However, is porridge really the best choice for breakfast? In fact, many studies show that porridge is not suitable for children to eat regularly.
Why not recommend porridge?
As the saying goes, "Eat well for breakfast, eat well for lunch and eat less for dinner. Breakfast is the most important meal in a baby's day, which provides them with 30% of the calories in the whole day. If you just drink porridge and lack carbohydrate staple food, it will make your baby malnourished.
Zhang Wenhong once said that in order to improve the baby's immunity, you must eat nutritious and protein-high food every morning, and you must drink milk and eggs instead of porridge in the morning.
Breakfast that hurts children the most.
These five types of breakfast, no matter how busy mom and dad are, are best not to give them to the baby. Without nutrition, it will also affect the baby's development.
0 1 rice congee
First of all, rice congee has little nutrition, mostly starch and water, and almost no protein and vitamins;
Secondly, the old people generally think that porridge can warm the stomach, but children's stomachs also need a balanced diet, so that children can eat more rice congee soft rice, which will affect their digestive ability;
Thirdly, when many families prepare various kinds of porridge, they will prepare some small mustard tuber, salted duck eggs and pickled cucumbers for their next meal. However, pickled foods, because there are a lot of nitrite, sodium and food additives, will harm the liver and kidneys of developing children.
02 milk beverage
Not all milk can be used as children's breakfast, such as breakfast milk and lactic acid drinks. These milk drinks contain a lot of white sugar, edible essence and food additives.
03 all kinds of high-sugar foods
First of all, "Dietary Nutrition Guide for China Residents" points out that when processing food, it is best for babies under 2 years old not to add salt, sugar, pepper, etc., so as to keep the original flavor of the food as much as possible and let them develop a taste list.
Therefore, it is best not to prepare cream cakes, cookies, biscuits, bread, egg yolk pies, etc. for your baby. It contains a lot of sugar, not just white sugar, fructose, sucrose, maltose, honey and so on.
04 fast food
When it comes to fast food, the first thing that comes to mind is instant noodles. Many children like to eat instant noodles, which are full of flavor. In the morning, an instant noodle, a poached egg and a little green vegetables seem to have protein, vitamins and starch, but instant noodles are high-salt foods. Excessive intake will affect the baby's normal appetite and reduce their sensitivity to taste.
Secondly, such as quick-frozen dumplings, quick-frozen dumplings, quick-frozen steamed stuffed buns, quick-frozen zongzi, etc., the nutritional value of these foods is very low.
Because the food processed below-18℃ will not lose water, and microorganisms will not reproduce, which ensures the safety of food. However, the fat will be gradually oxidized and the vitamins will be decomposed, so the nutritional value will be lost.
05 soybean milk with fritters
First of all, compared with soybean, the calcium content of soybean milk will be diluted, which is about 10mg per 100g, which is only one tenth of that of milk, so soybean milk cannot be used instead of milk.
The Dietary Nutrition Guide for China Residents also points out that soybean milk is healthy, but it still cannot replace milk.
Secondly, the fried dough sticks belong to high-temperature fried food, and the oil temperature is as high as 190℃ when making, and the oil used repeatedly will cause the oil to age, and the nutrients such as fatty acids and vitamins contained in the oil will be oxidized and not easily absorbed.
At the same time, it will hinder the absorption of calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium and other elements, resulting in excessive quality and obesity.
Moreover, some merchants will add alum to the fried dough sticks, which will be eaten frequently by babies during their growth and development, which will cause nerve development damage and mental retardation.
Ps: The above types of breakfast that are not recommended are not that the baby can't eat it at one bite, but that it is not recommended to eat it often. It is no problem to eat it once in a while. After all, reasonable control of frequency and quantification is the basis of scientific breakfast.
What kind of breakfast is the most suitable?
Zhong Nanshan once published his healthy eating principles in the Weibo, including a glass of milk, an egg, a few pieces of coarse grain bread, fresh fruits and vegetables every morning.
The Dietary Guide for School-age Children in China puts forward that the breakfast of children before the age of 6 should include 3~4 kinds or more of cereals, dairy products, meat, poultry and eggs, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Staple food: noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, etc., and some coarse grains such as steamed sweet potatoes, corn and red beans can be added appropriately;
Protein: Including meat, eggs and milk, it can supplement the daily intake of protein.
Fruits and vegetables: such as apples, pitaya and other fruits, or boiled vegetables such as rape and spinach, and some nuts can also be added appropriately.
