What is nutritious for children to eat at night?

For children, the most important thing is to grow physically, so what kind of food they eat every day is also very critical. As parents of children, we must carefully choose food every day and never let them develop the bad habit of eating junk food. But many mothers are tired of cooking every day and don’t know what kind of food to prepare for their children. So, what should children eat nutritiously at night?

1. How to arrange a nutritious dinner time for children

The time should be controlled around 6 o'clock in the evening, so that there are four hours left for sleeping at night, and the latest dinner time should not be later than 8 o'clock. It is a more suitable time for dinner. Although many people nowadays do not pay attention to dinner or even skip it, dinner is very important for children. Dinner should be rich, but not too filling. This ensures that the food is properly digested by the time you go to sleep.

2. What is a good nutritious dinner for children?

Dinner must first contain ingredients containing carbohydrates. The Chinese tradition is to eat rice, which can keep the body adequately rested and promote sleep. In addition, bread is also suitable. Secondly, you should eat foods containing tryptophan, such as whole grains, bananas or algae. Finally, there should be foods containing vitamin B. This type of food is found in milk and eggs. It can stabilize the nerves, help concentrate the attention, and is more conducive to children's study and work schedule at night.

First of all, for the staple food, you must drink something with dinner. Don’t just eat without drinking, as that is not good for digestion. You can just drink a bowl of porridge or something lighter.

As for dishes, it is best to have both meat and vegetables, because for primary school students, they need to supplement nutrition in all aspects. Meat dishes can supplement them with protein, etc., while vegetables can supplement them with vitamins and other nutrients, so they should eat some of both.

At dinner time, try to eat less or no fried foods or purchased snacks. Eating these puffed foods at night is not good for primary school students' digestion.
