Full-time kindergartens generally arrange children to have a meal at two o'clock or two meals at two o'clock in the park. In other words, a large proportion of children's nutrition in a day is in kindergartens. In addition, the parents of young children are basically working families, and they don't have much energy to make nutritious food for their children. Therefore, it is particularly important to make nutritious meals in full-time kindergartens.
How to make children get reasonable nutrition and grow up healthily? Practice:
First, establish a fully staffed food committee.
In order to scientifically allocate children's meals, a food committee composed of kindergarten leaders, health care teachers, cooking squad leaders, accountants, leaders of all grades and representatives of parents' committees was established. Every Friday, the staff of the Food Committee will hold a centralized meeting, and the health care teacher will make the food analysis of last week, put forward the shortcomings, and then discuss together, put forward the improvement methods, and work out the nutritional recipes for next week. Every month, the health care teacher will conduct a comprehensive nutritional analysis of the children's food.
Secondly, scientifically allocate and improve the nutritional value of food.
The nutritional needs of children and adults are different. The nutrition they need is not only used to maintain the consumption and repair of the body, but more importantly, it is used for growth and development. In order to make children get reasonable nutrition, we should pay attention to science when preparing meals. According to the physiological and psychological characteristics of children and the characteristics of material nutrients, we set out to meet the nutritional needs of children's bodies, and arrange children's nutritional recipes reasonably and scientifically every week according to the seasons and the specific conditions of children. When making recipes, we not only consider the food standard, but also calculate the nutrient intake, that is, the proportion of protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and water in the daily diet, as well as the balance of various foods, that is, the proportion of cereals, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, bean products, oils and sugar in the diet. For example, in view of children's psychology of eating stuffed food, do everything possible to mix pork liver and carrots that children usually don't like with a small amount of meat stuffing to make dumplings, which can greatly improve the intake of vitamin A. Through the combination of meat and vegetables, thickness adjustment and sweet and salty combination, children can get enough calories and nutrients.
Thirdly, reasonable processing and scientific cooking can reduce nutrient loss.
Reasonable processing is an important link to improve food form, stimulate appetite and facilitate digestion and absorption. Unreasonable processing will lose a lot of nutrients. Food is processed by scientific and reasonable cooking, in which a series of changes have taken place in protein, fat, sugar and other nutrients, which make food more colorful, fragrant and tasty, improve sensory properties, increase appetite and facilitate absorption. Our requirements for chefs are: having a chef's certificate and training children's physiological needs and psychological knowledge of eating. When making children's dishes, it is required to pay attention to color, aroma, taste and shape, not too salty or too greasy and tender, but also to maintain the nutrients and hygiene of the food. Chefs often combine cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, burning, stewing, stewing and frying in cooking, so that the raw materials are soft, rotten and crisp after cooking, and at the same time, the soluble protein in the raw materials is dissolved to the maximum extent. In this way, the delicious taste of the food itself is preserved, and it is convenient for children to digest and absorb it, so that children want to eat it at first sight and want it after eating, and when they are interested and satisfied with eating. Promote the growth and development of children and enhance their physique.
In addition, we also arranged the children's meal time and the interval between meals and meals reasonably, and developed a good habit of not being picky about food, not overeating and eating regularly and quantitatively for children.
In short, children's nutritional status and health status are inseparable, and reasonable nutrition is an important material condition for children's all-round development. To maintain good health, we must pay attention to dietary nutrition, choose food according to children's nutritional needs, and arrange children's daily meals reasonably.
