What fruits are good for children to eat in winter

Children are the treasures of the family. Now it is the cold winter. Many parents begin to worry about their children's diet. Fruits are also indispensable in children's lives, because fruits contain some nutrients that cannot be supplemented in many diets. Therefore, we need to pay attention to them in daily life. So what fruits are good for children to eat in winter? The following is a detailed introduction to this issue. I hope that parents can pay attention to their children's diet in winter and enable their children to grow up healthily.

1. Hawthorn: It is sour, sweet, and slightly warm in nature and is extremely nutritious. Every 100 grams of fresh hawthorn pulp contains up to 89 mg of vitamin C, ranking third among fruits. In particular, its calcium content, with 85 mg per 100 grams of pulp, is also among the best. It is very suitable for the calcium needs of children and pregnant women, and it also has significant therapeutic effects on more than a dozen diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes.

2. Snow pear: reduces phlegm and relieves cough. When the weather is dry, babies are prone to catching colds. You can feed them pear porridge or stewed pears with rock sugar frequently. Because pears are cold in nature, they can moisten the lungs, produce fluid, clear lung heat, and thus relieve cough and eliminate phlegm. However, eating pears when your baby has diarrhea will only aggravate the condition.

3. Citrus: can eliminate phlegm and activate blood circulation. When babies suffer from acute or chronic bronchitis in autumn and winter, eating citrus fruits can dredge the meridians and eliminate phlegm, thus helping with treatment. Eating too many citrus fruits will cause the baby to get a sore throat. So stop feeding the baby two to three fruits a day. In addition, babies should not drink milk within 1 hour before or after eating citrus fruits. Otherwise, the fruit acid in the citrus fruits will coagulate immediately after meeting the protein in the milk, affecting the absorption of nutrients in the citrus fruits.

4. Banana: laxative and intestinal. Bananas are sweet and sticky, and can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. Therefore, it is also a fruit that mothers often give to their babies. However, it is not advisable for babies to eat too many bananas in a short period of time, especially for babies with weak spleen and stomach. Otherwise, it will cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Generally speaking, for babies who don’t eat too much, one stick is enough at a time, and they can eat it twice a day.

Children are the treasures in the hands of their parents. Of course, they hope that their children can pay more attention to diet in daily life, especially in winter. Of course, fruit is also indispensable in the lives of our children, but parents don’t know what fruits to give their children in winter. The fruits introduced above are what children can eat in winter. I hope that parents can pay enough attention to it.
