Disadvantages of baby eating hawthorn
1, damage to the stomach
Hawthorn contains fruit acid, organic acid, maslinic acid, etc., which will increase the secretion of gastric acid and stimulate the gastric mucosa, thus leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. However, children's general gastrointestinal function is not perfect or fragile. Eating too much will damage the stomach and reduce digestive function.
2. Damage to teeth
Generally speaking, children's teeth are in the stage of growth and development, especially those in the period of tooth replacement. If they eat too much hawthorn, the acidic substances in hawthorn will cause some corrosion and damage to the enamel on the surface of teeth, which will affect the growth of children's teeth.
3, cause malnutrition
Although hawthorn has high nutritional value, its energy and nutrition are still limited. If children eat hawthorn in large quantities for a long time, it may cause malnutrition and anemia.
4, affect appetite
Although eating hawthorn in moderation can enhance appetite, if eating too much, it may be counterproductive, which will lead to a decline in children's appetite. In particular, eating hawthorn cakes and slices processed from hawthorn mostly contains starch, sugar and even additives. If children eat too much of this food, their blood sugar will be kept at a high level, so that children will not feel hungry, which will not only affect their appetite, but also lead to obesity and even affect their health.
