The baby's health is something that every family attaches great importance to, and the baby's diet cannot be unified with adults. What do babies eat? How do you reasonably match your baby's diet in your life? Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to the importance of a healthy diet for your baby's growth!
Three principles of baby's healthy diet in winter
Reasonable diet can improve nutritional status, improve human immune function and promote the recovery of sick body; At the same time, it can also promote metabolism and improve the phenomenon of chills; In addition, it can also regulate the metabolism of substances in the body, so that the energy converted from nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, laying a good foundation for good health.
Because children's resistance is much lower than that of adults, how to arrange their baby's winter diet and let their baby grow up healthily is a headache for mothers. In winter, we should choose the right food according to the children's gastrointestinal function, and pay attention to cooking methods.
The baby's winter diet should have certain principles.
First, reasonable intake of high-protein and high-fat foods.
In winter, some mothers take it for granted that babies need more high-protein and high-fat foods to resist the cold. According to modern scientific research, in the cold climate, the endocrine system of the human body has also been fully mobilized, and the heat production capacity of the human body has increased. Therefore, the energy required by the baby in winter is not much different from other seasons. There is no need to increase your baby's food intake. You can give your baby some eggs, fish, milk, poultry, beans and other foods in moderation.
Second, pay attention to vitamin supplementation.
When the weather is cold, the baby's outdoor activities are reduced, and the time to receive outdoor sunlight is shorter, which is more prone to vitamin D deficiency. The cold climate accelerates the oxidation function of the human body, and the metabolism of vitamin B 1 and B2 is also obviously accelerated, so it is necessary to pay attention to supplementing vitamin B 1 and B2 in time in the baby's diet. Vitamin A can enhance the cold tolerance of human body, and vitamin C can improve the adaptability of human body to cold, which has a good protective effect on blood vessels. Therefore, in winter, you should consciously give your baby more foods rich in vitamins, such as animal liver, cod liver oil, egg yolk, lean meat, rice, flour, corn, various fresh vegetables, citrus fruits, almonds, mung beans, red beans and milk.
Third, inorganic salts can not be ignored.
Medical research shows that if the body lacks inorganic salts, it is easy to feel cold. In order to help the baby resist the cold, it is suggested that the mother let the baby eat more root vegetables in winter, such as carrots, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes and lotus roots. These vegetables contain more inorganic salts.
Ten Taboos of Infant Diet
In the process of raising a baby, it is easy for parents to walk into the restricted area and bring unnecessary harm to the baby's health. Zhou, the chief physician of pediatrics in the Second Affiliated Hospital, believes that there are ten taboos in children's diet.
Avoid eating too much. Some parents indulge their children too much. They give whatever they want and how much they want. As a result, they cause "food accumulation", damage the spleen and stomach and cause diseases. If you want your child to be healthy, you must rely on a reasonable diet, that is, eat food that can meet the needs of physical growth and have a balanced diet.
Avoid eating all the time. Feeding children whenever they want can easily lead to digestive disorders, so it is necessary to develop the habit of eating on time.
Avoid partial eclipse. Some parents let their children be picky eaters and partial eclipse at will, which will lead to unbalanced nutrition and hinder growth and development.
Avoid foods that are too salty. Because the child's kidney is immature and can't rule out too much sodium in the blood, it is easy to be damaged.
Avoid eating snacks. If children often eat snacks, the gastrointestinal tract should secrete digestive juice at any time, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion.
Avoid swallowing. If you don't chew slowly when eating, it will cause indigestion. Chewing food fully, for children, is also conducive to the development of jaws, increasing the resistance of teeth and periodontal tissue.
Avoid eating before bed. Digestive organs should rest at night. If you continue to work forcibly, it will affect the quality of sleep. Excessive food will also make the stomach press the diaphragm and overload the heart.
Avoid eating cold and irritating food. Eating too many cold drinks and fruits is easy to have diarrhea. Eating too much candy and fried food will lead to food accumulation. Children's diet should be light, soft and broken.
Avoid talking about food hygiene. You must pay attention to food hygiene and wash your hands before and after meals.
Avoid teaching children at the dinner table. Some parents like to teach their children a lesson while they are eating. As soon as they pick up chopsticks, they will express their emotions. In this way, the child's cerebral cortex will be stimulated, which will affect the normal secretion of digestive juice and reduce appetite.
Six wrong ways of baby's diet
The healthy growth of the baby is inseparable from the careful care of parents, and it is inseparable from nutritious and healthy food. What does the baby eat that is the most nutritious and healthy, and is most conducive to growth?
Many mothers think that as long as it is good, of course, the more you eat, the better. This is why neglected babies should eat it. No, I collected six common baby diets. After reading them, maybe parents will exclaim: it's all wrong!
Myth 1: Eggs are rich in nutrition, so it's no problem to eat more.
We all know that eggs are a good thing. Egg food is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins, which is beneficial to the baby's growth, but eating too much will bring bad consequences to the baby.
Nutrition experts believe that children aged 65,438+0-65,438+0.5 only eat egg yolk, not more than one a day. When the baby 1.5 -2 years old, you can eat an egg (including yolk and protein) every other day. When I was older, I could only eat two eggs a day.
If the mother finds a substance similar to protein in the baby's feces, it means that the baby's stomach is not good enough to absorb protein. For these babies, it is best to add egg yolk to other foods and feed them together. If the baby is having a rash, it is more important to pay attention not to eat eggs for the time being, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach.
Myth 2: Drinking high-concentration sugar water helps to replenish physical fitness.
Some parents have heard that sugar can supplement the lack of carbohydrates and heat energy in the body, so when they are free, they will give their baby some sugar water or add sugar to milk. The sweeter the better.
In fact, the concentration of sugar water is too high. On the one hand, it is easy to satisfy appetite and stimulate diarrhea and indigestion in the gastrointestinal tract, so the baby is unwilling to eat other foods, resulting in loss of appetite. In the long run, it will lead to nutritional imbalance and even malnutrition.
On the other hand, because of the high carbohydrate content in sugar, when it is eaten for a long time, when the calories it supplies exceed the body's needs, it will be converted into fat and stored in the body, which will lead to the child's weight gain, muscle relaxation and obesity. In addition, after sugar is dissolved in the mouth, it may corrode the teeth and make the baby prone to dental caries. So we don't advocate letting children drink high-concentration sugar water.
Therefore, for the sake of your baby's health, don't do the code of drinking concentrated sugar water for your baby.
Myth 3: There are many benefits for babies to drink tea.
People in China like to drink tea, because tea contains many substances beneficial to human body, such as tannic acid, folic acid, vitamins, protein and minerals, as well as theophylline and caffeine. Therefore, drinking tea properly is good for the human body. However, drinking tea for babies is another matter.
There is no harm in giving your baby a small amount of light tea, but if you drink tea or strong tea regularly, it will have a certain impact on their health. Caffeine in tea has an exciting effect on central nervous system. After drinking strong tea, children are prone to lack of sleep, excessive energy and increased physical consumption, which affects their growth and development.
A substance called tannic acid in tea can combine with protein in food, thus affecting appetite and absorption of nutrients. Children suffer from indigestion and emaciation. Excessive drinking tea will also increase the burden on the heart due to excessive water.
Myth 4: Chewed food is easy to digest and absorb.
Some parents think that the baby's gastrointestinal function is not yet mature, and it is easier to digest and absorb by feeding them chewed food. Besides, they grew up in such an urgent need, and now they are still alive and kicking. In fact, this is an unscientific and unhygienic feeding method.
The human mouth itself is an environment rich in bacteria. Feeding children with chewed food is easy to transmit bacteria from adults' mouths to children, thus causing infection. In fact, when the baby has good ability to chew and digest food, parents should let the baby chew food by himself, which will not only promote the growth of his teeth, but also help cultivate their good habits of chewing and swallowing. However, it should be noted that it is necessary to avoid feeding the baby hard, rough, greasy or too irritating food.
Myth 5: The thicker the milk powder, the more nutrients it contains.
When feeding baby products, I believe that many parents who are not very sensible will be silly and naive to think that the thicker the milk powder, the more nutrients it will be, and the more beneficial it will be to the baby's growth and development. Therefore, they often like to feed their babies with high concentration of milk powder. Wake up, parents. It is true that babies grow and develop rapidly and have a particularly high demand for energy and nutrition, but on the other hand, it should be noted that their gastrointestinal development is still immature and their tolerance for energy and nutrition is relatively poor.
If the formula of milk powder is too thin, it is easy to cause malnutrition, but if the formula is too thick, it may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, lead to digestive dysfunction, flatulence and other problems, and also affect the baby's growth and development. Therefore, we emphasize that when preparing milk powder, we should choose the appropriate concentration according to the detailed preparation instructions on the milk powder can.
Myth 6: Health products are good for health.
Many parents who love their children think that bee milk and ginseng are advanced nutrients. In order to make children healthier, they are given some when they eat and drink water every day, and some even give their children milk instead of milk.
Although infant nutrition is the key to individual growth and development, these supplements all contain a certain amount of hormones, the concentration of which is 8-34 times that of normal undeveloped children. Even some varieties of "special supplements for children" cannot rule out the possibility of containing similar sex hormones and gonadotropins. When children ingest these exogenous sex hormones, they are likely to have precocious puberty.
Conclusion: The healthy growth of the baby is the wish of every parent, but during the baby's growth, everyone should pay attention to providing the baby with a comprehensive and balanced diet! I hope that the common sense of these babies' diets introduced above can help everyone!
