The harm of children not eating vegetables

Many mothers will encounter a very troublesome problem in the process of bringing up their children, that is, children are picky eaters. Most children do not like to eat vegetables but love to eat meat. However, mothers also know that eating only meat and not vegetables is very bad for children's health. In severe cases, it may cause three highs at a young age. Green vegetables are rich in vitamins and crude fiber, which can break down the greasy fat in meat to a limited extent and moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements. Let's talk in detail about the dangers of not eating green vegetables.

Constipation often occurs. Not eating vegetables will result in insufficient fiber intake, which will have little irritation to the intestinal wall, causing intestinal muscle motility to weaken and feces to stay in the intestine too long. As a result, babies often suffer from constipation and absorb toxic components in the feces into the blood, affecting normal metabolism and making them prone to illness. Eating more vegetables can prevent baby from constipation and other diseases. Eating more vegetables can increase immunity and resistance.

Damage to the intestinal environment. The cellulose in vegetables can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria. If you don't eat vegetables often, it will destroy the growth environment of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and affect the intestines' ability to absorb nutrients.

Insufficient vitamin C intake. Vegetables are the main source of vitamin C, which has a great impact on the baby's development. It can promote calcium deposition and is an essential nutrient for the healthy development of teeth and bones of rapidly growing babies. If you don't eat vegetables regularly, you may experience pulp bleeding, pulpitis, soft and easy-to-break bones, subcutaneous bleeding, and physical infection.

Insufficient vitamin A intake. Yellow-green vegetables are rich sources of beta-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. A lack of vitamin A will affect the baby's vision, skin, mucous membranes and other functions, leading to night blindness, dermatitis or recurrent respiratory tract infections.

Excessive energy intake. Not eating vegetables during meals will make it difficult for babies to feel full, which will often cause them to unknowingly consume too much energy, leading to obesity and affecting their health in adulthood.

Often have poor appetite. Babies who often do not eat vegetables will also be affected in other physiological functions of the body, and often experience symptoms such as loss of appetite and poor appetite.
