What fruit is best for children?

Children's immunity is generally low, so they should eat more nutritious foods or fruits to improve their immunity. At the same time, they can also supplement vitamins to promote children's growth and development. Fruits are high in vitamins, but not all fruits are suitable for children. Some fruits may cause diarrhea or inflammation in children. Let’s take a look at which fruits are best for children.

It is best for infants and young children to eat a variety of seasonal fresh fruits. After the baby is 6 months old, you can add apple puree, banana puree, and pear puree to the rice cereal. Add from small amounts to large amounts and observe the child's condition. If the baby experiences symptoms such as crying, irritability, vomiting, loose stools, or other gastrointestinal discomfort, stop adding fruit puree and add it again in small amounts after a few days, paying attention to the baby's adaptation. If infants and young children cannot adapt to fruit puree, you can add fruit juice, or dilute the fruit juice with water and add it to the rice flour to allow the child to gradually adapt.

1. What fruits are good for babies with colds?

If the baby's cough is very severe, it is not good for him to eat acidic fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, or even sour apples, because acidic foods will cause phlegm to form, which is not conducive to the discharge of phlegm and will aggravate the cough. However, for a simple cold, the baby can eat more citrus fruits, because the vitamin content in citrus fruits is very high. When the baby has a cold, he needs to supplement a lot of vitamins, which will help him recover.

There is no specific type of fruit that is good for babies with colds. As long as they are given the right amount, they can eat whatever they like. For example, oranges may cause internal heat, but babies just like them, so it's okay to eat one or two slices. Any fruit has its nutritional value and is good for the baby's body.

2. What should babies eat when they have a cold?

1. Cold patients often suffer from loss of appetite, indigestion and other symptoms, so the diet should be light, soft and easy to digest and absorb. It is advisable to eat small meals frequently.

2. Due to reasons such as fever, rapid breathing, coughing and increased secretions in the trachea, the child loses a lot of body fluids. Therefore, you should pay attention to replenishing more fluids. The best fluid is boiled water. Whether it is in the early prevention or the later treatment, it is important to drink more boiled water, which is convenient for preventing dehydration and reducing the viscosity and dryness of secretions in the respiratory tract, which is conducive to the child coughing up sputum.

3. When children have a cold, the consumption of vitamins in the body increases and the vitamin content in the blood decreases, so they should pay attention to eating more dark green and orange-green vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins to increase the children's resistance to disease.

4. Meat, seafood and poultry are the richest in zinc. In addition, various beans, nuts and seeds are also good zinc-containing foods and can be chosen.

5. Foods rich in vitamin C. VC can indirectly promote antibody synthesis and enhance immunity.
