Raw Juice Life makes babies love fruits and vegetables

Vegetables and fruits are important sources of nutrients for our bodies, and of course they are also very necessary for babies. In fact, there are many babies in life who do not like to eat vegetables and fruits. Parents must pay attention to this, because such babies will definitely cause gastrointestinal problems if they cannot eat more vegetables and fruits for a long time. At that time, poor appetite and constipation will come knocking on the door. This habit will also reduce the baby's resistance and cause various diseases.

There is a way to pay attention

Wrong method

Some parents also see the problem that their babies don’t like to eat fruits and vegetables, but the methods they adopt are not correct.

Detail 1: Use vegetable powder instead of vegetables

Some parents use vegetable powder instead of eating vegetables, or even add it to formula milk for their babies. Generally, vegetable powder is made at high temperature, and the nutrients in it, including vitamin C and B vitamins, will be lost in large quantities.

Detail 2: Fruits instead of vegetables

Some parents use fruits instead of vegetables because their babies don’t like to eat them. This is also incorrect. In the food structure of a balanced diet, there is a basic principle that fruits and vegetables are two groups of food and cannot replace each other.

Although fruits and vegetables have similarities - both are rich in vitamin C, minerals and dietary fiber, they also have differences - the content of vitamins and some trace elements in some fruits is not as good as that in fresh vegetables, while the glucose, fructose, citric acid, pectin and other substances contained in fruits are richer than those in vegetables. In real life, the applications of vegetables and fruits are also obviously different. Vegetables are great ingredients for making dishes. They can be transformed into a variety of delicious dishes when cooked alone or paired with meat dishes. Fruit is usually eaten as a snack. For example, eating one fruit alone or putting several fruits together in yogurt makes a delicious after-meal dessert. Of course, fruits can sometimes be used in dishes, such as pineapple chicken nuggets, fruit and vegetable salads, etc.

Detail 3: Add fruits first and then vegetables

In terms of the order of adding complementary foods, vegetable puree must come before fruit juice. Because the baby drank sweet juice first, he doesn’t like to eat vegetables anymore. If you add fruits first and then vegetables, your baby will easily develop a habit of not liking to eat vegetables, so this cannot be ignored.

Good habits are cultivated with patience:

The Right Way

Many babies don’t like to eat fruits and vegetables, but how can they supplement the necessary vitamins every day? Drinking vegetable and fruit juice is a simple and quick choice. In order for babies to develop the habit of eating vegetables and fruits from an early age, parents must have patience and necessary skills.

3. Apple Juice

Apples contain the most vitamins among all fruits, making baby's skin more delicate and pleasant. Apple sweat is suitable for babies of all physiques. If the baby has a cold stomach, then cook the apple puree and don’t eat it for too long, five to ten minutes is enough. It can also prevent the baby from zinc deficiency and supplement zinc.

4. Fresh orange juice

Fresh oranges are rich in vitamin C and carotene. When your baby wakes up from a nap, he or she can drink a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which can stimulate the appetite and satisfy cravings.

Green is the symbol of life on earth, so the color of the juice should also correspond to this. As a good starter to juicing, try a combination of celery, fennel, and cucumber, as these are very easy to digest vegetables. It’s also a good idea to start with apples because they blend well with vegetables and can make up for the lack of flavor and nutritional concentration in vegetable juice. If your baby's body has adapted to vegetable and fruit juice, you can start choosing a variety of vegetables and fruits for processing, such as lettuce, romaine lettuce and spinach.

Ps: When giving juice to babies, it is recommended to dilute the juice and water in a ratio of 1:2 or even 1:3. If there is no obvious change in the baby's stool after drinking the juice, you can gradually change from light to thick, to 1:1 or 2:1.

For the healthy growth of the baby, it is recommended that parents squeeze fresh juice, which is nutritious and fresher. The above four types are freshly squeezed juices that are very suitable for babies. Why insist on drinking freshly squeezed juice? Because juice is easy to digest and absorb, it is easily accepted by the human body and then converted into what the human body needs. But one thing you must note is that you must not use frozen fruits, because frozen fruits not only easily irritate the stomach and intestines, but also cause irritation to the upper respiratory system.
