eating habits

1. Have a good breakfast. Many people skip breakfast, sleep late and get up in a hurry to go to work. In fact, breakfast is very important, which can not only supplement the nutrition taken in the evening, but also provide the energy needed for the whole morning activities. So, not only eat breakfast, but also eat well. As long as you go to bed an hour earlier at night, you can get up half an hour earlier in the morning, and you still have time to make breakfast.

2. Develop the habit of chewing slowly. Eating leisurely and chewing food fully can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and help digestion and absorption. Some people like to wolf down their meals, so food may not be chewed, which will increase the burden on the digestive system.

3. Not picky about food, not partial eclipse. Some people only like to eat big fish and meat, while others are vegetarian all the year round. Some children like fried, barbecued and spicy food. Such a diet is easy to cause vitamin deficiency, dry eyes, oral ulcers and so on. It is also easy to cause nutrient deficiency or excess, which is harmful to health.

4. Eat less snacks, especially children. Eating snacks anytime and anywhere will keep the stomach working and get no rest. This irregular eating makes it difficult for children to feel hungry. Naturally, they will not develop a good appetite during three meals, and they will not get enough nutrition, and their bodies will become weak and sick.

Some friends have a good appetite. When you meet your favorite food, eat it hard and develop the habit of overeating. The digestive ability of gastrointestinal tract to food is limited. Eating too much can easily lead to indigestion and stomach injury, so don't overeat. Just eat until you are seven or eight full.

6. As long as you have a balanced diet, the nutrition you take from food can meet your body's needs. Most of us don't need to take any supplements. Growing children should pay attention to the quality of three meals and don't expect to take supplements to keep fit. Children who take supplements will have the hidden danger of precocious puberty.

7. Drink water when you are thirsty. Nowadays, many children don't drink water, but drink milk and drinks when they are thirsty. Water is the source of life, and it is best to give pure water when the body needs it. Milk is not easy to drink on an empty stomach, and drinks contain too much sugar and additives to replace water.

8. Eat while reading and watching TV. These are all bad eating habits. Eating quietly and happily is a good eating habit. Turn off the TV when eating, throw away books and mobile phones, and have a relaxing meal.

9. Barbecues, spicy food, cold drinks and sweets have become many people's leisure snacks because of their refreshing taste. Eating less can regulate appetite, but if you eat it every day, every month and every year, it will be bad for your health. Therefore, enough is enough. Never drink too much. Children should pay special attention. Don't let it happen.
