Can children drink coffee?

Coffee is a drink that is popular with many people. Whether in life or work, you can make a cup of coffee at any time, which is very convenient. But now many parents, when they drink coffee themselves, will let their children try a few sips, because children are full of curiosity about coffee, and parents will not satisfy themselves. Many parents have different attitudes towards this practice. So, can children drink coffee?

1. It is best for children not to drink coffee, because children have good sleep quality and do not need to rely on coffee to refresh themselves, so it is best not to drink coffee, which has a negative impact on children.

2. The caffeine in coffee is actually a central nervous system stimulant. This substance changes the degree of a person's nervous system excitation. When a person is normal in childhood, the nervous system excitation does not need to be changed. If it is forced to change, it will cause certain psychological effects in the future, that is, there will be psychological shadows, which will temporarily or permanently change the child's personality and cause artificial distortion. I believe you definitely don't want to see this situation.

3. Children are in a critical period of growth and development. Their brains and bones are developing, and they need a lot of vitamins and trace elements such as calcium. However, coffee will destroy the vitamins in children's bodies, accelerate the consumption of calcium, and cause harm to children's bodies.

4. While coffee excites the central nervous system, it also inhibits the secretion of certain glandular hormones in the brain. Drinking coffee frequently will definitely affect children's growth and development.

5. Substances in coffee inhibit calcium absorption and affect children's bone development.

6. Coffee increases the metabolic pressure of the liver and the excretion pressure of the kidneys, which has a greater impact on the development of children's organs. Coffee does not contain nutrients that children need. In summary, children should not drink coffee.

7. Coffee can be addictive over time. Children have poor self-control and cannot control themselves if they drink too much. They always rely on coffee to stimulate their nerves, which can lead to neurasthenia. In severe cases, it can change children's personality and nature, causing symptoms such as anxiety.

8. In fact, caffeine is not only found in coffee, but also in some of our daily foods, such as tea, milk, etc. Drinking a small amount of coffee every day can also be beneficial to children's growth and development, but remember to drink in moderation. Otherwise it will have the opposite effect and even cause cancer.
