A healthy diet for infants and young children
Don't eat meat fish
Many parents believe that children are smart when they eat more fish, but not every fish they buy is suitable for children. Children's food safety experts remind that children should choose to eat herbs, such as grassfish and catfish, as much as possible, and avoid eating meat fish, so that they can “feed and eat”。

As water pollution from chemical products such as pesticides, fertilizers and waste plastics has increased in recent years, some toxins may be deposited in fish for long periods. As children are not well developed and have low levels of immunity from the virus, particular care should be taken when eating fish。
Fish are divided into herbivorous, impurity and predatory fish, which are at the bottom of the food chain, such as catfish and grassfish, where contaminants are relatively low, well nourished and can be eaten more, while predatory fish, such as sharks, fish and tuna, are at the top of the food chain with high levels of contaminants, and children should minimize the risk of ingestion of toxins。
It is also important to choose the right part of the fish. Fish are often found in the highest concentrations of contaminants and should be carefully eaten by children, although their belly is free of thorns, tastes and fats。
A child of 1-2 years of age has some ability to chew and digest, and when the child is able to receive broken food, the parents should give him some hard food, which will benefit both the nutrition and the absorption of the child, not only the choice of food, but also the ability to chew. If only soft food is eaten, the baby swallows without much chewing, and in the long run, the tooth beds and face muscles are not able to move and the growth of the hips is affected。
Some parents may fear that the baby's teeth are not full enough to bite hard, which is not the case. As early as infancy, a baby can crush a piece of food with a tooth bed and tongue, and now has a nipple. If the baby chews hard, he throws up. It's a human instinct。
It should be noted that the term " hard food " refers not to nuts, such as walnuts, beans, pines, but rather to relatively hard bread-dry, bun-dry, red chips, etc. These foods should not be treated as normal, but as extra meals between meals。
Too much juice. Watch out for the piss
Some children do not like vegetables and fruit, and in order for children to consume more vitamins, parents like to make the baby drink juice, and a small cup of juice often requires several fruits. The child's appetite, although small, was nourished by many fruits。
However, high concentrations of juice beverages can cause children to suffer from a variety of diseases such as diarrhoea and sleeping disorders, as 75 per cent of children under 7 years of age have difficulty absorbing juice. Sometimes children's anorexia is caused by excessive consumption of high sugar in juice and drinks
Thus, while the juice is good, the excess is not good。
Food that needs to stay away from healthy diets
1. Contaminated foods
The causes of this situation today are multiple, such as environmental degradation, radiation from household electricity, changes in children's habits and high proteins, fat diets, etc. The experts noted in particular the hazards posed by food pollution, in particular nitrites, oxytocin, pesticides and heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium。
Healthy diet for infants and young children
Nitrate in food can be transformed into carcinogen nitrite; accumulin is a major “probate” for induction of tumours (especially liver cancer) and is fed with acne feed (rich with accelerin) which causes liver cancer in just three months; and residues in food enter and accumulate in humans, causing damage to liver, brain, kidney, etc., by light persons, who can die from acute poisoning. You see, the danger of food contamination is terrible. As a result, children are selected for food that is free of pesticide contamination, non-sterilized, low nitrate content and is fresh and clean, such as rice, noodles, beans, celery, onions, garlic, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and melons. Vegetables suspected to be contaminated with pesticides can be treated with ozone detoxifiers or with vegetable washing agents or small sodas before being washed with large quantities of water. Both root and root vegetables and fruits must be cut and then cooked or eaten directly to preserve the child's health。
2. Fast food
In recent years, fast food in the country. Because of their good food environment, novel food patterns and attractive tastes, children are well favoured. And some parents are willing to contribute generously to their children's needs in order to suit their taste. But the problem is that many children become “little obese” because they are overweight. And the “little obese” is easily associated with a variety of “civilized diseases” such as hypertension, diabetes, fat liver and obese brain, which seriously jeopardizes their physical and intellectual development。
3 sugar
Sugar tastes are good, coupled with excellent packaging, sugar-based sweets and snacks, which become yet another “unstoppable temptation” for children. However, chronic sugar addiction can cause mental health problems for children, causing children to become emotional, in the form of agitated tears, books, temperaments, fighting, etc., medically termed “sugarish psychosis”. Studies have shown that the lack of vitamin b1 in the nervous system is caused by the lack of vitamin b1 as a result of over-ingestion of sugar, resulting in the consumption of large quantities of vitamin b for sugar metabolism. It is important to limit sugar and reduce snacks, and the ratio of three meals of protein, fat and carbohydrates should be maintained at 1:3:6。
4. Acid food
The term acid food here refers not to the taste of food but to its nature, such as meat, eggs and sugar. This type of food is the “high-nutrient food” that is valued and often included in the children's diet by parents as their preferred food. However, the final metabolites after they enter the human body are acidic, making blood acidic, changing the normal alkaline state of the blood, leading to acidity, thereby causing a massive depletion of potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc., which are involved in the normal development of the brain, causing mental disorders and creating autism in children. Care needs to be taken to restructure the three meals so as to reduce the proportion of proteins, fats, sugar so-called “nutrient foods” and to increase the abundance of foods such as vegetables and fruit。
5. Predium
A number of families are now pursuing “insatiable” and view the consumption of rice and flour as fashion. This is not the case with medical experts, who believe that the long-term consumption of too sophisticated food not only reduces the intake of vitamin b, which affects the development of the nervous system, but also affects the sight due to the excessive loss of chromium. The deficiency of chromium elements has been identified as a major cause of near-sightedness。
It turns out that chromium is an important hormone-insulin auxiliary factor in humans, and that insufficient quantities can reduce insulin activity and reduce the ability to regulate blood sugar, leading to normal metabolism of sugar in food and to retention in blood, leading to a change in the dilation of the eye and eventually to near-sightedness. Be careful to provide the child with a certain amount of crude grain rice and a sufficient amount of chromium。
6. Noodles
For example, pasta is one of the fast foods that is popular in the times, and its methods of production are also imported from abroad. This “earth snack” is oil, which is made up of fried noodles with salt and taste, the worst of which is the lack of proteins, fats, vitamins and trace elements that are essential to the growth and development of children. Noodles cannot be the food staple of children, otherwise they can induce malnutrition and jeopardize their physical and intellectual development。
Chocolate
(information diagram)
Chocolate, though a longer-standing food, is becoming “hot” to become a fashionable food as a result of the successive discoveries of its various health functions (such as heart protection, cancer prevention, diet, stimulation, etc.), which are increasingly visible and promoted by health professionals. It should be noted, however, that children should be appropriately restricted, otherwise they could easily be associated with urine. A medical doctor in the united states explained that chocolate can produce an allergic reaction in the baby, which swells the bladder wall, reduces its capacity, makes smooth muscles rough, creates convulsions, and that the allergic reaction causes the child to sleep too deep, preventing him from waking up in time when the urine is full. As the children enter their youth, the chocolate no longer produces allergies, the urine phenomenon disappears. In childhood, chocolate should be less or less available before sleeping。
Coffee
Coffee contains more caffeine, which has a negative effect on the development of the baby's bones, so children who often drink coffee, coffee, candy or crackers are encouraged to drink more water, less or less coffee。
Fish dried
Fish stem is made of seafish processing and contains a wealth of nutrients, such as protein, calcium and phosphorus, as well as delicious tastes, so parents are happy to buy them and children are happy to eat them. But be alert to the fact that there's a mosaic called fluorine in fish dried, which tends to be excessive. Fluorine in fish dried is measured at more than 2400 times more than cattle, sheep and pork and more than 4800 times more than fruit and vegetables. In humans, the physiological requirement for fluoride is only 1 mg-1. 5 mg per day, so the safe limit for ingestion of fluorine from food, etc., should not exceed 4 mg-6 mg per day. If this limit is exceeded, fluorine accumulates in the body for a long period of time, causing chronic fluoride poisoning, resulting in rougher teeth. In order for a child to have a clean, white tooth, it is necessary to limit the amount of fish dried and never allow the child to be consumed in large quantities over the years。
Ten, soy milk
While soy milk, as the best alternative to infant and young child feeding, has been unchallenged for many years, there have been studies in recent years on the ills of infant consumption of soy milk. First of all, people in the united states working on gmos and human health have found that children who grow up with soybean milk have higher risk factors for thyroid and reproductive system diseases in adulthood, because babies react differently to high plant estrogen levels in soybeans than adults, only 5% of plant hormones in the infant intake are bound to estrogen receptors, and the remaining plant estrogens accumulate in their bodies, so that they may be exposed to future sexual development. There is information indicating that children who grow up drinking soy milk are two to three times more likely to have breast cancer later. It was then reported that soy milk and soybean milk contained 50 times more manganese than breast milk, while overabsorbed manganese would affect the brain development of infants under six months of age, thus increasing the likelihood of subsequent attention deficit, hyperactivity and adolescent violence. Breastfeeding is promoted and infants, especially those under six months of age, are best not given soy milk。
Barbecue food
Barbecue food has the following hazards:
(1) reduced protein utilization: “merad reaction” occurs during barbecue food. The fragrance of meat when roasted on the ovens was tempting, but as the scent spreads, the nutrients are destroyed, proteins become degenerative and amino acids are similarly damaged, seriously affecting vitamins, proteins and amino acid intake. Thus, the long-term consumption of barbecue-like food affects the utilization of the substances。
(2) concealed carcinogens: the nucleic acids in meat in the merad reaction, together with most amino acids in thermal decomposition, produce genetic mutations that can lead to cancer, and in the barbecue environment, there are substances that cause cancers such as 3, 4-benzo-biphenyls that enter the human body through dermal, respiratory, digestive, etc。
(3) barbecue is charred: some of the meat is not yet ripe or even raw, and if the raw meat has not yet been cooked, such as “meal pork”, the eater may become infected with parasites and bury the risk of contracting cerebral cystosis. Don't take kids for barbecue food。
12. Leaded food
Lead is a major “killer” of brain cells, and it has been investigated that when lead in blood reaches 5-15 ug/100 ml, it causes stunting and mental decline in children, and the younger the age, the greater the rate of damage to the nervous system. Attention should therefore be paid to reducing the intake of lead in children's food. Foods with high lead include popcorn, eggs, canned food, soft drinks, etc. In addition, the use of aluminium leadware is minimized. Less food with lead and less aluminium leadware。
13. Peroxylipic food
This can also occur when peroxidated fat foods destroy vitamins, hinder and disrupt the absorption of proteins and amino acids, and when fried foods are too hot (above 200°c). The use of fried foods should be minimized。
14 - salt, taste, sugar
The child's daily salt should be controlled below 4 grams. Excessive salt leads to renal artery sclerosis, sugar is based on acetic anhydride and has no nutritional value except for sweets, and infants should be banned. Tastes with sodium acamate can cause zinc deficiency and liver cell damage. Infants and pregnant women should be underused, preferably not. Too much salt is not healthy. As far as possible, it should be a child-heavy habit, with a nutritional focus on the diet and less on the above-mentioned spices。
