Children are in a period of rapid growth and development, and the nutrients they need should be comprehensive. protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients exist in whole grains, chicken, fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Long-term picky eaters will inevitably lead to the lack of some nutrients and make them sick. If you get into the habit of eating whatever you want from an early age, you can make the nutritional components of various foods complement each other, learn from each other's strong points and play a higher nutritional value, which is called "complementary role" in nutrition. If meat and vegetables are eaten together, the absorption rate of iron and vitamin C can be improved. Long-term picky eaters will lead to short stature.
If you want to grow up, you can't be picky about food.
Some students are often stunted and short. Once investigated, most of them didn't have a good breakfast, mainly because the quantity of breakfast was insufficient and the quality was poor. Children are an important period of growing up and learning, and they also need the most calories in their lives. They have to have four classes in a row all morning, and most of the main classes are arranged in the morning, so the mental and physical consumption is particularly large. After a few hours from dinner the day before to the next morning, the blood sugar in the body has been consumed almost. If you don't make up the calories from breakfast, the blood sugar concentration will continue to drop, and hypoglycemia will occur, which is not conducive to growth and development. In order to maintain a high blood sugar level all day, breakfast must be regarded as the most important meal of three meals a day.
In order to pursue physical beauty, some girls go on a diet inappropriately and restrict their diet excessively, and the nutritional needs of the body are not guaranteed, which will seriously affect their physical development and hinder their growth.
Children are in a long physical period and need more nutrients. Because children's organs are not mature, there are not many sugar sources stored in the liver and muscles, and they usually have a large amount of activity and consume a lot of calories. Excessive dieting will inevitably lead to insufficient nutrients and calories for the body, which will easily lead to hunger and fatigue. Over time, it will inevitably affect physical development and lead to slow growth.
Children who diet for a long time will also make the organs and tissues of the digestive system degenerate and shrink, and the digestive juice secreted by the digestive glands will decrease, causing serious indigestion and malabsorption. Over time, it will form a vicious circle of anorexia ~ indigestion ~ malabsorption ~ anorexia. Severe patients can be life-threatening due to acidosis. How can it not affect the increase?
Studies have shown that among the short stature caused by endocrine diseases, the most common is the direct or indirect lack of growth hormone. Nutritional disorders, such as zinc deficiency, iodine deficiency, calcium deficiency, iron deficiency, etc., caused by zinc deficiency dwarfism, cretinism-like dwarfism, calcium deficiency syndrome, etc., is one of the reasons for short stature.
All nutrients that people need come from food and food. As the saying goes, "A good body can be eaten." As we all know, food is the material basis to ensure life and health. The ancients once concluded: "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, five vegetables are for filling, and the smells are combined to supplement the essence." Neijing says: "All the fruits and vegetables in the grain can be eaten and nourished." It is said that five grains, five fruits, five livestock and five dishes should be eaten alternately. More than 2,000 years ago, it is still so true and useful. It can be seen that the increase of diet therapy is achievable. As far as the current dietary structure is concerned, it is difficult for pregnant women and children to meet their physical needs from the general diet. About 30% of pregnant women and 40% of children are in the marginal state of zinc deficiency and zinc deficiency, and the situation of iodine deficiency is more serious.
The increase of dietotherapy should grasp four periods: fetal period, infant period, childhood period and adolescence (including pre-adolescence). Three meals a day, thick and thin, animal food and plant food should have a certain proportion, it is best to eat some beans, potatoes and fresh vegetables every day. Eat more foods and foods rich in zinc, iodine, calcium, iron, manganese, selenium and vitamins, such as animal liver, meat, fish, clams, oysters, kelp, seaweed, mussels, animal bones, especially cereals and beans. For children, we should pay more attention to the nutrition supply, and don't restrict it too much. Children need to eat not only staple food, but also non-staple food. The staple food should not be too fine. We should eat coarse food and miscellaneous food, such as tofu, mashed vegetables, minced meat, eggs, fish soup, cereal, rice oil and bran cakes.
Not long ago, the Nutrition Society of China officially published the Dietary Guide for China Residents, which was recommended to the society. This is a great event with great merits. It will help our/kloc-0.2 billion people to put three meals a day on a scientific track, and play an important role in developing China's dietary civilization and improving the physical quality of the Chinese nation.
