For pregnant mothers, not all snacks can be eaten, so pay special attention when purchasing.
Healthy snacks should meet the conditions of low sugar, low fat, low calorie, low cholesterol and no chemical additives (such as artificial colors, preservatives, monosodium glutamate, etc.). However, there are not many snacks that meet the above conditions on the market at present, so pregnant mothers should carefully check the ingredients of snacks when purchasing and try to choose healthy foods.
Experts remind pregnant mothers that the reverse side of the snack packaging bag is a must-read content before purchase, and the products produced by regular manufacturers will mark the contents of various nutrients in snacks on the packaging. Pregnant mothers should pay attention to those foods with high calorie and high fat content, or eat less. Don't affect yourself and your baby's health for a moment's satisfaction.
2. What are the tips for choosing snacks?
The general principle is not to buy "three noes" products on the cheap.
Don't buy stall snacks. Choose brand products produced by large regular manufacturers.
1。 Tips for choosing and eating dairy products Pay attention to the identification of product ingredients. It is best to choose plain yogurt and pure milk, and drink less milk drinks such as calcium milk and fruit milk.
Lactic acid bacteria drink is suitable for children with bad stomach. Don't eat dairy products with chocolate pulp.
Because calcium in milk combines with oxalic acid in chocolate, calcium oxalate will be formed. Calcium oxalate is insoluble in water.
If you eat this dairy product for a long time, it is easy to make your baby's hair dry and dull, and you will often have diarrhea, calcium deficiency and slow development. Try not to give your baby dairy products with high sugar content.
Because too much sugar is fermented in the baby, it will cause excessive gastrointestinal peristalsis, which may cause diarrhea. In addition, obesity, dental caries and loss of appetite are also related to excessive sugar.
Vitamin B in fresh milk will be destroyed quickly in the sun. Therefore, it is best to store milk in colored or opaque containers and in a cool place.
It is best not to freeze milk, because the nutrients such as protein, fat and lactose in milk will change after freezing, and there will be obvious uneven stratification. Frozen milk may have solidified sediment, floating cellulite and peculiar smell after thawing, and its nutritional value will also be reduced.
Don't give your child yogurt after heating. Active and lactating lactic acid bacteria in yogurt will die a lot after being heated or diluted with boiling water, not only the unique taste will disappear, but also the nutritional value will be lost.
Don't drink yogurt on an empty stomach. If you drink yogurt on an empty stomach, lactic acid bacteria will be easily killed and the health care function will be weakened.
It is best to drink yogurt about 2 hours after meals. 2。
Fruit contains more sugars, inorganic salts, vitamins and organic acids. Eating fruit regularly can promote appetite, help digestion and help children's growth and development.
The best choice and eating method is to eat a proper amount of fruit after meals every day. It is best to choose ripe and non-perishable fruits.
Because the immature fruit contains succinic acid, it can strongly affect the gastrointestinal tract and affect the digestive function of children. Rotting fruit can cause gastrointestinal inflammation.
It is best not to use juice drinks instead of natural fruits. Buy less fruits that are too big or out of season.
Because most of them are ripened with hormones, it is easy to lead to precocious puberty in children. Its remarkable features are extraordinarily large shape, bright appearance and dull meat taste.
For example, strawberries that are particularly large in the early market and kiwifruit with square appearance are mostly swollen; Fruit stalks include red litchi, watermelon with bright red flesh, immature seeds and not sweet taste. And most of them are ripening; Some extra-large seedless grapes are mostly the result of spraying estrogen. Although fruit is nutritious, it should be eaten in moderation, otherwise it may cause stomach inflammation and indigestion, and children should pay more attention to it.
In addition, don't eat too many kinds of fruits every day. When you are unwell or special, you need to avoid some fruits.
For example, children with allergies such as asthma and cough should eat less watermelon, papaya and cantaloupe, children with skin allergies should eat less mango, papaya and strawberry, and children with diarrhea should be forbidden to drink juice and eat fruit, otherwise diarrhea will not be easy to get better. Children with qi deficiency and spleen deficiency should eat less cold fruits, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, tomato and banana. Children with hot constitution had better not eat hot fruits, such as peaches and lychees.
Some novel imported fruits, such as grapefruit, contain a lot of vitamin C, which has anti-inflammatory effect, but children with weak constitution should not eat more, otherwise they are prone to diarrhea and cough. Kiwi contains papain, which is beneficial to children's gastrointestinal tract.
3。 Cereals, including rice, millet, corn, wheat, sorghum and buckwheat, are the main sources of calories in the diet.
Snacks made from these raw materials are both practical and nutritious. Tips for choosing and eating When choosing bread for children, it is best to replace it with whole wheat bread, cereal bread and white bread.
Cookies should be ordinary or semi-sweet cookies. Choose different kinds of dry cereal without sugar or with less than 3 grams of sugar per serving.
4。 Nuts According to the analysis and identification of modern nutritionists, 500 grams of walnuts is equivalent to the value of 2,500 grams of eggs or 4,500 grams of milk.
About 60% of them are sodium protein, as well as lysine, glutamic acid and vitamin E. It plays an important role in human body and is a good tonic, which can treat children's pertussis, frequent urination, dermatitis and eczema.
Pine nuts are delicious and have a peculiar attractive smell, which is a favorite snack for children. It contains 74% fatty oil, mainly oleic acid, which has the functions of moistening lung, relieving cough and relaxing bowels.
Peanut contains a lot of protein substances, such as amino acids and lecithin, which can moisten the lungs and nourish the stomach and increase nutrition. Tips for choosing and eating should always pay attention to avoid choking and suffocation.
When eating these things, it is best to have an adult to look after them. Children should not run or laugh to avoid choking into the respiratory tract.
Ginkgo biloba is rich in nutrition and can relieve cough and resolve phlegm, but it is also a medicine. It's a three-point poison
Ginkgo biloba contains toxic components such as ginkgo biloba, which can cause neurotoxicity, serious inhibition of heartbeat and respiratory center, and even death. Poisoning symptoms often appear between 1 and 12 hours after eating.
For children, ginkgo biloba is more toxic than nutrition, so eat as little as possible, which can be controlled within 10. .
3. How should we choose snacks?
How to choose snacks: (1) Choose snacks suitable for individuals according to their physical condition and the intake of dinner. If the energy intake of three meals is insufficient, you can choose snacks rich in energy to supplement; For those who need to control energy intake, foods with more sugar or fat are limited snacks and should be eaten as little as possible; If you don't get enough vegetables and fruits for three meals, choose vegetables and fruits as snacks.
(2) Generally speaking, snacks with high nutritional value should be selected, such as fruits, dairy products and nuts. The nutrition provided can be used as a supplement to dinner. It is suggested to choose more fresh and natural snacks and eat less fried, sugary and salty snacks.
(3) Suggest that white water is the best drink, encourage drinking more white water and less sugary drinks, and develop good drinking habits. (4) Eat less lead-containing food, such as popcorn, preserved eggs, canned food, puffed food, food wrapped in newspapers, vegetables produced on both sides of the road, etc. Eat less snacks containing trans fatty acids, such as biscuits, sweets, cream cakes, ice cream, milk tea, egg yolk pie, instant noodles, breakfast cereals, fried foods and other snacks containing more trans fatty acids; Eat less high-calorie snacks, such as cola, candy, potato chips, fried food, chocolate, puffed food, fried chicken and various sweet drinks, which are all high-energy snacks.
How to arrange snacks: don't be too close to dinner. It is suggested that snacks should be arranged between meals. Snacks can also be eaten 2 to 3 hours after dinner, but it is not advisable to eat them half an hour before going to bed.
4. How do you think you should choose snacks?
Snacks can satisfy hunger, replenish physical strength and have a balanced diet, which is worth promoting. The key depends on how you choose.
When to eat?
Between meals: ten o'clock in the morning and around three o'clock in the afternoon. You are a little hungry at this time, so eating something won't affect your next meal.
Snacks first choice: nuts and fruits.
Fruit is the best snack. Many people find it troublesome to bring fruit, and they will buy packaged dried fruits and vegetables as snacks. Zeng Qingshan, the attending physician of the Nutrition Department of the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said that the packaged dried fruits (such as raisins and dried potatoes) have lost their nutrients after processing, which is definitely not as good as fresh fruits, but they can still be selectively eaten.
However, some dried fruit snacks are not suitable as office snacks because they add a lot of sugar or salt, or are made into banana slices and sugar raisins after frying.
Nuts are an essential choice for office snacks, such as peanuts, walnuts, broad beans, cashews, melon seeds and almonds. Nuts are rich in linoleic acid, which can help blood flow in the brain. They are also rich in protein and vegetable oil, which can make you full. In the same way, don't choose salt and fried, such as cashew nuts, fish-skin peanuts and strange beans.
Directly blacklisted: sugar
Swiss candy, chewing gum, cream candy and chocolate candy are all acceptable. If you put one in your mouth, many people in the workplace think that sugar can fill your stomach and replenish energy, which is wrong. The World Health Organization found that if people consume too much sugar for a long time, it will not only hinder the absorption of other vitamins and minerals, but also cause fat accumulation, fatigue and distraction. Eating sugar on an empty stomach, in particular, will affect the body's absorption of various protein. So, resolutely quit sugar!
Cookies are edible! Choose soda cake
Cookies are not all junk food. Zeng Qingshan suggested that you choose graham crackers and soda cookies. Biscuits, shortcakes and sandwich biscuits should be excluded from the snack list. Because these cookies are high in oil, salt and sugar, they are not good for your health, and they will make your weight rise quietly, which is definitely not the result you want.
Chocolate can be eaten! Choose dark chocolate
Among all chocolates, dark chocolate has the lowest sugar and fat content and high energy, which can satisfy hunger. Eating a chocolate when you are hungry is far more effective than cookies and cakes. Other kinds of milk chocolate, white chocolate, etc. It's all sweetened.
Cake can be eaten! Don't choose cheesecake.
Among cakes, bread and other cakes, Zeng Qingshan specially suggested that office snacks should not choose toast bread, cheesecake, cream cake, fried cake and so on. They will make you accidentally eat a lot of sugar and oil under the temptation of delicious food. You can choose whole wheat bread and coarse grain bread. Eating coarse grains is easy to digest and be healthy.
There are drinks! Yogurt and milk
You can choose yogurt and milk as office drinks. They are rich in calcium and protein, which can supplement energy and balance the lack of nutrition in dinner. There are many milk drinks on the market, which have a prominent taste, and added sugar, such as lactic acid drinks, which nutritionists do not recommend.
5. What should I pay attention to when buying snacks?
Pay attention to the following points when buying snacks: 1. Regular stores must go to regular stores to buy children's food. First of all, the quality is guaranteed, and children will not be harmed by some expired products.
In addition, parents and friends are advised not to covet material benefits and buy some discounted "three noes" products. Don't give children the opportunity to buy some unqualified snacks at the roadside canteen.
2. Choose a brand with good reputation. A dish with a good reputation should not be bad. Everyone should buy some products with good reputation, so that they can eat with peace of mind, because brands with good reputation will be relatively safe after time precipitation and public scrutiny. 3, carefully check the food label When buying food, you must pay attention to the food label, including some product name, net content, factory name, production date and other information.
If there is nothing unusual, you can buy it with confidence. 4. Can children eat some foods that are not suitable for children, such as jelly, because there are great security risks, so parents must pay more attention to whether children can eat when buying children's snacks.
5. Pay attention to information about children's food. Parents and friends should pay more attention to children's food safety information. For example, after doing some systematic work on children's food safety in China, parents can take it as a reference.
6. What should I pay attention to when buying food?
First look at the outer packaging bag. When buying food, you should carefully check the outer packaging bag of food to see if it is complete.
Second, look at the third food. The so-called three phases refer to the production date, shelf life and shelf life of food. In the process of inspection, it is best not to buy food near the shelf life. If the food you buy can't be eaten immediately, it will easily go bad beyond the time limit and bring you unnecessary losses. Many foods discounted in some shopping malls or supermarkets are foods near the shelf life, so don't buy them cheaply.
Third, see if there is no food. No producer, no place of origin and no date of production. Never buy such food.
Fourth, see if the food has the qs mark of quality certification. qs is the abbreviation of English quality safety, that is, "quality and safety". The first batch of foods subject to the market access system for food quality and safety includes rice, wheat flour, soy sauce, vinegar and edible vegetable oil, and the second batch of foods subject to the market access system for food quality and safety includes 10: meat products, dairy products, beverages, monosodium glutamate, instant noodles, biscuits, canned food, frozen drinks, quick-frozen rice-flour foods and puffed foods. The third batch of foods subject to food quality and safety market access system includes 13 candy products, tea, wine, fruit wine, beer, yellow wine, pickles, candied fruit, roasted seeds and nuts, egg products, cocoa products, processed aquatic products, starch and starch products.
Fifth, look at the business environment of food. When buying food, try to go to large shopping malls, supermarkets and shops with good quality and good reputation. Try not to buy foods sold in the open air, foods with poor operating conditions, foods with changed sensory characteristics, and food stalls.
6. When buying naked food, be sure to pay attention to whether the food is fresh.
Seven, when buying food, we should pay attention to ask for a shopping invoice. When the food you buy has quality problems, the shopping invoice is the key to your complaint and claim, and it is the basis of your * * *, so don't bother to ask for the shopping invoice.
7. What are the common sense of children's snack purchase?
1, puffed food.
Snowcake, potato chips, shrimp strips, shrimp slices, chicken strips, corncob ... These foods are brightly colored, eye-catching in packaging and eye-catching in advertisements, which are deeply loved by children. The main problems of unqualified puffed food products are bacterial pollution, such as excessive coliform bacteria and the increase of peroxide value caused by fat corruption in puffed food.
These can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and liver damage in children. National and local quality and technical supervision departments will conduct some tests regularly, and parents should pay attention to relevant information to avoid buying unqualified products.
When buying puffed food, you should choose products with complete labels such as product name, ingredient list, net content, factory name, address, production date, product standard and shelf life, and try to buy them in some reputable shopping malls and supermarkets. In order to prevent puffed food from being crushed by extrusion and prevent oil from being oxidized and rancid, many puffed food packaging bags should be filled with gas.
There are laws and regulations in Europe and America that require puffed food to be filled with nitrogen, which is clean, non-toxic and dry, which can ensure that puffed food does not change color and taste for a long time and is safe to eat. However, due to the lack of relevant laws and regulations in China, many manufacturers use compressed air. The water content of compressed air is higher than that of normal air, which will cause the puffed food in the bag to taste crisp. In the process of compressing air, the lubricating oil injected into the machine can also be atomized, sprayed into the packaging bag, attached to the inner wall of the packaging bag and stuck to the puffed food.
Therefore, when buying puffed food, you can rest assured if you find the words "filled with nitrogen" on the packaging bag. If the package is found to be leaking, it should not be purchased.
Reminder: Many children love to eat puffed food. Fat, carbohydrate and protein are the main components of puffed food.
Although puffed food tastes delicious, 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 who eat a lot of puffed food are prone to malnutrition, while the content of salt and monosodium glutamate in puffed food is generally high, which may easily lead to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. 2. cookies.
Cookies are divided into short biscuits, thin biscuits, cookies, sandwich biscuits, wafer biscuits, egg rolls and so on. Consumers should first choose products produced by large supermarkets and well-known enterprises when purchasing; Second, to buy products with good packaging quality, good product packaging can avoid secondary pollution caused by circulation; The third is to buy products within the warranty period, preferably products produced recently.
3. jelly. Jelly is children's favorite food. Because of rich profits and relatively simple processing, many small enterprises have joined the production team, which has enabled this kind of products to develop rapidly, but it has also brought the problem of uneven product quality.
When buying jelly, first, choose products with complete labels such as product name, ingredient list, net content, factory name, address, production date, product standard and shelf life, and try to buy them in some reputable shopping malls and supermarkets to ensure better product quality; Second, it depends on the color of jelly. Those brightly colored jellies often add more pigments. Although they are attractive, it is harmful for children to eat too much. Third, it depends on whether preservatives and sweeteners are added to the ingredients. Preservatives and sweeteners in products are synthetic additives, and eating too much is also harmful. 4. Candy.
When purchasing candy, we should start from the following aspects: the appearance and color of candy should be normal, uniform and bright, with pure aroma and moderate taste, and there should be no other peculiar smell; Candy should have a straight appearance, neat edges, no corner cracks, smooth surface, clear patterns, uniform size and thickness, and no obvious deformation; Candy should have no visible impurities. Hard candy: the tissue surface of hard and crisp candy should be bright and transparent, free of sticky wrapping paper, big bubbles and impurities; Crispy sugar should be white or have the proper color of the variety, crisp, non-sticky, non-sticky, with uniform pores on the outline.
Milk candy: Colloidal candy should have smooth surface, delicate and smooth taste, moderate hardness, non-stick teeth, non-stick paper and elasticity; Non-chewing gum candy has fine surface, uniform crystallization, no roughness, moderate hardness and no sticking to teeth and paper. Soft candy: Agarose is soft and moderate, non-sticky and has no hard skin. Among them, crystal soft candy is bright and transparent, neither soft nor elastic, and the surface of colored soft candy is covered with fine sugar, which is soft and refreshing. Pectin starch sugar is tough and soft in taste, non-sticky to teeth and paper, and slightly chewy. The surface of sugar is covered with uniform fine sand particles, and the sugar body is translucent. Sorghum molasses is elastic, and it can be retracted when stretched by half. Gelatin candy has smooth and delicate surface, no wrinkled skin and bubbles, elasticity and soft entrance.
Sandwich candy: the sugar skin of crisp candy is uniform in thickness, non-stick to teeth and paper, without broken skin and exposed stuffing, loose and crisp, with neat mercerized lines and distinct layers of sandwich; The thickness of the sugar in the sauce is even, and it does not stick to teeth or paper, and there is no broken skin and exposed stuffing, and the skin is crisp and the stuffing is delicate; The powdered candy is even in thickness, crisp in skin, non-sticky to teeth and paper, and does not break the skin or leak the heart. Pure chocolate candy: the surface is smooth, shiny, non-whitish, the profile is dense, there are no obvious pores above 1mm, and the taste is delicate, smooth, lifeless and not rough.
Sandwich chocolate candy: the surface is smooth, shiny, not white, and the coating is even, not too thick or too thin. All kinds of chocolate candy have their own unique taste. Reminder: Sick babies eat less sugar.
Eating too many sweets will adversely affect the immunity of sick children. This is the truth of the argument of traditional Chinese medicine that "it hurts the spleen". Under normal circumstances, the average phagocytic capacity of a white blood cell in human blood is 14, which is 10 when eating a sugar steamed bread, 5 when eating a candy snack, 2 when eating a cream chocolate, and 1 when drinking a cup of banana sweet soup.
It can be seen that sweets are harmful to immunity.
