Four mistakes in eating baby dinner
Children eat meat every day.
Wrong. Vegetarian food will make people healthier. It is suitable for people of all ages, even children and pregnant women. Pay attention to supplement iron, zinc and vitamin b 12. Of course, children can't eat meat at all. Two or three times a week is enough. Studies have shown that people who love meat are more likely to develop colon cancer.
2. soup and rice are easy to digest.
Wrong. Some children don't like to eat vegetables, but like to soak rice in soup or water. In this way, many grains of rice were swallowed before they were chewed. Children's dietary arrangements should be diversified as far as possible, and meat and vegetables should be matched to ensure adequate intake of protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and minerals every day.
3. Children should eat less dinner.
Wrong. "Eat less dinner" is aimed at adults, especially the elderly, but it is another matter for children. Children are in a vigorous period of growth and development, and both physical growth and brain development need a lot of nutrients to supplement them. The time interval from dinner to the next morning is about 12 hours. Although there is no need to supplement food during sleep, children's growth and development will not stop for a moment, even at night, they still need some nutrition. If you eat too little or too bad dinner, you can't meet this demand. In the long run, it will affect the development and growth of children. It can be seen that children should not only eat less, but also eat well. If the child is overweight or even obese, we should adhere to the principle of "eat less at dinner", but this "less" means less calories, not less quantity.
Eating too much at dinner will affect sleep.
Wrong. As long as the child eats an hour before going to bed, it will not affect the child's sleep.
