Spring children's diet trilogy

1, to ensure adequate supply of calcium.

Spring is a good season for children to grow up, and the height of children is mainly the result of bone development. The main component of bones is calcium, so children should be provided with enough calcium in spring. Children need 700-800 mg of calcium every day, and the appropriate supply is not less than 1000 mg per day. There are generally two ways to supplement calcium: one is medicine supplement, and the other is food supplement. It is best to adopt the method of food tonic. Foods rich in calcium include sesame, day lily, radish, carrot, kelp, mustard, snail, shrimp skin and so on. Then there is ribs soup or bone soup, which is not only rich in calcium, but also helps the body absorb calcium. Children should not be allowed to eat more sugar, chocolate and cakes, because they contain more phosphate, which will hinder the metabolism of calcium in the body.

2, add more vitamin C.

The function of vitamin C in human body is to improve the sensitivity of cranial nerves, make the brain respond flexibly to stimuli, and also improve immunity and disease resistance, which plays an important role in children's brain and body. It is windy in spring and the climate is dry, which is easy to cause bleeding. Vitamin C has a good effect on preventing bleeding, so it must be supplemented in time. There are two ways to supplement vitamin C: one is to take vitamin C tablets, and the other is to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Such as oranges, apples, tomatoes, radishes, jujubes, etc.

3. Coarse grains and miscellaneous grains are all good.

Coarse grains and miscellaneous grains can first supply minerals to human body, ensuring the supply of trace elements, such as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, calcium, phosphorus, etc., followed by cellulose and various vitamins, and then organic compounds with special structures, such as aromatic substances and amino acids. Moreover, the diversification of food is also very helpful to promote appetite, arouse children's appetite and enhance children's digestion and absorption ability. Common coarse cereals include corn, millet, glutinous rice, mung bean and soybean.

4. Eat more foods containing natural sugar.

In spring, due to the warmer climate and shorter days and nights, children's metabolic function is vigorous, outdoor activities are greatly prolonged, and the consumption of calories and nutrients will increase relatively, making children often feel hungry. Therefore, children can be supplemented with calories and nutrition by adding meals in spring. The appropriate time for eating is 10- 1 1, and 3-5 pm. You can choose foods containing natural sugar as dinner, such as peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, chestnuts, raisins, preserved fruits and honey water.

5. Eat food rich in vegetable fat regularly.

Fat can not only moisten the whole body and make people look smooth, but also be converted into heat in the process of metabolism for children to use in activities, and can also be converted into structural substances of the brain through metabolism to expand brain capacity. Because the human brain is 50-80% fat, and it is mainly unsaturated fat composed of plant fat, it is very necessary to provide children with enough plant fat. Ways to provide vegetable fat: First, add more vegetable oil to vegetables, but pay attention to fried food should not be eaten more; The second is to eat some small foods rich in plant fat, such as peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts and sunflower seeds.
