What foods are easy for children to digest?

Children's gastrointestinal function is relatively weak. If they eat some food that is difficult to digest, they are likely to have gastrointestinal discomfort, such as constipation or diarrhea, etc. Therefore, it is best to prepare some nutritious and easy-to-digest food for children. Let's learn with the editor what foods are easier to digest in daily life.

Yogurt contains probiotics (called bifidobacteria), which are one of the normal flora in the intestines. They are the "health guardian" of the human body and the "scavenger" of the intestines, and can maintain good intestinal function.

Why is Bifidobacterium called the “health guardian” of human beings? Because the bifidobacteria living in the intestines grow on the intestinal mucosa, forming a "biofilm barrier", just like building a Great Wall of Steel on the surface of the human intestine, acting as a public security police, thereby preventing invading pathogenic bacteria from growing and reproducing in the intestines. Why is Bifidobacterium called the "scavenger" of the human intestine? Because the lactic acid and acetic acid secreted by bifidobacteria can stimulate the intestinal wall, promote intestinal peristalsis, maintain normal bowel function, and excrete harmful and toxic substances in the intestines in a timely manner.

However, now, bifidobacteria are used as a commercial gimmick. Many businesses claim in their advertisements that their dairy products contain "bifidobacteria". In fact, bifidobacteria are only found in homemade yogurt. The bifidobacteria in industrial dairy products have lost their activity, or in layman's terms, they are dead. Why do you say that? Because Bifidobacterium is an anaerobic bacteria, it will easily die when exposed to air. Industrial dairy products take such a long time to reach consumers that the bifidobacteria in them have almost lost their activity. Therefore, those commercial propaganda are actually taking advantage of people's lack of nutritional knowledge and skirting the concept.

To promote children's digestion, it is best to choose freshly made yogurt for children. The bifidobacteria contained in it are the most abundant. After entering the child's gastrointestinal tract, it can help regulate the gastrointestinal flora. When giving children yogurt, it is best to choose to drink it one hour after a meal, and try not to drink it on an empty stomach.
