Jelly taboo

1 year-old children should not eat jelly, because children in this period still have few teeth and can't chew and crush jelly normally. Once sucked in to block the glottis, it will suffocate in a few minutes. Because jelly is jelly, even if it is dredged, it is difficult and requires surgery. And older children had better not eat jelly by smoking, but take a bite or eat it with a spoon.

Because the self-protection mechanism of children's bodies is not perfect, when eating jelly, it is easy for jelly to enter trachea or bronchus, forming foreign bodies in organs and causing suffocation.

Matters needing attention in jelly

First, the production of jelly is inseparable from food additives. Although they are all safe, children should not eat more, just eat 50- 100 grams a day.

Second, some jellies are "fruity" jellies. There is no juice pulp in the raw materials, but fruit flavor and food pigment. This kind of jelly has low nutritional value, so it is best not to eat it.

Third, when choosing jelly, we must look at whether the packaging is strong and whether there is air leakage, not just cheap. From a nutritional point of view, children should drink more milk, eat more fruits, have a reasonable diet, not be partial to food, and eat as little jelly as possible.
