During the preparation period, students are very hard, not only have to review their lessons seriously, but also have great mental pressure. Many parents don't know how to arrange their children's three meals a day, and often fall into various misunderstandings. Professor Tang Qingya, Professor Cai Meiqin, Director of Nutrition Department of Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, Chairman of Psychosomatic Professional Committee of Chinese Medical Association, Professor He Yumin of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Professor Wang Qun of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Professor of Shanghai Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine gave suggestions on the dietary arrangement of candidates.
Three meals are balanced in nutrition.
How to eat correctly? This is very important for senior three students, and the nutrition of three meals should be balanced; Be light, nourish the stomach, strengthen the brain and promote sleep, and don't take too much tonic.
First, the nutrition should be balanced and the combination of meat and vegetables should be reasonable. Professor Wang Qun particularly emphasized this point. During the college entrance examination, the diet should not be too greasy, and meat and vegetables should be reasonably matched. "One bite of meat, two bites of rice, three bites of vegetables and four bites of fruit" is more appropriate.
Second, the arrangement between two meals should be treated differently. Professor Tang Qingya believes that some meat dishes can be eaten properly for lunch, and there is no need to deliberately reduce the consumption for dinner. Breakfast can be based on carbohydrate staple foods, such as porridge, rice noodles, etc., which directly provide nutrition to the brain; Lunch can be supplemented with some foods rich in high-quality protein; It is generally recommended to eat something light and easy to digest and nourish the stomach for dinner.
Third, you can eat some brain-nourishing foods, such as fish, milk and eggs, as well as fresh vegetables, melons and fruits. In addition, Professor He Yumin also suggested not to eat too much food with high sugar content.
Fourth, the variety of food can be rich, and the cooking methods should be diversified. Professor Cai Meiqin believes that parents can properly adjust the taste and type of food, or try some different cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling and frying. And pay attention to less spicy seasoning.
Three misunderstandings in sprint period.
■ Misunderstanding 1. The child worked hard in the exam and prepared big fish and big meat to make up for it.
Some parents bought a lot of meat food and planned to equip their children with the most nutritious meals for three days in the college entrance examination.
However, experts believe that children should not eat too much fish and meat, but should supplement more vegetables, fruits and dairy products. If you eat a lot of meaty food, it may be counterproductive, increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, which is not easy to digest and is not conducive to blood supply to the brain. In the long run, it will have a certain impact on children's health.
■ Misunderstanding 2. The recipe changes too much, regardless of the child's usual eating habits.
Some parents plan to change a method that was not commonly used at home before, and give their children a taste to add a little freshness.
Professor Cai Meiqin pointed out that it is counterproductive for some parents to ignore their children's usual eating habits. For example, some children usually prefer to eat meat. At this time, it suddenly becomes very light, which will disrupt the usual habits; Some children usually eat very little. At this time, in order to seek tonic, eating very greasy at once is actually bad for your health.
■ Misunderstanding 3. Buy a lot of supplements to supplement nutrition.
Some parents bought a lot of nutrition and health products for their children, as well as soft-shelled turtle, black-bone chicken and other foods, ready to stew soup for their children.
Such a big supplement was denied by experts. Experts say that if you eat too much tonic, candidates will have diarrhea, allergies, colds and excessive internal heat, which is also very unfavorable to children's health and must be taken seriously.
If you really need to take it, you should also pay attention to a degree problem and control your intake.
Kiwi and yogurt are eaten together to supplement nutrition.
As we all know, the nutritional value of fruit is very high, so many parents often choose various fruits as snacks or supper in order to improve their children's immunity and strengthen nutrition. In this regard, Professor Cai Meiqin suggested that "a small amount of variety" is the best way to supplement nutrition.
First of all, the varieties of meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, dairy products and other foods should be diversified every day, with more than 5 kinds of vegetables and more than 2 kinds of fruits. Because different foods contain different nutrients, for example, meat is rich in fat and protein, while fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals. Only by ensuring a diversified diet can we ensure a balanced and comprehensive nutrition.
Secondly, it should be small and varied. In addition to the normal dinner, you can eat snacks at 10 am and around 4 pm respectively, mainly dairy products and fruits. It is especially recommended to eat kiwi fruit and yogurt at the same time. Kiwifruit is rich in vitamin C and magnesium, low in sodium and high in potassium, and it is also a good source of dietary fiber with high nutritional density.
Fruit is rich in vitamins and a lot of dietary fiber, and its nutritional value is very high. Eating regularly can really promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation and improve your immunity. However, for some parents who are used to using fruits to supplement extra nutrition for candidates, Professor Cai Meiqin believes that college entrance examination candidates should pay special attention to the following points:
First of all, don't eat too much at once. For example, eating half a watermelon at a time will not only lead to obesity, but also affect candidates' appetite for other foods. Moreover, watermelon is a cool fruit, and eating too much may cause diarrhea. The amount of 200~300 grams per day is more appropriate.
Secondly, we must ensure the diversification of fruits. We can slice apples, bananas, kiwis and pitaya or cut them into plates to eat together, so that the nutrition is more balanced and comprehensive.
In addition, pay attention to the time to eat fruit. We shouldn't eat it immediately after a meal, let alone at dinner. The best time to eat fruit is 2 hours before or after meals.
