Matters needing attention in children's diet in summer
First, drink a small amount of water many times.
Children are in an active period and are more likely to lose water unconsciously. In order to meet the needs of human metabolism, drinking more water is particularly important in summer.
Correct drinking points:
1, appropriate amount of water for many times.
Don't wait until you feel thirsty before you gulp down water. A large amount of water at one time will dilute gastric acid and reduce gastric juice, which is not conducive to the digestion and sterilization of food. Parents should urge children to replenish water from time to time, no more than 200 ml at a time, to help children's body fill with water.
2. Never drink ice water on an empty stomach.
As we all know, the first food to eat after getting up in the morning should be water. However, people like to eat cold drinks in summer, especially when they are thirsty after a night's consumption. At this time, it is forbidden to drink ice water on an empty stomach. Children's gastrointestinal mucosa is tender and rich in blood vessels. When ice water enters an empty stomach, it will cause gastrointestinal vasoconstriction, and the secretion of gastric acid, gastric juice and digestive juice will decrease, which will affect digestion and appetite. Strong cold stimulation will increase intestinal peristalsis, produce intestinal spasm, and cause abdominal pain, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, a cup of warm water in the morning can not only warm the intestines, but also replenish water.
Second, add more salt and less sugar
Children love cold drinks, and sweet ice cream and sugary drinks are their first choice.
However, in summer, sweat is seriously lost, which contains salt, which leads to electrolyte imbalance in the body, affects metabolism and makes people tired. Therefore, salt should be supplemented in summer, and sugar intake should be limited at the same time. Eating more sweets keeps the blood sugar in the body at a high concentration, reducing appetite, which not only affects the nutritional intake of normal meals, but also brings dental caries and obesity. The simple way is to add a little salt to warm water.
Third, eat more fruits and vegetables and fry less greasy.
Children's diet in summer should focus on quality rather than weight. Nutrition should be rich, fresh fruits and vegetables can be the main food, and cooking should be light and easy to digest. At the same time, supplement the right amount of high-quality protein such as milk, eggs, lean meat and fish. For example, oatmeal with milk and fruit for breakfast is nutritious and easy to digest, and can provide energy for a long time to ensure daily needs.
However, high protein, high fat, and fried greasy food should adhere to the principle of eating less. Too much high-fat and high-protein food is not easy to digest, and the accumulation of stomach and intestines causes abdominal distension and discomfort, and the demand for oxygen supply in the stomach is large, but it makes the brain lack of oxygen, causing inattention and physical and mental fatigue.
