. However, humans (or animals) have no resistance to sugar, and the taste of drinks is largely attributed to sugar. Children are in a critical period of growth and development, as well as the formation of children's eating behavior and lifestyle. And the report shows that many drinks are bought by parents. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate children's drinking habits from an early age. For example, the healthiest thing is to drink boiled water or mineral water or pure water, but children who drink too much white water may feel less delicious. How to make children drink happily is a science.

What if the child really wants to drink?

Some parents think it is ok to drink pure fruit juice, and children also need to control the intake of pure fruit juice. The sugar in fruit is not free sugar, but once squeezed into juice, the sugar inside becomes free sugar that needs to be controlled. If you really want to drink soft drinks, you can occasionally drink soda water or even citrus juice, drink it through a straw, swallow it quickly and brush your teeth after 30 minutes.
