Writer: Easter Egg Dad
It's cold!What should I do if my child wants to eat fruit in such a cold weather?
On this point, many parents are actually controversial:
Some parents feel that the weather is too cold, the fruit is very cold, and it is easy to have a stomachache and diarrhea after eating, so don't eat it;
Some parents feel that their children resist making and eat it!
There are also parents who think that they want to eat fruits in winter and are afraid of cold, so they can't just eat it hot?
What kind of parent are you?
No matter what kind of parents you belong to, Easter egg dad still wants to say, parents listen to the advice: give the baby fruit in winter, you must heat it, not just because it is warm!
Benefit 1: It is more friendly to the baby's stomach
10 babies, 7 with poor spleen and stomach.
It is an undeniable fact that the baby's growth and development has not yet been perfectedThe function of the spleen and stomach will be relatively weak, and after eating incorrectly, it is easy to have stomach ache and diarrhea.
Heating the fruit will make the fruit warmer and make the baby eat a small belly and not be cold.
Not only that, many fruits will have polyphenols, tannins and other substances, which will inhibit the digestive enzymes in the stomach, thus affecting the baby's digestion.
However, after heating, these substances will be damaged to a certain extent, so that the stomach and intestines can better digest and absorb, and the baby's spleen and stomach will be more friendly!
Benefit 2: Relieves constipation, colds, etc
In winter, many babies have varying degrees of constipation, colds and other conditions, and eating cold fruits will only aggravate the discomfort of the body.
Heating the fruit will also have a certain relieving effect on some discomfort of the baby.
For example, the easter eggs got cold some time ago and had a little cough, and then we roasted oranges over the fire, and after eating them, we basically didn't cough.
This is not "metaphysics", but has a certain basis.
Orange peel is actually a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of dissolving phlegm and relieving chest tightness. Roasting oranges can dry the moisture in the skin in a short time, and the medicinal ingredients gradually penetrate into the flesh of the orange, and then the child eats the orange flesh, which can play a role in dissolving phlegm and relieving cough.
Moreover, the roasted oranges are really delicious, and the smell of canned oranges is so much that children love it so much!
There are many similar fruits, such as microwave-beaten bananas that can relieve constipation, rock sugar pears have a certain effect on coughs, salt-steamed oranges have a certain use in the early stage of colds, and so on.
Of course, Easter Egg Daddy reminds me,These fruits can only be used symptomatic when they are relieved or slightly unwell, and cannot replace the doctor's norms**.
Benefit 3: Increase your baby's appetite
Some parents should be able to feel that the fruit is a little sour after it has been heated.
Actually, this is because the organic acids in the fruit are brought into playAppropriate organic acids can actually increase your baby's appetiteto whet your baby's appetite.
Nowadays, many children don't like to eat very much, have a bad appetite, and exaggerate a little to describe it, that is, "a mouthful of fairy hanging", parents may be able to use hot fruits to try it!
Many parents are reluctant to give hot fruits to their children, and one of them may be that "the heated fruit will lose nutrients".
This is an unavoidable fact, but parents should also know that the loss of nutrients is not too great.
If you simply blanch it with hot water for 1-2 minutes, the temperature of the fruit is no more than a degreeGenerally speaking, vitamins A, D, K, E, etc., have relatively strong heat resistance in high temperature environments and are almost unaffected. Vitamins C, B group, etc., are more active in nature, and they may lose their activity at a temperature of degrees.
If it is a cooked fruit, there will be a loss of vitamins, but there will still be a surplus, and the child can also get vitamins through other diets, so the impact is not great.
Therefore, parents don't have to worry about "nutrient loss".
Of course, not all fruits are suitable for heatingWhen it comes to selecting hot fruits, parents can filter them like this:
First, it has to be a ripe fruit, which generally tastes good and tastes better after heating
Second, fruits with too high VC should not be heated too violently, as they are easy to sour
Third, choose fruits with relatively high sweetness, and the taste is still sweet after heating.
In general, except for fruits with specific effects, such as roasted oranges, stewed pears with rock sugar, boiled apple water, etc., most of the timeIf the child just wants to eat fruit, then it is recommended that parents only need to heat the microwave oven slightly, or use water to blanch it slightly.
The better "shallow heated" fruits are:Bananas (yyds), pineapples, apples, pears, peaches, pure sweet oranges, oranges, cherries, figs, grapes, persimmons, winter dates, and more.
