If the baby often eats some such snacks, in the long run, it may have an impact on the baby's growth and development. Below, let's take a look at four kinds of unhealthy snacks that children often eat to see if your children are still eating.
1, potato chips:
Potato chips are crispy and delicious, which is a favorite snack for many children. However, after potato chips are fried at high temperature, the nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are not only destroyed, but also absorb a lot of oil, which is extremely energy-intensive, and babies tend to get fat if they eat it often.
At the same time, under high temperature conditions, some carcinogens such as acrylamide will be generated. The baby's physical development is incomplete and his detoxification ability is relatively poor. If you ingest harmful substances such as acrylamide for a long time, it may cause harm to your body.
2. Sweet drinks:
When it comes to sweet drinks, almost no children don't like them. Compared with boiled water, it is sour and sweet, and all kinds of drinks are children's favorite. But the sweetness of sweet drinks comes at a price, and the sweetness comes from a lot of sugar.
3. Chocolate:
For adults, dark chocolate contains certain beneficial substances, so when we want to eat chocolate, we should try to choose high-purity dark chocolate. But the higher the purity of chocolate, the more bitter it tastes, and children generally don't like this taste.
They often like chocolate with a lot of sugar and sweet taste, but this kind of chocolate is super high in energy, and 50g of calories is equivalent to half a bowl of rice. In particular, chocolate, which replaces cocoa butter, has almost no beneficial ingredients of chocolate, but is composed of a large number of trans fatty acids, sugar, flavors and so on. This is completely harmful to the baby.
4. Jelly:
On the supermarket shelves, colorful and various shapes of jelly are also the favorite of many babies, but we recommend that babies under 3 years old should not eat jelly. On the one hand, jelly is almost sugar water with a lot of thickener, and some food additives such as pigments, flavors and preservatives are added, so it has no nutrition at all.
On the other hand, children's swallowing function is not as good as that of adults, and the whole jelly can easily cause the baby to get stuck in the throat, thus causing suffocation and endangering the child's life, so parents must not choose jelly as a snack for their children.
