Three-year-old chenchen is growing fast, and his mother thinks it's time to strengthen his nutrition. Therefore, I don't forget to make soup for Chen Chen, because my mother believes an old saying: "Nutrition is in soup". Grandma also thinks that drinking chicken, duck and fish soup is better than eating meat. Gradually, Chen Chen got into the habit of soaking rice in soup. But the soup has been "prepared" for a year. Chen Chen's little face is paler than rosy, and she doesn't like eating more and more. Dad insisted on taking Chen Chen for a physical examination, and as a result, his hemoglobin was only 9.7 g/dl. The doctor said that Chen Chen had mild anemia. Mom is puzzled. Does she give anemia to her children with nutritious soup praised by chickens, ducks and turtles? The professional answer to Chen Chen's mother's nutrition concept and practice is unscientific. Amino acids in food soup are dissolved in the soup after the meat is boiled, which not only makes the soup delicious, but also can be directly absorbed by the intestine after drinking. Generally, the longer the soup is cooked, the more amino acids are dissolved, and the more delicious and mellow it tastes. In this way, people mistakenly think that there are many nutrients in soup, which comes from this. However, the amino acids decomposed by protein in the soup are only 5%~ 10% of the original food at most, and most of the nutrients are left in the food (meat residue of chicken, duck and fish). Amino acids in protein are very important for growing babies, because their tissues and organs need a lot of protein. If you always give your baby soup instead of meat under the guidance of wrong ideas, even after the baby's teeth have grown out at the age of 2, you still regard soup as the main source of baby protein, which is an unscientific move to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon. Doing so will not only lead to anemia in the baby, but also cause other nutritional deficiency diseases, such as zinc deficiency. Because zinc exists in meat, eggs and dairy products in the form of protein binding, it cannot be directly dissolved in soup. Anemia and zinc deficiency can make your baby's appetite low, especially zinc deficiency leads to loss of taste and anorexia. In this way, the child has entered a vicious circle of malnutrition, making the body that is already lacking in nutrition even more malnourished. In addition, children's practice of mixing rice with soup will indirectly aggravate the malnutrition of young children. Because of eating like this, children can send their meals almost without chewing. As a result, the digestion and absorption of food are reduced, and an important digestion procedure is chewed one by one. Amylase in oral chewing and saliva has a preliminary digestive effect on food. Without this digestive procedure, the workload of gastrointestinal tract will increase. When children develop the bad habit of eating without chewing, the gastrointestinal tract is often too tired and even affects the digestion and absorption function. At the same time, a large amount of water in soup bibimbap will dilute digestive enzymes in saliva and gastric juice. Weakening the stomach's ability to digest food also affects the absorption of food. Therefore, no matter what kind of soup, it is impossible to be more nutritious than meat. It's good to make soup for your family, but don't forget to eat meat when you drink soup.
