Children's healthy diet

First of all, we should eat a variety of foods. We should not be picky or partial eaters. No food in the world can provide all the nutrients the human body needs. Therefore, we must eat a variety of foods. Any picky or partial eater will hinder us from obtaining comprehensive nutrition. Some children are only picky about individual foods. Parents can choose other foods from the same food group. However, if they are picky or partial to food, such as not eating meat or vegetables, they must be corrected. The daily menu should include five nutritional food groups, one of which is indispensable.

Secondly, we should eat a light diet instead of high-energy food such as fried food, candy ice cream and sugary drinks. More than half of children's total heat energy in a day should come from grain, about 1 / 6 from protein, and only 1 / 4 from fat. Excessive intake of heavy oil or sugar will not only lead to excessive heat energy intake, but also lead to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and coronary heart disease In addition, it is difficult to digest because it is too sweet and greasy, and it affects the digestive function due to the lack of dietary fiber, causing digestive tract diseases, such as constipation, gastritis and so on.

Finally, we should choose the food suitable for our own physique. We should not only choose the food according to the taste. Food can raise people or hurt people. For example, children with spleen and stomach deficiency can learn to cause gastrointestinal discomfort or diarrhea by eating raw and cold food. Children with severe internal heat like fried food or mutton hot pot often cause mouth ulcer or dry stool. This is because the food attribute is not consistent with children's constitution. Parents should be familiar with the cool and warm properties of food, provide food consistent with their children's physique, and adjust food according to the changing seasons.
