There is less than a week before the Spring Festival~
Visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival holiday,
Each family’s fruit plate will always be full,
When meeting enthusiastic elders,
grab a handful of candy and stuff it into the children’s pocket...
mentions sweets,
let alone babies,
adults are flocking to it,
humans are born to have no resistance to sweets.
The impact of excessive consumption of sweets
I believe everyone knows it,
will not be repeated here,
But do you know?
Eating candy will also affect a person's appearance!
study found that people with high blood sugar look older
British biologist Professor David Gann was very interested in why there is such a big gap in people's appearance and age, and a special study was conducted for this.
He worked with Leiden University in the Netherlands to allow a group of people to age on standard facial images of 600 subjects. The final result was surprising - "Blood sugar is closely related to the appearance and age of a person."
Six hundred subjects were divided into: hypoglycemia group, normal blood sugar group, and hyperglycemia group according to their blood sugar levels. Data from diabetic patients were added as control.
From left to right, according to the blood sugar level, the subject's appearance age changes gradually. People with hypoglycemia appear younger, while people with hyperglycemia appear two years older than their actual age.
So, in the face of the tempting "sweet bomb",
How should we be the "shield" for our children?
Hello Sister Bin, my baby loves to eat candy. During the Spring Festival, the frequency of children eating candy will be higher than usual. I am worried that it will cause bad teeth and will also affect physical health. How can I guide my children to eat less candy?
——Netizen Xiaoxun’s mother
Sister Bin answers questions:
Hello Xiaoxun’s mother!
First of all, parents should set an example. If the baby doesn’t eat it, parents won’t eat it.
Secondly, avoid the chances of your baby being exposed to candy and sweets.
Again, it is a good education. It is repeated and subtle guidance, treating nurturing the baby's good taste as a huge task.
SAY NO or occasionally for the following sugar-containing foods -
× Foods with artificial sweeteners, too much sugar, corn syrup
× Foods with hydrogenated fats
× Foods with pigments and additives
× Canned and processed foods
Of course, these sugar-containing foods are YES -
√ Fresh foods
√ Whole wheat foods
Although from a nutritional point of view, dietary fiber and carbohydrate are good companions for health. However, when choosing food for your baby, in addition to considering nutrition, you also need to take care of the baby's physiological characteristics. Foods with high dietary fiber are difficult to digest, second, strong sense of fullness, and third, it affects the absorption of minerals. Therefore, it is necessary to give your baby to appropriate amounts of . It is recommended that the intake of coarse grains throughout the day should not exceed one-fifth of the proportion of staple foods. Only by reasonable combination can the baby's blood sugar be soothes the baby's body, protect the baby's small teeth, and let the baby enjoy the pleasure brought by food.
Sister Bin said:
Although sweetness brings people a pleasant feeling,
but it is not a body's need,
So even if you don't eat sweet food
products, it will not damage your health.
Because as long as you eat staple food,
starch can be converted into glucose in the body,
is enough for the body to metabolize and use.
During the Spring Festival, it is also allowed for children to eat a small amount of candy,
But remember to let children rinse their mouths and brush their teeth in time.
