Extra meals during recess-do your best.

Whether to add meals between classes is one of the issues that parents are generally concerned about. From the point of view of students' health, it is of course the best to have a health science lunch. At present, some primary and secondary schools have carried out extra meals for students between classes. There are various sources of food for extra meals, and there is no unified management standard. Due to the different conditions of schools and students' families, it is impossible to unify the requirements for extra meals between classes according to the conditions of schools and students' families.

For each child, whether it is necessary to have extra meals between classes depends on the specific situation of the students. If children have a good breakfast and adequate energy and nutrition intake, it is unnecessary to add meals during recess. In poor mountainous areas, the nutrition of breakfast is poor, so it is beneficial for students to sing a cup of fresh soybean milk and eat some nutritious and hygienic food as their lunch. Schools with conditions in cities can also carry out extra meals between classes to improve children's nutritional status.

It should be noted that the recess meal: the recess meal should be between breakfast and lunch, generally around 10 am. Too early, the child has no appetite; Too late will affect lunch. The types of meals between classes should be complete. Choose nutritious, digestible and non-greasy foods, such as milk, soybean milk, soybean milk and so on. Don't eat too much food between classes; Educate students to wash their hands before class and choose healthy food to prevent food poisoning.

Fast food-should not be eaten often.

In recent years, fast food, as a new consumption fashion, has been quickly accepted by young people. Primary and middle school students often visit fast food restaurants on holidays, birthdays and classmates' parties. In particular, western-style fast food will accompany children to eat fast food with eye-catching signs, novel sales methods, relaxed dining environment and small gifts when eating. When people enjoy the fast, clean and new food brought by fast food, they don't think that eating fast food often will affect their children's health.

At present, the production of fast food is mainly fried, so fast food contains more calories. A western-style hamburger can meet the daily needs of an adult, but it contains relatively low other nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals (such as calcium, iron and zinc). Most drinks in fast food are high in sugar and contain almost no other nutrients except calories, fat and sugar. If you eat fast food frequently, you will consume more calories than your body needs, and the excess calories will be converted into subcutaneous fat and stored, causing obesity and increasing the risk of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Therefore, for the sake of health, primary and secondary school students should not eat fast food often, let alone as a necessary lunch every day.

Snacks-A Reasonable Choice

Eating snacks is a common phenomenon among primary and secondary school students. According to the survey, about a quarter of primary school students have the habit of eating snacks regularly. Children often eat snacks such as popsicles, puffed snacks, chocolates, biscuits and sweets, while middle school students often eat snacks such as ice cream, sweets, yogurt, plum and chocolate.

Should children eat snacks? There are different views on this issue.

Nutritionists believe that primary and secondary school students are in a special period of growth, and they need more energy and various nutrients than adults. Besides three meals, eating some healthy snacks can provide some energy and nutrition for their physical development, and children can also enjoy some snacks. Therefore, children can eat some snacks properly.

Because the nutrients contained in snacks are far less balanced and comprehensive than those in dinner, the sugar content in snacks is generally significantly higher than that in dinner. Eating snacks often can lead to problems such as dental caries and insufficient nutrition intake; So children are allowed to eat snacks, but they can't use snacks instead of meals. Children should get the nutrition they need for growth and development from three meals a day. In addition, when buying snacks, we should pay attention to buying snacks with high nutritional value and cleanliness. For older middle school students, parents should teach them to choose snacks with relatively balanced and comprehensive nutrition, guide their children to control and arrange the time of eating snacks, and let them enjoy the fun of eating snacks and be healthy.

What should I pay attention to when eating snacks?

Snacks should be eaten between meals, not near the main meal, so as not to affect appetite;

Don't eat snacks before bed. In this way, first, eating snacks before going to bed will increase the burden on the intestines and affect sleep. Second, if you don't pay attention to brushing your teeth when you eat snacks before going to bed, the food residue left between your teeth is not good for your teeth, and it will lead to dental caries over time.

Pay special attention to controlling the amount of snacks when watching TV. If you don't control it, it's easy to eat too many snacks unconsciously. Watching too much TV makes children fat, which has something to do with eating snacks while watching. You can only take out a certain amount of snacks when watching TV, so don't add any more after eating.

Remind you: students' recess meals, fast food and snacks all come from the internet. Please follow the doctor's advice before use.
