A few days ago, the neighbor\’s child was poisoned! This is no joke. 6-year-old Dongdong went to an interest class. Within a few minutes, he started vomiting and became so dizzy that he could not stand. The teacher rushed him to the hospital. After checking, I found out that Dongdong was suffering from nitrite poisoning. It turns out that Dongdong likes to eat white porridge with pickles for breakfast, and that morning he ate a lot of grandma’s freshly pickled mustard seeds. Doctors say that the nitrite content of pickles is the highest when they have been pickled for 3-8 days, and it is best to eat them after 20 days. I also have the habit of eating pickles for breakfast, and I have let my children eat a few bites, but I have never realized this problem. It may not be a problem for adults to eat pickles, but children have immature stomachs, so feeding pickles to children often is a hidden danger. I still remember reading a piece of news before: a first-grade boy’s parents didn’t have time to make breakfast for him, so they bought him a tenderloin pancake every day. After some time, the boy developed kidney failure. The doctor said that nitrite additives are usually added to take-out meat products to make the meat brighter in color, taste tender, and keep it fresh and preservative. If children consume it for a long time, toxins will accumulate in the body. Therefore, not all foods can be given to children as breakfast. What to eat for breakfast and whether it is eaten well are crucial to children\’s health. Nutritionists remind parents that the following five foods should not be included in their children’s breakfast menu. 01 Undercooked Eggs Many mothers are used to adding an egg to their children’s breakfast. My son also loves half-boiled soft-boiled eggs or fried eggs with runny yolks. When time is tight, I will pour boiling water into egg liquid and make a bowl of egg soup. But later I learned: eggs for children must be fully cooked. There is news that when a Taiwanese family was eating \”Sukiyaki\”, they accidentally fed the hot-boiled meat dipped in raw egg liquid to their children. As a result, the 2-year-old twins were infected with Salmonella, leading to sepsis and high fever for 4 days. Emergency treatment was required. It took 14 days to escape. When giving eggs to children, remember to \”prefer old eggs rather than tender eggs.\” If you process them for a while, your taste will be lost, but your health will be guaranteed. 02 Milk drinks Children’s breakfast must include dairy products, but although many dairy products look like milk, they are not real milk. For example, many sweet and sour children\’s milks, modulated milks with added walnuts, peanuts, red dates, etc., as well as the \”big fruit grains\” that we often drink that look like yogurt are not considered true pure milk or yogurt. It is a milk drink. According to national standards, the protein content in pure milk should not be less than 2.9%. Anything lower than this standard is not pure milk. For breakfast, it is best to choose pure milk or yogurt for your child, rather than milk drinks with many additives and high sugar content. Otherwise, it will only increase the feeling of fullness and greatly reduce the nutritional intake. In addition, when choosing milk for your child, you should also read the ingredient list on the packaging box and carefully identify whether it is marked with words such as \”beverage\”, \”drink\”, \”milk-containing drink\”, etc. to avoid making a wrong choice. 03 An experimental institution has conducted special experiments on overnight dishes. The results show that the bacteria in overnight dishes exceed the standard. Once eaten by children with immature gastrointestinal tracts, it can easily cause gastroenteritis. If you must eat overnight dishes, they must be fully heated, such as steaming over high heat for more than 10 minutes, to kill various bacteria and microorganisms. Of course, breakfast for children is still fresh foodmost. 04 High-sugar snacks: Convert some foods that children often eat into sugar: a bottle of lactic acid bacteria drink = 66 grams of sugar; a bottle of orange juice = 48 grams of sugar; a bottle of Coke = 35 grams of sugar; a piece of cream cake = 44 grams of sugar; a box Hua Mei is actually equal to 149 grams of sugar, equivalent to 4 bottles of Coke. If these high-sugar foods become part of your child\’s breakfast, the amount of sugar your child is consuming can\’t help but be worrying. Children\’s long-term consumption of high-sugar snacks, especially breakfast, not only damages the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract, but also causes nutritional imbalance, leading to obesity and reduced immunity. Treat your child\’s breakfast with snacks, and the child\’s body will pay for all the adverse consequences. 05 Instant noodles and quick-frozen foods Many children like to eat instant noodles. Some parents often cook instant noodles for their children because they are busy at work or lazy. But in fact, instant noodles are high-salt foods. Eating too much will affect normal appetite and reduce the sensitivity of children\’s taste buds. Children with \”heavy mouths\” are more likely to develop high blood pressure and diabetes as adults. In addition, some quick-frozen dumplings, steamed buns, chicken tenders, steaks, etc. are not suitable for regular breakfast for children. Preservatives are often added to quick-frozen foods, and if stored for too long, various pathogenic bacteria may exceed limits. Remember to give your children long-term fast-food breakfast, which is just for convenience and may bring greater safety risks to your children. My best friend’s child will enter first grade in September this year. To this end, she spent 8,000 yuan to take a nutritionist course, and another 10,000 yuan to buy a lot of small kitchen appliances, pots and pans, preparing to flex her muscles after school started. My best friend said: \”Eating is a big deal for children, especially breakfast! If children don\’t eat breakfast well, they will suffer in learning!\” In fact, in a sense, breakfast does have a certain impact on children\’s learning. A monitoring survey of primary and secondary school students in Zhejiang Province showed that compared with students who eat breakfast every day and those who have irregular breakfasts, there are significant differences in academic performance and school performance. The positive effect of eating a good breakfast is even stronger than taking extra classes outside of school! Some teachers found that many children began to lose concentration and could not sit still on the stool during the second period. After asking, I found out that these children either had a watery breakfast and were not full at all, or they secretly bought small toys with the breakfast money given by their parents and did not eat at all. Nutritionists say brain function depends largely on breakfast. If breakfast is not eaten well or is not eaten, the blood sugar in the body cannot be supplied for consumption, and the child will feel tired, irritable, unresponsive, have memory loss, and cannot concentrate. A nutritionist’s words struck a chord with me: If parents can’t provide their children with a good breakfast, then what right do they have to ask their children for concentration and academic performance? It’s not enough for children to have a good breakfast, and skipping breakfast is even more harmful. Shanghai once published a breakfast survey among primary and secondary school students: 33% of students do not eat breakfast; among students with anemia, 71% do not eat breakfast; among students with potential malnutrition, 50% do not eat breakfast. If you don\’t eat breakfast for a long time, your child\’s whole body organs will also be affected. Gastric acid will directly irritate the gastric wall, damage the gastric mucosa, and cause gastric ulcers; cholesterol and lipoproteins will be deposited on the inner walls of blood vessels, leading to arteriosclerosis and obesity; cholesterol in bile will easily precipitate, forming gallstones. most directThe danger is that the child\’s systemic immunity will be reduced and the child will be more likely to get sick. The ancestors said: \”People are iron and rice is steel. If you don\’t eat one meal, you will be hungry.\” A qualified children\’s breakfast must meet at least two major needs: sufficient calories and protein. Calories can ensure that children who are active and use their brains a lot will not be hungry; protein is an indispensable nutrient for physical development and is in high demand. The \”Dietary Guidelines for Chinese School-Aged Children (2016)\” recommends that breakfast should provide 25% to 30% of the whole day\’s energy. It should contain at least three or more foods from cereals, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products or beans, and fresh fruits and vegetables. In short, to make a qualified breakfast for your children, you can refer to the nutritional mix of \”3+3+3+1\”: 30% grains, starchy staple foods, 30% protein foods, 30% fresh vegetables and fruits, 10% nuts In fact, eating is never a simple matter, but a major event that affects a child\’s lifelong intelligence, physique, health, and even values and outlook on life. Parents’ biggest expectation for their children is to eat three meals a day, travel well throughout the year, and ultimately gain stable health and happiness for a lifetime. So, let’s start by making a delicious breakfast for your children! Only well-fed children have the motivation to make progress.
