"I can't eat well at school at noon. When I get home in the afternoon, the first thing is to eat and eat hard. "
"Our dinner is nutritious, with fish, chicken and meat, fried and fried, and it tastes great."
"My mother said that the school lunch is not good, and I have to make it up at night. If I eat less, my mother will be unhappy! "
"When children are growing up, they don't want to eat breakfast, and they can't eat well at school at noon. He has to make up for dinner. "
"Dinner should be nutritious and not short of meat, otherwise how can children grow up?" ..... This is the answer given by some primary and middle school students and parents in Tianjin in recent days. "Compensatory" dinner is becoming the habit of many families.
Zhao Xia, an assistant researcher at the Children's Research Institute of China Youth Research Center, pointed out that this kind of "compensation" meal is not desirable, especially some "unreasonable" compensation, which not only does not help, but also brings unexpected harm.
First, "compensatory" dinner can easily lead to loss of appetite at breakfast. Every child's digestive system has a certain limit, and food needs some time to digest and absorb. If you eat too much, too much, or eat too late, it will take a long time to digest and absorb these nutrients, which will lead to children losing their appetite and eating after getting up. Poor breakfast leads to poor energy and low learning efficiency throughout the morning.
Second, "compensatory" dinner may lead to children's obesity. Dinner is too rich, children's intake of nutrients exceeds the needs of growth and development, and there is little activity at night. Excess calories synthesize fat under the action of insulin, which gradually makes people fat.
Third, "compensatory" dinner may also lead to some diseases. Due to the appearance of excess fat, it will increase the burden on the child's heart and may cause diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis earlier.
