There are some foods that adults eat well, because they are low in fat and low in calories, increasing satiety and helping to reduce fat! But when the baby eats, it is not healthy. If the baby eats and loses weight, the energy stored in the body is not enough, which leads to physical growth and developmental delay ! These foods—all of which include: Soup!
Soup has always been a very healthy thing on the Chinese table: it warms the stomach, digests food, and supplements nutrition. Therefore, some parents also regard soup as a "highlight" for their children when feeding their children, and even regard "soup" as a child. main food. Let the baby eat all kinds of "soup" as the staple food. It is better to drink soup than to eat meat. The longer the soup is boiled, the more nutrition...
The essence is in the soup, so it is good for children to drink soup...
- the "truth of feeding soup" in these children's circles, Is it really correct?
Children only drink soup, is it really okay?
The answer is NO! The nutritional value of soup for children is not so high! And drinking too much soup
is not conducive to the nutritional supply of the child's body!
Reason: The "nutrient density" of soup is extremely low and cannot provide sufficient nutrition for children
The "nutrient density" of soup is extremely low and cannot provide adequate nutrition for children
Babies eat "good", "full", and eat "nutritious," In fact, it's not about how big your baby's stomach is and how much he eats, but about the "nutrient density" of the food your baby eats. Nutrient density refers to the concentration of important nutrients contained in a food on a unit calorie basis. In layman's terms, whether the food that the baby eats is conducive to growth depends on how much "energy" the baby eats: protein, vitamin , minerals and other substances that the baby needs to grow.The reason why it is said that only soup or too much soup for a baby's diet is not good is because in many soups, more than 699% of the ingredients are almost all water and fat, and only a very small amount of protein and minerals will dissolve in it.
The following three kinds of
are not suitable for children to drink too much soup!
1. Bone Broth
Bone broth can not supplement enough calcium, and it is easy to cause children to be overweight and obese.
Many parents feel that stewed bones and soup are nutritious, so they often make stewed soup for their children as the main food. But in fact, the bone broth that has been boiled at high temperature is mainly diluted with bone marrow (containing a lot of fat). Although the soup is rich and delicious, the feeling of satiety is also very strong, but the children drink a lot of water and Fat. Nutritionists point out that 1L of bone broth contains only about 10mg of calcium, while 1L of milk contains more than 1000mg of calcium. Therefore, drinking bone broth can not supplement sufficient calcium, and it is easy to cause overweight and obesity in children.
2. Vegetable Soup
Vegetables boiled in boiling water have only a small amount of minerals and water-soluble vitamins in the soup
Do many mothers do this? I feel that my child has no teeth yet, and it is difficult to chew, but I want to supplement him with various vegetables and vitamins, so a magical way of eating came into being: Bao Ma boiled various vegetables, mushrooms and other ingredients into soup for the child to drink. soup. Euphemistically, the nutrition is melted into the soup. Is it good for the child to drink?
but that's not the case.
Vegetables boiled in boiling water have only a small amount of minerals and water-soluble vitamins in the soup, which cannot provide the dietary fiber that children need. In addition, pesticide residues and nitrites from vegetables may also be added to the soup. Drinking vegetable soup every day can easily cause problems in the development of children's organs.
3. Rice soup
The nutrients provided by rice soup are almost only carbohydrates, poor protein
There are some parents who do this, thinking that their children can't eat yet, so they let their children drink rice soup as "rice". Also, the rice soup is thick and smooth, what's wrong with making it a staple food for children?
The truth is - the nutrients provided by rice soup are almost only carbohydrates , protein is pitiful, not to mention other nutrients that children need to grow!
Therefore, rice soup can be used as complementary food for babies, but it must not be used as a "staple food" for babies to drink every day, otherwise babies are prone to lack of nutrients and growth retardation!
Too much soup as the main food affects the normal growth and development of the baby
Eating "soft food" for a long time will reduce the number of chewing times of the baby, resulting in delayed chewing and swallowing ability.
Soup, soup, and water, the baby does not need to chew, it is convenient to eat, but long-term eating " Soft food" will reduce the frequency of chewing of the baby, resulting in delayed chewing and swallowing ability development. In addition, we also said just now that the substances contained in the soup are very simple and cannot meet the comprehensive nutrition for the growth and development of the baby, but the soup often occupies the stomach and gives a strong sense of satiety. Therefore, after the baby basically drinks the soup, there is no extra space in the small stomach to accommodate other foods, resulting in insufficient intake of other healthy foods.
In addition, because the nutrient density of the soup is low, the baby is full at the time after drinking the soup, but soon becomes hungry again
In addition, because the nutrient density of the soup is low, the baby is full after drinking the soup, but soon becomes hungry again! If parents give him various snacks to satisfy his hunger at this time, it will develop bad eating patterns and habits for a long time, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the baby.Therefore, based on the above, it can be seen that for the baby, soup is best not to be used as the main food or to be eaten in large quantities as a complementary food for the child. It will be better for the baby. Although soup is convenient, it must be controlled for the baby. .
