Bart Classroom | In the sweltering summer, how should children supplement nutrition?
As the sweltering summer arrives and the temperature rises sharply, many parents report that their little ones at home start to feel restless and dry-mouthed and lose their appetite. What kind of food should children eat in dog days? Ensure sufficient water intake In dog days, children sweat a lot and are prone to dehydration. Encourage children to drink more water. They can also drink an appropriate amount of freshly squeezed juice, mung bean soup, etc., but pay attention to controlling sugar intake. For example, let children carry a water cup with them and replenish water at any time; prepare fresh watermelon juice at home, which is both thirst-quenching and rich in vitamins. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter gourds, and winter melons, as well as fruits such as watermelons, peaches, and grapes are all good choices. For example, make a plate of cold cucumbers for children or cut a plate of peaches as an afternoon snack. Consume an appropriate amount of high-quality protein You can choose sources of high-quality protein such as fish, chicken, eggs, and soy products. Fish is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to children's brain development; soy products are rich in plant protein and calcium. For example, steamed fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and tofu soup are all nutritious dishes. Control taking cold drinks and sweets Although cold drinks and sweets can bring temporary coolness and satisfaction, excessive consumption may affect children's appetite and digestive function. Pay attention to food hygiene Food should be fresh and clean. The cooking process should be thoroughly cooked to avoid food poisoning and intestinal infections. For example, choose regular channels when purchasing ingredients and carefully clean ingredients before cooking. Have a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods Cooking methods should be steaming, boiling, cold mixing, etc. as much as possible, and reduce the use of frying, pan-frying and spicy seasonings. Dishes like stir-fried seasonal vegetables and boiled shrimp are light and nutritious. To ensure that children can obtain sufficient nutrients, we need to pay attention to their eating habits and ensure a balanced and diverse diet. At the same time, we can also choose nutritionally balanced milk powder. In this way, parents won't be in such a hurry when supplementing nutrition for their children. For example, Eastb art Modified Camel Milk Powder For Children is rich in nutritional elements needed by children and comprehensively takes care of children's absorption power, protection power and cognitive power, making up for nutrients that children may lack in daily diet. Children's nutritional needs are all-round. Only by ensuring that they obtain sufficient nutrients can they grow up healthily and happily.
