According to traditional ideas, workers who have worked hard for a year will reward themselves during the Spring Festival. So there are often all kinds of big fish and meat on the dining table. With the improvement of our living standards, people don't need to treat themselves in festivals for a long time. However, during the Spring Festival, foods with high nutrition, high fat and high animal protein such as chicken, duck, fish, eggs, meat, crab and shrimp still occupy more than half of the table!
Excessive consumption of these high-nutrition, high-fat, high-animal protein meat dishes is not conducive to digestion, will increase the burden on the stomach, raise the level of blood lipids, and bury the obesity crisis. And big fish and meat are almost all acidic foods. The blood of healthy people should be slightly alkaline. If you eat too much acidic food, your blood will be acidic, which will lead to the decline of your body's resistance. You will also eat too many foods with high energy and nutrition, which will accumulate heat in your baby's body and cause various infectious diseases.
Expert's opinion: The holiday table drama should be an "English gathering", featuring various vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are mostly alkaline foods, as well as green vegetables, rape, spinach, white buds, Chinese cabbage, celery, leeks, mustard greens, cauliflower, lettuce and so on. Green leafy vegetables are the best dishes to remove greasy food. Tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, white radishes, taro, sweet potatoes, water chestnuts, etc. Tubers and fruits are rich in vitamins, cellulose and minerals, and also rich in carbohydrates, which can provide heat for your baby's body. Among them, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used for cooking and top meal. Soybean, broad bean, bean sprout, bean curd, dried bean curd, bean skin, bean curd foam and yuba are rich in plant protein and unsaturated fatty acids, which are of great benefit to the growth and development of baby's brain and physique. Acidic food meat should be eaten properly as the finishing touch on the table.
Classic staple food is never out of date.
During the Spring Festival, because there are too many dishes, basically everyone is full after eating a few bites and rarely eats staple food. In fact, it is unscientific for non-staple food to replace staple food. Non-staple foods are mostly animal protein foods and vegetables and fruits. Eating too much can easily damage the baby's spleen and stomach and affect the digestion and absorption of food. Moreover, the nutrition provided by vegetables and fruits is mainly minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber and so on. And the sugar content is not high, which is very different from the staple food and cannot be replaced by each other. Otherwise, it will easily lead to unbalanced nutrition intake of the baby, which will affect the normal growth and development.
Expert opinion: It's still an old saying, "reasonable collocation and balanced diet". The collocation of meat and vegetables should be reasonable, and the arrangement of staple food and non-staple food should be reasonable In addition, it is best to have appetizing side dishes, sweets and snacks to supplement carbohydrates, and seafood to supplement iodine to ensure that the baby can absorb various nutrients reasonably.

Appropriate holiday drinks are enough.

Juice drinks contain a lot of sugar, and excessive drinking will also affect your baby's appetite.

Scientific cooking in festivals.
Scientific cooking mainly includes two aspects: cooking with less oil and salt and healthy cooking methods. The baby's digestive ability is weak, and the cooking method is strict. When cooking for your baby, you should take less methods of steaming, boiling, stewing and frying. Even in festivals, we should pay attention to reducing oil intake. You can use a variety of cooking techniques, such as stewing, frying and steaming several dishes at a meal, and each dish does not have to be fried or fried in oil; You can also heat the vegetable pot first, and then put the oil and vegetables into the pot together. If necessary, you won't feel short of oil and water if you put water in moderation. At the same time, pay attention to using less irritating condiments. The color of the dishes should be as red, white, green and yellow as possible, and the taste should be as sweet and salty as possible, so that the baby can feel full when eating. Foods with good color, good taste and low irritation are beneficial to the digestion and absorption of the baby's stomach, thus promoting growth and development.
Expert opinion: the order of feeding the baby needs to be particular. It is best to serve cold dishes first, and then hot dishes; If you are cooking, serve salty dishes first, which is easy to attract the baby's appetite and has an appetizing effect; Let the baby eat sweets first, which may make them lose their appetite; Cooking should be eaten in the middle of dinner or before serving big dishes, otherwise it may weaken your baby's appetite.
