Avoid high-oil snacks
High-oil snacks are crispy to eat, and they also make snacks more layered. For example, more cooking oil is added to crispy biscuits and souffles. The addition of edible oil will improve the properties and taste of food. Ordinary soda biscuits have about 15%-20% fat, while some coarse grain biscuits have a fat content as high as 30%. However, such snacks will make children increase their intake of oil invisibly, which will increase the risk of obesity.
Avoid high-sugar snacks
Sugar will make food more delicious. Not only will sugar be added to biscuits or bread, but also the sugar in drinks can not be ignored. Some foods may not taste sweet, but they also contain more sugar, such as cola, milk drinks and so on. Eating these sugary snacks regularly will not only increase the risk of tooth decay, but also make children obese.
