Spring is a good season for children to grow up, and the height of children is mainly the result of bone development. The main component of bone is calcium, so children should be provided with enough calcium in spring. Children need 700-800 mg of calcium every day, and the appropriate supply is not less than 1000 mg per day. Foods rich in calcium include sesame, day lily, radish, carrot, kelp, mustard, snail, shrimp skin and so on. Then there is sparerib soup or bone soup, which is not only rich in calcium, but also helpful for the body to absorb calcium. Our garden will continue to use bone soup to cook dishes once a week to ensure children's absorption of calcium.
2. Take more vitamin C.
The role of vitamin C in the human body is to improve the sensitivity of the cranial nerves, make the brain respond flexibly to stimuli, and also improve immunity and disease resistance, which plays an important role in children's brain and body. It is windy in spring and the climate is dry, which is easy to cause hemorrhage. Vitamin C has a good effect on preventing bleeding and must be supplied in time. Our garden will try to let children eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, apples, tomatoes, radishes and so on.
3. Reasonable collocation of coarse and miscellaneous grains
Coarse grains and miscellaneous grains can first supply minerals to human body and ensure the supply of trace elements, such as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, calcium and phosphorus, followed by cellulose and various vitamins, and then organic compounds with special structures, such as aromatic substances and amino acids. Moreover, the diversification of food is also very helpful to promote appetite, arouse children's appetite and enhance children's digestion and absorption ability. Our garden will continue to maintain the collocation of coarse grains as children's staple food. Using the natural color and fragrance of various miscellaneous grains, reasonable collocation is made to make all kinds of pasta that children like to eat.
4. Eat more foods containing natural sugar.
In spring, due to the warmer climate and shorter days and nights, children's metabolic function is vigorous, outdoor activities are greatly prolonged, and the consumption of calories and nutrients will increase relatively, making children often feel hungry. Therefore, our garden has also made corresponding adjustments to the intervals in the recipes, and the intervals used will be mainly self-made and supplemented by outsourcing.
5. Ingenious and skillful, with changeable colors
In order to meet the needs of children's bodies, we not only provide nutritious food, but also consider the psychological and physiological characteristics of children. Because children's stomach capacity is small and the amount of digestive juice is less, monotonous food is prone to anorexia and partial eclipse. However, children are curious and easily influenced by the external environment. Therefore, when making meals, we pay special attention to the color, smell and taste of food and the appearance of food, and often change the varieties of colors, so as to make coarse grains carefully cultivated and flour and rice skillfully cultivated to promote children's good appetite. For example, boiled rice porridge is added with rhubarb rice, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc. Pasta varieties are basically not repeated for two weeks, such as raisins, black sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc., and steamed buns once a week, but the fillings are different every week; Even noodles are made into Zhajiang Noodles, shredded pork noodles, fried noodles, noodle soup and other styles. In the choice and production of food, we also strive to adapt to children's digestive ability and eating psychology to prevent food from being too sour, salty and greasy.
6. Create a good eating atmosphere to stimulate children's appetite
The environmental atmosphere when children eat directly affects their appetite. The introduction of nutrition before meals, the teacher explained today's meals to the children, which not only made the children have a pleasant eating mood, but also increased their knowledge.
