Common sense one: 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. Neither carbonated drinks nor nutritious health drinks are suitable to replace tap water as people's main drinking water. Children who have the habit of drinking drinks often have poor appetite, hyperactivity, bad temper and light weight.
Common sense 2: Eating too many cold drinks is harmful to health.
In summer, many children love to eat ice cream, and children around 3-6 years old can't control their appetite, just want to eat it. It is very harmful for children to eat four or five ice creams at a time or drink two or three bottles of soda. First of all, in summer, the secretion of gastric acid in human body decreases, and the immune function of digestive system decreases, while the climatic conditions at this time are just suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Therefore, summer is the season of digestive tract diseases. Eating too many cold drinks will cause the children's gastrointestinal tract temperature to plummet, local blood circulation to slow down and other symptoms, affect the absorption and digestion of nutrients in food, and may even lead to digestive dysfunction, nutritional deficiency, and children often have abdominal pain. In addition, the hygienic conditions of some products in the cold drink market are very poor, and many products do not meet the hygienic standards. In this case, excessive consumption of cold drinks will increase the chances of children suffering from digestive diseases.
Common sense 3: canned drinks are harmful to children.
Pop cans popular with children are made of aluminum alloy. In order to avoid contact between aluminum alloy and beverage, its inner layer is coated with organic paint for isolation. In the production process of some manufacturers, the protective coating on the tank wall is not completely coated, or the coating is damaged during sealing, filling and transportation, which will lead to direct contact between the beverage and aluminum alloy, and aluminum ions will be dissolved in the beverage. A survey shows that the aluminum content of cans is 3~6 times higher than that of bottled drinks. If you drink cans often, it will inevitably lead to excessive aluminum intake. Excessive aluminum may lead to mental retardation and abnormal behavior of children, which is not conducive to the development of children's bones and teeth.
Common sense 4: Drinking mineral water for a long time will cause disease.
The main difference between mineral water and tap water is that the content of some minerals or trace elements is high, which has health care function for specific people. Drinking mineral water should be targeted, and what is lacking is the best. If too many minerals and trace elements are deposited in the human body for a long time, it may cause some diseases, the most common of which is kidney calculi.
Common sense 5: colored soda will affect physical development.
The main components of colorful soft drinks are synthetic sweeteners, synthetic flavors, synthetic pigments and carbonated water, all of which are made by adding carbon dioxide gas. There is almost no nutrition except a certain amount of calories. Artificial sweeteners here include saccharin, sodium cyclamate, acesulfame K and sodium cyclamate. These substances are not absorbed and utilized by the human body, are not nutrients of the human body, are not beneficial to the human body, and are harmful to health when used in many ways. Those soft drinks with particularly bright colors contain a lot of synthetic pigments and essences, which will bring potential harm to children. After excessive pigments and essences enter children's bodies, they are easy to deposit on their immature digestive tract mucosa, causing loss of appetite and indigestion, interfering with the functions of various enzymes in the body and adversely affecting metabolism and physical development. There are also some colored popsicles, colored ice bricks and colored ice packs. They are as harmful to children's development as colored soda, and it is recommended not to eat them.
Common sense 6: Try to eat less or not to eat puffed food.
French fries, snow cakes, potato chips, shrimp strips, shrimp slices, chicken belly, chicken strips and corn cob are all children's favorite puffed foods. The experiment shows that puffed food is delicious, but it belongs to food with high fat, high calorie and low crude fiber in terms of composition and structure. From the analysis of diet structure, there are certain defects and you can only eat it occasionally. Long-term consumption of puffed food will lead to high intake of oil and calories and insufficient intake of crude fiber. If you don't exercise enough, it will cause fat accumulation and obesity. Children often eat puffed food, which will affect the normal diet, leading to various nutrients can not be guaranteed and supplied, prone to malnutrition.
Common sense seven: nutritional supplements must not be eaten at will.
Parents believe that giving children supplements will promote their growth and development, and they hope to improve their intelligence through supplements. So they will buy various nutritional supplements, such as ginseng, velvet antler, donkey-hide gelatin, cordyceps sinensis, pollen and other nutrients. Who knows that these supplements may be beneficial to adults, but they often cause many adverse consequences to children, such as loss of appetite and precocious puberty.
Common sense 8: Eating jelly often will hinder nutrient absorption.
Most jellies sold in the market are not made of fruits, but are made of thickeners such as sodium alginate, agar, gelatin and carrageenan, as well as a small amount of synthetic flavors, artificial colorants, sweeteners and acidulants. Although sodium alginate and agar are both dietary fibers, excessive absorption will affect the absorption of fat and protein, especially inorganic salts such as iron and zinc will combine into soluble or insoluble mixtures, thus affecting the absorption and utilization of these trace elements by human body.
Common sense 9: children should not drink too much coke and coffee.
A large number of studies have found that drinking coffee and caffeinated drinks regularly is not good for children's health. Caffeine is actually a stimulant, which mainly acts on the central nervous system, stimulates myocardial contraction and accelerates heartbeat and breathing. If children consume too much caffeine, they will have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, irritability, increased heart rate and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it will also cause muscle tremor and hand trembling when writing. Caffeine is irritating, which can stimulate gastric peristalsis and gastric acid secretion and cause intestinal spasm. Children who often drink coffee are prone to unexplained abdominal pain, and long-term excessive intake of caffeine can lead to chronic gastritis. Caffeine can dilate the capillaries on the gastrointestinal wall, and children's bone development will also be affected. At the same time, caffeine can also destroy vitamin B 1 in children, causing vitamin B 1 deficiency.
Common sense 10: foreign fast food is not suitable for eating because of its single nutrition.
Even if foreign fast food does not contain "Sudan red", there is still a big problem in the nutritional ratio: high calorie, high fat and unreasonable combination of meat and vegetables ... If you only eat it once or twice occasionally, the harm to children's health from frequent patronage can not be ignored.
