The essentials for selecting children's food

1. Natural ingredients for children's food

The best materials are made from fresh vegetables, fruits and meat and eggs, without artificial colors, preservatives, emulsifiers, flavoring agents and flavorings. Even sweetness is natural.

2, age

The baby's digestive function is gradually developed after birth, that is, at different stages, the gastrointestinal tract can only adapt to different foods, especially within the age of the first year. For example, in addition to dairy products within 3 months, they can only drink juice, 4 Months later, add rice paste, vegetable puree, and meat puree in order of increasing age in months. If you buy a big child's food for a very small baby, your baby will suffer from indigestion and even diarrhea, but it will bring unhappiness. If you do not eat, you are wasted. Gifts cannot be used for everything. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the nutrition and health personnel before buying, or ask the sales staff for baby food suitable for the baby's age.

3, economic benefits

Many people always think that the high price or imported food must be the best. Experts are complaining that although some foods are expensive, nutrition is not necessarily a concern for low-priced foods because the price of food is directly proportional to its processing process and inversely proportional to the food source. The more processed food nutrients are lost, the higher the price. Foreign products are not necessarily better than domestic ones, and many of them have high prices due to exquisite dry packaging, high import tariffs on raw materials, and high transportation costs. In fact, the nutritional efficacy of the two is similar. Therefore, the principle of successful selection is based on the growth and development characteristics of babies of different ages, and targeted selection from balanced nutritional needs, which may not be able to spend much money will receive very good results.

4, choose less expanded food

In recent years, there has been an endless stream of puffed children's food products, such as fries, chicken and shrimp slices, which are eye-catching and appealing to babies. Children's gift bags sold in shopping malls are almost all puffed foods. Because children like people often buy it, as a gift for children. However, this type of food is rich in sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, and flavoring substances, while the content of protein cellulose and minerals is extremely low. The baby eats no nutrition, regular consumption may also cause obesity and high blood pressure, so less choice is better.

5, do not eat tonic

Some people think that adding supplements to your baby will promote growth and development, and hope that it will improve your baby's intelligence, and catch up with the new year when the winter is coming. It is a good time to give your baby a boost, so you will buy various nutritional tonics, such as It contains nutrients such as ginseng, antler, donkey-hide gelatin, winter and summer caterpillar fungus, and pollen. These supplements may be beneficial to adults without serious problems, but often cause many adverse consequences for the baby, such as premature appetite &cols = 1 precocious puberty, because these supplements contain hormones and traces of active substances, the normal physiology of the baby Metabolism has an effect, so it should be used with caution. If the baby is indeed physically weaker than other children, it is best to use the dialect dialect in the use of the doctor's guidance. It is not free to send the baby to the baby. Otherwise, it will only be counterproductive.

6. Do not choose damaged brain foods that affect the brain development of the baby

Foods made from refined sugar-sweetened foods and refined white rice noodles absorb into the brain cells and cause them to lose water, leaving brain cells lacking the necessary nutrients. In the process of making rice, milled rice flour also loses most of its benefits for the brain. The nutrients needed by cells only remain in the body as carbohydrates that act as a fuel, so they are not conducive to the development of brain cells.

7, drinks should choose natural juice

Such beverages do not contain flavors, food colorings and preservatives, of which most of the vitamins are still well preserved. Formulated drinks, if the tea, soft drinks, and formulated juices are in the process of disinfecting and storing, the amount of vitamins that are rarely consumed will be very low. Not only will no nutrition enter the body, it will cause a decline in immunity and stimulate the gastric mucosa. Liver detoxification discharge, regular consumption will damage the baby's delicate liver, affecting the baby's normal growth and development.

8, correctly select children's fortified food

In the purchase, we must first according to the growth and development characteristics of the baby of different ages, buy the required nutrition and appropriate food types, followed by attention to whether the amount of nutritional enhancement is reasonable, such as VD to strengthen the amount of 400IU, VA is 1000IU calcium fortification To 800 mg of iron to 15 mg, zinc to 10 mg. In order to avoid over-enhancing, over-inflation of the child's physiological intake causes poisoning, or the amount of fortification is too small to prevent the effect of nutritional deficiency.

9, should not choose more chocolate, candy and caffeinated beverages

The chocolate is delicate and smooth, and it is carried dry, and it has a rich aroma that cannot be found in ordinary sweets. Therefore, it is often used as a gift for gifts. However, the baby eats it but it is not easy to digest, and because of the strong taste of chocolate, it also reduces the sensitivity of the baby's taste, that is, eat more and then eat ordinary meals, then taste like chewing wax, making the baby's appetite decreased rather than eat. At the same time, if chocolate is used together with caffeine, it will make your baby's brain excited and difficult to fall asleep. Caffeine can also inhibit the repair of brain cells, resulting in cell mutations that can cause developmental disorders. The candy food tastes good and the baby is very much liked.
