Hamburg? French fries? Instant noodles? Barbecue?

Are these the so-called junk food in your eyes that children are not allowed to eat?

Many years ago, a so-called "Top Ten Junk Foods in the World" published by the World Health Organization was circulated on the Internet, which listed a variety of foods and said it was junk food. Many people believe it.

In this list, there are fried food, preserved food, processed meat food, biscuit food, soft drink food, convenience food, canned food, plum food, frozen dessert food and barbecue food, which cover almost all the delicious foods we can eat every day, so that everyone is full of burdens when eating these foods, and children are not allowed to touch them at all.

But in fact, the World Health Organization has long denied this rumor and has never published a list of junk food in the past. It is issued in the name of WHO. But it didn't work. This version of the top ten junk food has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Today, we will solve this misunderstanding for many years for some of these foods.

Many people will confuse some inferior three-no foods, such as spicy strips and stewed vegetables, with junk food. These food safety and quality problems cannot be guaranteed, and they are certainly unhealthy, which is beyond the scope of today's discussion.

As the saying goes, there is no garbage in the world, only resources are misplaced.

So is junk food. There is no absolute junk food. As long as children can "eat", they can taste delicious junk food without harming their health.

However, he did not eat seaweed indiscriminately, but made reasonable collocation and calorie control according to the nutritional value information table provided by McDonald's, and controlled the daily calorie intake within 2000 calories, plus 45 minutes of aerobic exercise every day. Six months later, John Sisner lost 55 pounds.

People who cry all day to lose weight and regret eating McDonald's for a long time, but don't move all day, I'm afraid they can lose weight after eating McDonald's, losing 55 pounds in half a year.

You think hamburgers are junk food. In fact, order a beef pot, scrape off a little salad dressing, add some lettuce, two more tomatoes, replace cola with sugar-free, and order a small portion of French fries, which is a balanced food.

You think instant noodles are junk food. In fact, after boiling, put less seasoning, some vegetables, some tomatoes, an fried egg and two shrimps. It is also a balanced meal.

……

In fact, judging whether food is junk food is not simply about what kind of food it is, nor is it a simple sentence "the food outside is unhealthy", but whether it is "three highs and three lows" (high calorie, high sodium and high fat; Low in fiber, vitamins and minerals).

Some treasure moms know nothing about nutrition. Although they cook three meals a day for their children, they eat unhealthy food.

Some treasure moms only buy expensive children's food for their children, but many foods on the market under the banner of children's food have high sodium and sugar content, which is not healthy.

Just like a hamburger, it has always been regarded as junk food. In fact, it has no harm to the human body, but it is rich in nutrition, but the proportion of nutrition is a little poor. If you add some vegetable salad after eating a hamburger, or change the fried meat into barbecue, this hamburger will still be a "good hamburger" ...

On the contrary, if children have a soft spot for these junk foods and their parents are too strict, they will want to eat more.

This is the "forbidden fruit effect". The more parents refuse to do it, the more curious the child will be. Those ice creams, spicy strips and hamburgers will be more delicious after being processed in his mind, which will make the children want to eat more.

In addition, children have rebellious psychology, and parents will not let them do it, which will stimulate their rebellious psychology. "Why don't you let me eat? Other children can eat!"

If parents' attitude is very tough, it will bring a test to parent-child relationship.

On the contrary, if parents don't treat snacks and other things as a scourge from the beginning, and children have so many food choices, they may not have a soft spot for a certain kind of "junk food", then it will not have much impact on their health if children eat it once in a while.

And if children really fall in love with a snack, it is better to try to make it at home than to strictly prohibit it.

For example, my children especially like to eat sugar. I'm afraid of children's tooth decay and high sugar intake, so I sometimes make lollipops for my children at home. Children also know that eating sugar often is unhealthy, but there is nothing they can do. He was very happy to see me making lollipops specially for him, not only because he could eat candy.

Self-made rock candy Sydney lollipops are healthier without additives, and babies love to eat them.

And I really enjoyed the process.

Therefore, mothers need a pair of discerning eyes to understand their children's dietary health problems, to distinguish what is healthy and what is unhealthy in the market, and to learn how to eat unhealthy things.
