Six " Not " In The Children Meal


The first is not to "grade" for children. Some parents during meals often teaching their children, causing children psychological discomfort, anger, lead to heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, digestion is affected, diminished appetite.

If this situation repeated often, children will no longer appetite before a meal and have more serious consequences for other physiological. So, in any meal which is young participants, to create a fun atmosphere, exciting work to improve digestion, good for physical health and spiritual children.

What not to others:

1. Children eat the food too salty: These items will provide too much sodium in the kidney of the child development is not complete, the capacity to excrete less sodium. Thus, the excretion would be affected, leading to kidney damage, kidney failure or glomerulonephritis. Sodium concentration in the blood can rise to influence blood circulation system - one of the causes of high blood pressure later in life. In addition, children who eat meat also makes a number of diseases such as heart failure, muscular weakness.

2. Use more frozen food of young of young monks are not complete, so the cold food into the stomach makes too many blood mucous tissue shrinking the stomach, gastric reduction. This causes decreased ability to digest and absorb food in the body. Also, cold foods also makes the digestive capacity of the stomach down, limiting their ability to kill bacteria of the epidemic.

Stimulation of cold foods can cause stomach convulsions, abdominal pain, diarrhea, poor appetite. This situation, if prolonged can cause chronic diseases such as chronic colitis, abdominal bloating frequently ...

3. Feeding children foods that use synthetic pigments: Modern medicine, said that young children if prolonged use of small amounts of dyes and food colors can appear to be abnormal changes. Food coloring compounds are synthetic or semisynthetic, have been through the refining process and rigorous testing, the process can also use the safe concentration limit allowed. However, if regular food coloring, they will lose the ability to detoxify the body, disturbances of normal metabolism, appears bloating, digestive disorders. The pigments can accumulate and cause chronic poisoning, if it sticks to the stomach, it can cause pathological changes.

If the organs of excretory system, the dye can cause kidney stones in the urethra. The use of too much food coloring will disrupt communication effects of the nervous system, causing nerve impulses at times, resulting in a hyperactive child becomes too sick or closed.

4. Children of adults drink: The body parts of young children is weak, the capacity to respond to stimulation of acid, alkali, excitement ... still relatively low. So should not we use adult beverages such as coffee, coca ... The caffeine effect is relatively strong excitement for the central nervous system of infants, affecting brain development. Although tea has many vitamins, trace elements ... but it also contains caffeine, make kids excited, heart palpitations, frequent urination, sleep is not sleep. The quality of tea in combination with protein foods will affect digestion and absorption of iron, causing anemia. Carbonated water often contains sodium, which can neutralize stomach acid or hinder digestion and cause intestinal infections. Phophoric salt in the drinks directly affects the child's absorption of iron, causing anemia. Still wines, beer can stimulate a child's stomach lining, liver damage, damage to the nervous system of children, leading to loss of physiological balance. Alcohol also causes many other side effects.

5. Do not eat excessive nutrients: In its early development to mature, the absorption of very high nutrient levels will cause excess nutrients, making immune cells growing too soon. Consequently, middle age, strength of immune cells rapidly degraded. In a child with excessive nutrients, as an adult, the function of any parts are significantly reduced.
