1, children should eat less food.
1. Contaminated food
The harm caused by food pollution, especially nitrite, aflatoxin, pesticides and heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, is hard to blame. It is found that nitrate in food can be transformed into carcinogen nitrite after entering the body. Aflatoxin is a major culprit in inducing tumors (especially liver cancer). Some people feed small animals with moldy feed (rich in aflatoxin) and get liver cancer in just three months. Pesticide residues in food sneak into human body and accumulate, which can damage organs such as liver, brain and kidney, and even cause acute poisoning death. You see, the harm of food pollution is terrible.
Countermeasures: First of all, we should skillfully choose children's food, and choose those foods with no pesticide pollution, mildew and low nitrate content, such as rice, flour, beans, celery, onion, garlic, leek, potato, radish and sweet potato. Vegetables suspected of being contaminated by pesticides can be treated with ozone antidote, or soaked in vegetable cleaning agent or baking soda, and then rinsed with plenty of water. Root vegetables and fruits should be peeled before cooking or eating directly to maintain children's health.
2. nourishing
The little girl has just turned 5 years old. She looks lively and lovely, but she is thin. In 2008, parents tried their best to find out the secret of weight gain. Later, I saw an advertisement in the newspaper, saying that pollen preparation not only nourishes the body, but also strengthens the brain and improves intelligence. I was overjoyed and immediately bought it and gave it to my child according to the instructions on the drug label. Unexpectedly, 20 days later, both sides of the child's breasts grew out, scaring parents to take their daughter to the hospital in a hurry. The expert's diagnosis is precocious puberty, and the culprit is pollen supplements.
Countermeasures: Treat supplements with a normal mind and refuse misleading advertising. Experts suggest that children under the age of 5 do not accept supplements, and doctors should decide on the basis of specific conditions for those over the age of 5.
3. Candy shop
Candy food tastes good, and sweets and snacks with exquisite packaging and exquisite workmanship abound, which has become another "irresistible temptation" for children. However, the long-term craving for sugary food will bring mental health problems to children and make them feel abnormal, which is manifested in excitement and crying, tearing books and destroying things, losing their temper, fighting and so on, which is called "sugar-loving mental irritability" in medicine.
Studies have shown that due to excessive sugar intake, a large amount of vitamin B is consumed by helping sugar metabolism, resulting in vitamin B 1 deficiency in the nervous system, resulting in the above symptoms.
Countermeasures: Limit sweets and reduce snacks. The ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrate in three meals should be maintained at 1: 3: 6.
4. Fine food
Nowadays, many families pursue "food is never tired of essence" and regard eating polished rice and white flour as fashion. Medical experts don't think so They believe that eating too fine food for a long time will not only reduce the intake of B vitamins, but also affect the development of the nervous system, and will also affect vision because of the loss of too much chromium. It has been proved that chromium deficiency is a major cause of myopia.
It turns out that chromium is a cofactor of insulin, an important hormone in human body. Its insufficient amount can reduce the activity of insulin and the ability to regulate blood sugar, so that the sugar in food can not be metabolized normally and stays in the blood, which leads to the change of diopter of eyes and eventually forms myopia.
Countermeasures: arrange a certain amount of coarse grain brown rice for children and supplement enough chromium.
Chocolate
Although chocolate is a kind of food with a long history, it has been paid more and more attention and advocated by health care experts because of its various health care functions (such as protecting the heart, preventing cancer, losing weight and invigorating the mood, etc.). ), so it has gradually become a fashionable food. However, it should be noted that children should be properly restricted, otherwise it is easy to become attached to enuresis.
An American doctor of medicine explained that chocolate can cause allergic reactions in children, swelling the bladder wall, reducing the volume, coarsening the smooth muscle and causing spasms. At the same time, this allergic reaction makes children sleep too deeply and can't wake up in time when they are full of urine, thus causing bed wetting. As children enter adolescence, chocolate no longer produces allergic reactions, and enuresis can disappear.
Countermeasures: In childhood, you should eat less or not eat chocolate before going to bed.
6. dried fish fillets
Dried fish fillets are made of sea fish. They are rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients, and they are delicious, which parents are happy to buy and children are happy to eat. However, it should be noted that there is an element called fluorine in dried fish, and the content is often too high. According to the determination, the fluorine in dried fish is more than 2,400 times that of cattle, sheep and pork, and more than 4,800 times that of fruits and vegetables. However, the daily physiological requirement of human body for fluorine is only 1 mg- 1. 5 mg, so the safe limit of fluoride intake from food every day should not exceed 4 mg -6 mg. If it exceeds this limit, fluoride will accumulate in the body, which will cause chronic fluorosis over time and make the teeth rough and dull.
Countermeasures: In order to let children have a white and neat "jade teeth", dried fish must be limited, and children must not be allowed to eat in large quantities all the year round.
cold drink
In summer, many children can't live without cold drinks, such as popsicles and ice cream. As we all know, children's intestines are longer and thinner than adults, and their mesentery is slack and their fixation ability is poor. Once stimulated by cold drinks, it can lead to intestinal smooth muscle spasm and peristalsis, which in turn leads to intussusception, intestinal obstruction and life-threatening. So, don't let your baby refuse cold drinks.
Countermeasures: children should be careful when eating cold drinks in summer, and avoid indulgence to prevent accidents. In case of abdominal pain, vomiting and other symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately.
8. Instant noodles
Instant noodles are one of the popular fast food at present, and its making method is also imported from abroad. In order to distinguish it from foreign fast food such as McDonald's and KFC, we might as well call it "local fast food". This "local fast food" is composed of fried noodles, salt and monosodium glutamate. Its biggest disadvantage is the lack of protein, fat, vitamins and trace elements, which are exactly the necessary nutrients for children's growth and development.
Countermeasures: instant noodles should not be allowed to become children's staple food, otherwise it will induce malnutrition and endanger children's physical and intellectual development.
9. Soymilk
Soy milk, as the best substitute for infant feeding, has not been questioned for many years, but in recent years, there have been continuous research reports pointing out the disadvantages of soy milk for infants. First of all, people engaged in the research on genetically modified agricultural products and human health in the United States found that children who grew up eating soybean milk had an increased risk factor of thyroid and reproductive system diseases in adulthood, because infants reacted differently to the high content of phytoestrogens in soybeans. Only 5% of phytohormones ingested by infants can bind to estrogen receptors, and the remaining phytoestrogens accumulate in the body, which may lay a hidden danger for future sexual development. According to some data, children who grow up drinking soy milk have 2-3 times the risk of breast cancer in the future. Subsequently, it has been reported that the manganese content in soybean milk and soybean milk substitutes is 50 times higher than that in breast milk. Excessive absorption of manganese will affect the brain development of infants under 6 months, thus increasing the possibility of suffering from attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder and adolescent violent impulse in the future.
Countermeasures: Advocate breastfeeding, and it is best for infants, especially those under 6 months, not to drink soy milk.
10. Carcinogenic food
Improper diet may put children at risk of cancer from an early age, so let children eat less cancer-causing food. Among them, nitrite and aflatoxin are carcinogens that are easy to eat, so be especially careful. Many studies have found that children who eat nitrite-containing foods such as ham, bacon, sausage and hot dogs more than once a week will increase their risk of leukemia by 70%. Aflatoxin may induce liver cancer. Peanuts, corn, grains, etc. stored improperly in a humid climate. Easy to produce.
Countermeasures: Foods containing nitrite, such as ham, bacon, sausage and hot dog, and some foods preserved by moldy procedures, such as bean paste, tofu, stinky tofu, salted eggs and salted fish, are also easily contaminated by aflatoxin, so try to eat less.
1 1. high-fat food
Too much fat is not only easy to cause obesity and many chronic diseases, but also can eat environmental hormones, cause cell pathological changes and affect reproductive capacity. In addition, trans fatty acids should also attract more attention. This fat not only increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also is associated with diabetes and colorectal cancer. Australian studies have found that trans fats can also affect children's IQ, which is common in margarine, cakes, biscuits and potato chips.
Countermeasures: reduce oil and let children eat less greasy food, such as cream cakes, biscuits, fried chicken and so on.
12. Foreign fast food
In recent years, foreign fast food has become popular in China. Because of its good dining environment, novel dining style and attractive flavor, it is deeply loved by children. In order to cater to children's tastes, some parents do not hesitate to give generously to meet their requirements. However, the problem is coming. Many children become "fat" because they are overweight. However, "chubby children" are easily associated with many "civilized diseases" such as hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver and obese brain, which seriously harms their physical and intellectual development.
Countermeasures: take your baby to foreign fast food restaurants less, and educate your baby that if you eat too much, it will become chubby and ugly.
2. Children need to know a balanced diet.
① Appropriate dosage
The intake of any meal should be kept within a reasonable range, no matter how nutritious this meal is, how much children like it, or how much children don't like another meal. Too much is too little, and the intake of a single dietary category, whether too much or too little, is not conducive to health.
② Appropriate proportion
Children's bodies need a certain proportion of various nutrients. For example, children at the peak of growth and development need to supplement a higher proportion of trace elements such as calcium, zinc and iron. These nutrients should be obtained through diet as far as possible, and the diet should be matched in proportion according to actual needs.
③ Appropriate varieties.
Children's dietary varieties should be properly matched to ensure diversification and control within the range that children's stomach can bear. A balanced diet should include six kinds of nutrition: eggs, milk, fruits, grains, fats and vegetables.
