The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and summer is getting closer to us. As the weather changes, the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation also change. Today, I would like to sort out some precautions for young children’s diet in summer
✨✨✨ Precautions for young children’s summer diet
1. Pay attention to adjusting the diet
Physical consumption is greater in summer, so you need to increase food by 10~15% appropriately, and eat more fresh cooked vegetables. Appropriate supplement of dairy products; if the child has poor appetite, you can make colorful cold vegetables to stimulate appetite.
2. Add more water
Children sweat a lot in summer, so we should urge children to add more water. However, do not drink too much water at one time, as this will dilute gastric acid and affect digestion; do not use drinks instead of water, as this can easily lead to weight gain.
3. Light taste and balanced nutrition
In summer, you should pay attention to light diet and avoid eating too oily and heavy taste. Parents should take into account both taste and children's nutritional needs when cooking.
4. Ensure the food is fresh and clean
Food is prone to spoilage in summer, so it is crucial to ensure the freshness and quality of the food. On the one hand, we must choose products from regular merchants and control the purchasing channels; on the other hand, we must pay attention to preservation and try to buy now, burn and eat now.
5. Pay attention to calcium supplement
Calcium loss is serious in summer, which is the period of high incidence of rickets in young children. Pay attention to supplementing high-calcium foods, such as eggs, milk, tofu, seaweed, etc.
6. Eat breakfast
During the summer vacation, it is easy to have irregular sleep and eating habits, and sometimes you will ignore breakfast. But skipping breakfast is very harmful to the stomach. Parents must pay attention to supervise their children to eat breakfast on time.
7. Refuse junk food
Junk food tastes good, but it is high in fat and sugar. Eating too much can easily lead to obesity and nutritional imbalance.
8. Control salt intake
People sweat a lot in summer. Some parents will deliberately let their children supplement salt, but salt intake must be limited. Generally speaking, it is enough for children to consume 3g of salt per day. Consuming too much salt can put a strain on your heart.
9. Don’t be greedy for desserts
Summer is here, and children have a soft spot for soda, ice cream, and candies. However, consuming too much sugar will not only increase the risk of obesity, but also cause dental caries .
10. Fruits cannot replace meals
A large number of fruits are on the market in summer. Some parents think that fruits are nutritious and healthy, so they simply use fruits as their children's meals. However, this will lead to nutritional imbalance, which will cause damage to the digestive system, immune system, and endocrine system in the long run; most fruits are high in sugar, and eating too much will make you fat.
finally wishes all the babies a good appetite this summer!
