Nutritious meals for children

Diet plays a very important role in our human body. A good diet can not only provide us with energy and nutrition, but also prevent and treat diseases. Diet is even more important for children. Many parents want to know what kind of nutritious meals should be provided to their children. Below we will give you a detailed introduction to some nutritious meals suitable for children.

1. Children who grind their teeth at night

Grinding of teeth, twitching of hands and feet, and easy awakening at night are often alarm signs of calcium deficiency in the body. It is necessary to increase the intake of high-calcium foods such as green vegetables, dairy products, fish floss, and dried shrimps in a timely manner.

2. Children in noisy environments

1. Children living in noisy environments such as near highways, urban areas, factory areas, etc. should eat more eggs, milk, beans and fresh vegetables. Because noise will increase the consumption of protein and vitamins in the human body. If it is not supplemented, it will affect the physical and intellectual development of children.

2. In order to protect children's hearing, they need to consume a certain amount of magnesium. Seaweed, green leafy vegetables and grains are rich in magnesium and are good choices.

3. Fat Children

1. Choose more foods rich in vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, niacin, etc. The latest research shows that some children become obese due to a lack of these vitamins, as they play an important role in the body's fat metabolism. Once they are insufficient, they will affect the body's normal energy metabolism and cause it to become excessive, leading to obesity.

2. Drinking enough water is not only necessary for children's already vigorous metabolism, but also a condition for maintaining a normal weight, because excess fat in the body needs the participation of water to be metabolized into heat and dissipated.

3. To supplement calcium, give your children more high-calcium foods such as soy products, seafood, animal bones, etc. Fat children have overweight and increased body fluids, which increases their demand for calcium. If calcium is not supplemented, they are more likely to suffer from rickets than normal children.

4. Thin Children

Thin children often have poor appetite, diarrhea, vomiting after eating, etc., which is called malnutrition in traditional Chinese medicine, and is caused by weak spleen and stomach function. Therefore, the diet should include more foods that nourish the spleen and stomach and aid digestion, such as yam, lentils, lotus seeds, poria cocos, etc., and use more cooking methods that use water as the heat transfer medium, such as soups, stews, cakes, etc., and less cooking methods such as frying and baking that use oil as the medium. Pay attention to eating in moderation to prevent overeating from damaging the spleen and stomach, and ensure that children always maintain a strong appetite.

5. Children taking anthelmintics

Many parents have reported that their children experienced decreased appetite, poor spirits, and restless sleep after taking anthelmintics. The reason is that we emphasize dietary restrictions and ignore necessary nutritional adjustments. The correct approach is: during the period of taking anthelmintic medicine, increase the intake of foods that are both suitable for children and rich in nutrition, such as eggs, beans, fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits, so as to enhance the spleen and stomach function, and the above discomfort will disappear at the same time.

In the above article, we introduced the important role of diet to our human body. The role of diet to children is even greater. We need to provide some nutritious diet for children. The above article introduces in detail some nutritious meals suitable for children.
