What are the benefits of drinking glucose for children

Glucose is a common health product. Drinking glucose has a very good effect when the human body's resistance is weak or the blood sugar level is low. Of course, giving children glucose regularly can also prevent tooth decay, prevent getting angry, promote brain activation, protect the liver, enhance myocardial function or increase the baby's basal calories. Here we will introduce to you the benefits of drinking glucose for children.

1. What are the benefits of drinking glucose for babies?

1. Adding glucose to rice flour and milk powder can not only increase the sweetness but also prevent tooth decay. At the same time, the baby is not easily inflamed and can quickly replenish physical energy.

2. Glucose is the main substance that provides energy to the brain and can promote brain activation.

3. Glucose can promote the liver's detoxification function and protect the liver.

4. Adding infant glucose to newborns can prevent and treat physiological jaundice, promote the excretion of meconium, and supplement nutrition.

5. Glucose for infants and young children can enhance myocardial energy, promote bone development, activate cells, improve immunity and prevent diarrhea.

6. When the baby is sick, refuses to eat or is weak, feeding glucose can ensure the baby's basic calorie needs.

2. Precautions for babies drinking glucose

However, it should be noted that feeding too much and for too long, while ignoring the supply of other foods, can affect the child's appetite, and because protein and other nutrients cannot be supplemented, it can lead to growth retardation, severe recurrent infections, malnutrition, etc. It can also cause transient diabetes due to increased blood sugar, resulting in symptoms of thirst, polydipsia and polyuria.

3. The role of glucose

The central nervous system relies almost entirely on blood sugar as energy. Once blood sugar drops to 80 mg%, diabetes may occur. Glucose is produced industrially by hydrolysis of starch. In the 1960s, microbial enzyme method was used to produce glucose. This is a major innovation and has obvious advantages over acid hydrolysis. During production, the raw materials do not need to be refined, and no acid-resistant or pressure-resistant equipment is required. The sugar solution has no bitterness and has a high sugar yield. Glucose is mainly used as an injectable nutrient in medicine (glucose injection); in the food industry, glucose can be used to produce fructose after being treated with isomerase, especially fructose syrup containing 42% fructose, which has the same sweetness as sucrose and has become an important product in the current sugar industry.

Glucose is an indispensable nutrient for metabolism in living organisms. The heat released by its oxidation reaction is an important source of energy required for human life activities. It can be used directly in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing leather industry, and glucose is often used as a reducing agent in the mirror industry and in the silver plating process of thermos flasks. Glucose is also used in large quantities in industry as a raw material to synthesize vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
