Balanced nutrition for children is the key

A few days ago, in the KFC restaurant, a unique "balanced nutrition expert" restaurant lecture was welcomed by the children and it also triggered children's strong interest in "balanced nutrition." Xu Yuechu, an associate professor of nutrition at Sun Yat-sen University’s School of Public Health and the executive director of the Guangdong Provincial Food Society, told the children in the restaurant about the little knowledge of nutritious meals and gave scientific guidance in light of the children’s prone health hazards.

Children in summer can also "make up" - summer, children often have poor appetite or anorexia. At the same time, children’s activities are large, consumption is increasing, and the demand for nutrients is also increasing. Therefore, children's diet and nutrition must be arranged according to the characteristics of summer.

Professor Xu said that many parents do not understand well-balanced nutrition knowledge. Children often have a lot of dietary errors: First, children like to eat sweets, and supermarkets and shopping malls now pack all kinds of beautifully packaged sugar snacks and snacks. Yes, but long-term addiction to sugar snacks and snacks will not only affect the child's appetite, but also bring mental health problems to children, such as excited crying, love temper tantrum, so parents should limit the baby's sweets. Second, some children like to eat instant noodles, a variety of doll face particularly popular, in fact, this fasting noodles are fried noodles with salt, monosodium glutamate composition, lack of protein, vitamins and trace elements, can not allow children to eat regularly. Third, in the summer, many children can not afford cold drinks, such as ice cream, ice cream, etc., eat more of these frozen foods, children prone to indigestion and intestinal spasm. Therefore, children should not indulge when they eat cold drinks in summer.

Professor Xu believes that giving children a reasonably balanced meal is the basis for ensuring the child’s healthy growth. One of the children's nutrition is the amount of food, that is, how much to eat, one is the quality of food, is to ensure the diversity of food under the premise of ensuring nutrient-rich.
