Most pupils like to eat snacks.
In the interview, the reporter found that fried foods such as ice cream, instant noodles, candy, chocolate, cola, potato chips and French fries are all snacks that primary school students like. Chen Junyao, a fifth-grade student at Waihai Central Primary School, said that he would go to the mall once or twice a month to buy snacks and choose his favorite potato chips. He said that these snacks are so delicious that sometimes they really make him want to stop. However, he also realized that eating too many snacks would be bad for his health. Chen Henghua, a fourth-grade experimental primary school in Pengjiang District, also likes to eat snacks, but when buying snacks, she only buys what she likes, without considering the brand issue or paying attention to the production date on the snack packaging. Huang of Zhongshan Primary School in Pengjiang District said that although he likes snacks very much, he has no other snacks except three meals a day because his mother won't let him eat them.
Although most primary school students like to eat snacks, some students are exceptions. Chang Yue, a first-year student at Zicha Primary School, is one of them. She said that her mother often warned her that eating snacks is not good for her health, so she generally doesn't eat snacks, but only eats some fruits rich in nutrition and vitamins, such as pears, apples, bananas, watermelons, grapes and strawberries.
Parents object to children eating snacks.
Children eating snacks is a headache for parents. Most parents interviewed by the reporter are against children eating snacks. Mr. Li's child is in the sixth grade this year. He is very opposed to children eating snacks, so he is very strict with children. So children seldom buy snacks. Ms. Wang, whose child is in the third grade of primary school this year, told reporters that due to strict parental discipline, children do not often eat snacks, but only occasionally eat a little. She often tells her children seriously about the disadvantages of eating snacks. For example, some snacks contain pigments or other carcinogens harmful to the human body, and eating "junk food" with high calorie and high fat can easily lead to obesity. Ms. Wang will also give negative examples around her to explain the disadvantages of eating snacks to her children. At ordinary times, she also pays attention to cultivating children's health awareness and teaches them not to eat other snacks except dinner, but to eat more fruits and vegetables. Because of the detailed analysis of the interest in eating snacks with children, children can better control their mouths and not eat snacks. Of course, some parents are worried that their children will eat snacks. Ms. Liang said that at home, children don't eat snacks, but they have pocket money, and sometimes he buys them secretly.
Nutritionist
Learn to treat nutritious food as a snack.
Relevant data show that fried food, pickled food, processed meat, carbonated drinks, convenience food, canned food, frozen dessert and barbecue food are among the top ten "junk foods" assessed by the World Health Organization. To this end, the reporter interviewed Liang Jinlian, a nutritionist in our city. She said that eating snacks does more harm than good to children.
Miss Liang said that eating too many snacks will lead to obesity and gastrointestinal discomfort, which will affect the normal development of children's bodies. For example, fried foods such as French fries are mostly processed with recycled oil, which will stimulate the stomach and cause sore throat; Frozen foods such as ice cream can also affect the stomach, because children's gastrointestinal mucosa is very sensitive to cold stimulation. Eating too many cold drinks will cause gastrointestinal blood vessels to contract suddenly, affect local blood supply and gastric juice secretion, and cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of appetite. Eating too much sweets is prone to dental caries and obesity, and sweets contain a lot of sucrose, which has no other nutrition except providing heat energy. Eating more sweets will affect appetite and make protein and other nutrients insufficient, thus affecting children's growth and development. Miss Liang suggested that children should eat less or not eat these "junk foods" that simply provide calories but do not contain other nutrients, or provide substances that are beyond the needs of the human body and become redundant ingredients.
It may be unrealistic to completely ban children from eating snacks. Therefore, Miss Liang suggested that children should treat some nutritious foods as snacks, and pay attention to the matching of thickness when eating snacks, because no natural food can provide all the nutrients needed by the human body, and a balanced diet must be composed of a variety of foods to meet the various nutritional needs of the human body and achieve the purpose of reasonable nutrition and health promotion.
Miss Liang said that children can try to use wheat biscuits and fruits as their own snacks, because eating wheat cakes can supplement the shortage of coarse grains, and wheat is rich in vitamin E, calcium, phosphorus and iron; There are also dried sweet potatoes, which can provide carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber and vitamin B; Fruit is rich in vitamins and some trace elements, as well as nutrients such as glucose, fruit acid, citric acid, malic acid and pectin. So eating fruit can supplement vitamins as a whole.
Another danger of eating snacks is malnutrition. Because most of the snacks we usually eat lack vitamins and minerals, they are called junk food. Not only that, snacks also consume vitamin B in our bodies to burn the sugar we eat. The gradual reduction of vitamins in the body will make people nervous, irritable, unable to concentrate, lose energy and lose sleep. Meanwhile, snacks prevent us from absorbing normal nutrition. It is said that Clinton likes popcorn very much, but it contains a lot of lead, which will affect children's intellectual and physical development and damage the nervous function of adults.
Fragrant, crisp, sweet, sour and salty snacks, such as plum, toffee and chocolate, are all children's favorite foods. Often dinner is not eaten, and these foods do not leave the mouth. As a result, the children get thinner and thinner.
Eating snacks from time to time will inevitably lead to insufficient gastrointestinal rest, reduced secretion of digestive juice, and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. At the same time, if you eat too many sweets, sugar will easily ferment and produce gas in the intestine, which will make your stomach feel full and your appetite will be greatly affected. In this way, children are in a hungry state that seems to be full but not full, and the required nutrition is insufficient, which hinders the growth of the orthodox school. In addition, when eating snacks, you must use your hands, and sometimes you will get infected with diseases because your hands are not clean, such as acute gastroenteritis and intestinal worms. In this case, how to ensure the nutrition of children every day?
Of course, these snacks are not absolutely not for children to eat, the key is to be appropriate and timely. It is ok to use some sweets after meals, but the amount should be small, not too often, and you can't live on snacks.
What should children do if they like snacks?
It is often seen that some children don't want to eat after eating, and always like to eat snacks, which will affect their health in the long run. There are two main reasons why children eat snacks:
Some parents spoil their children so much that everything depends on their temperament. They buy whatever they want to eat and eat while standing. Over time, they formed the habit of eating snacks.
Some families have irregular diets, and the eating time is sooner or later, so they can't form a regular and quantitative habit. Sometimes when cooking is late and children are afraid of hunger, they will give them snacks such as biscuits and cakes, which will increase the burden on their gastrointestinal tract, and the dysfunction of the digestive system will reduce their appetite and taste bad.
It is an unhealthy bad habit for children to eat snacks. Teachers and parents should pay attention to it and make great efforts to educate children to change the habit of eating snacks.
Corrective methods should pay attention to the following points:
First, understand it.
Parents should combine specific cases and educate primary school students not to eat snacks through various channels. Jiang Qing's eating snacks is harmful to the healthy development of human beings, which makes primary school students really realize the disadvantages of eating snacks ideologically. On the basis of the whole class education, teachers should pay attention to the work of individual students and talk to primary school students who like snacks respectively. First, understand their daily habits and diet, and then put forward specific requirements, such as telling them not to eat snacks one and a half hours before meals. In a few days, the teacher will ask the students about their dietary changes and praise them in time if they find any progress. On the contrary, we should give appropriate criticism to help them overcome the habit of eating snacks. The third is to conduct home visits or hold parent-teacher conferences. Teachers and parents actively cooperate to help students get rid of the bad habit of eating snacks.
Second, eat regularly.
Eat three meals a day regularly and quantitatively, and don't give children snacks before meals, so as not to affect their appetite. Children eat a good dinner, it is no longer like eating snacks. Parents should help their children to establish a reasonable work and rest system, so that children can eat on time and develop good living habits. Psychology tells us that the same stimulus will form a fixed conditioned reflex system (that is, dynamic stereotype) in the cerebral cortex, which is often called "habit becomes nature". Once good habits are formed, children can eat on time without having to work hard all the time. Whenever they are close to eating, they will feel hungry and have a conditioned reflex. The digestive organs will secrete digestive juice, and the stomach will peristalsis on time, which will make children eat sweet and easy to digest and absorb food. Therefore, it can be said that the cultivation of good eating habits is also an educational means, which is not only beneficial to the physical health of primary school students, but also conducive to cultivating their organizational and discipline qualities.
Third, adjust the diet.
In order to stimulate the appetite and let the children eat well, parents should try their best to make the food better, change the pattern, make the food delicious and delicious, and then take a nice name.
Fourth, prevent partial eclipse.
To get enough nutrition for children, it is best to give them a balanced diet to prevent partial eclipse. Don't eat too much of everything, because almost everything contains some kind of nutrition that the human body needs. But no food can contain all the nutrients the human body needs. If one kind of food is eaten too much, the amount of other foods will naturally decrease relatively, which will lead to the lack of other nutrients.
Fifth, control pocket money.
Nowadays, many children's parents, especially the parents of the only child, often give their children pocket money, which provides convenient conditions for their children to buy snacks. Therefore, teachers should educate primary school students not to ask parents for money for snacks, and parents should purposefully control the pocket money given to their children, so that primary school students can avoid buying and eating, which can effectively control primary school students to eat snacks.
