Selection of children's snacks
As the pace of the summer approached, the weather became hotter. The ice cream, which had a good effect on summer heat, began to be on the children's snack list. But ice cream is a very unhealthy snack. Parents should try to eat as little as possible.
For younger children, gastrointestinal function is of course not very sound. Too much ice cream can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases and also damage the teeth. The temperature of ice cream is very low. After the baby eats ice cream, the gastric mucosa is easily stimulated by over-cooling, which makes the blood vessels strongly contract, which leads to baby's gastric secretion disorder. The secretion of gastric acid, gastric enzymes, etc. drastically decreased, and the digestive, bactericidal, and immune abilities of the stomach were greatly reduced. In addition, the baby's gastric mucosa is very delicate, it is easy to cause "cold gastritis," the baby will appear bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion embolism. There is also a situation in which parents must pay special attention to the fact that if the baby fails to eat ice cream, it can also cause bacterial gastrointestinal diseases. Excessive eating of ice cream in the baby can also affect the development of children's teeth, especially in the changing period of the baby. So parents must control the amount of ice cream they eat.
Nutrition experts: choose snacks for children
Children like to eat snacks. How should parents choose healthy snacks for their children? Chen Chaogang, director of the Nutrition Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, pointed out that the “Guidebook for consumption of snacks for children and adolescents†divides the existing snacks in China into three grades, namely, “can be eaten regularlyâ€, “appropriately eatenâ€, and “restricted consumptionâ€.
