In the process of a child's growth, if he has a healthy diet and rest rhythm, his brain's internal biochemical reactions are running well, and his mentality and thinking can develop in a healthy direction, while in the case of malnutrition and lack of sleep, the child is more likely to have problems such as anxiety and distraction. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably avoid misunderstandings in daily diet and rest and cultivate good life Xi habits in order to better escort children's physical and mental health. In this issue, the Guangzhou station of the radio program "Love Hut", which is exclusively titled by Yanzhiwu, specially invited Qin Yingjie, a family education instructor, national psychological counselor and health manager, to join you**.

Just because your child is not short of food does not mean that he or she is eating well
Today's children, not lacking food does not mean that they eat well - they eat a lot of things that should not be eaten, but they are prone to lack of key nutrients. What should be eaten and what should not be eaten?
The first thing to pay attention to is to limit the intake of high-sugar foods. High-sugar foods (including excessive carbohydrate foods), such as snacks, drinks, cakes, fructose, etc., these foods are pleasant and produce dopamine happiness, and excessive amounts are prone to insulin resistance, which aggravates the risk of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, accompanied by emotional, insomnia, decreased concentration and other problems, endangering children's physical and mental health at present and in the future.
In addition, from the perspective of functional medicine, what should be eaten and what should not be eaten also depends on the child's personal genes and congenital physical condition, and allergic foods should be avoided carefully. Some children can absorb the same type of food well, while others have intolerances and allergies, such as common meat, eggs and milk in life, as well as seafood, peanuts, gluten, etc. If it is a chronic allergy, it generally takes two or three days to appear uncomfortable manifestations, such as poor appetite, careless parents do not pay attention to observe and do not know, and high sensitivity is quite dangerous, serious will lead to vomiting, diarrhea, shock and other symptoms, life-threatening. Therefore, if the child resists to eat a certain food, he may not be hypocritical or picky eater, but allergic due to personal physical reasonsIf your child is indeed a picky eater, you may want to guide them gradually.
Two key nutrients, just eat it this way!
Understood what not to eat, so, how to eat better?Two key nutrients are highlighted. One is minerals. Among all minerals, there are four main types that affect the development of children's nervous system and mental health, namely magnesium, calcium, potassium, and zinc. Thousands of biochemical reactions occur in the human body every moment, and magnesium is a cofactor in many of them. Calcium and magnesium are relative, magnesium and calcium are balanced, so that they can cooperate to play a role and promote nerve conduction in the body, such as beans and their products, milk, green leafy vegetables, nuts, etc., are good for calcium and magnesium supplementation. Potassium, which is replenished daily through foods such as fruits and vegetables, plays a key role in the nerve conduction process, that is, the conversion of cellular energyZinc is also an important factor for cell synthesis and function, especially for the normal operation of nerve cells. Among animal foods, beef, poultry, offal, oysters, squid, seafood, and nuts contain relatively high levels of zinc. In addition, there is another class of key nutrients, which are the well-known vitamins. Vitamins are mainly involved in the biochemical reactions of the human body, and can be supplemented in grains, fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, eggs and milk to help regulate metabolic functions and maintain vitality. Supplement your child with a balanced, varied, healthy and organic diet every day, and minimize the intake of high-sugar, high-salt, high-fat foods.
In addition to nutrients, bird's nest is also a good choice for nourishing health. Throughout the ages, there have been countless records about bird's nests. In modern times, Zhang Nengrong's "Overview of the Composition and Pharmacological Research of Bird's Nest" (Chinese Journal of Biochemical Medicine, 1993(4):6-10) shows that bird's nest is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine tonic, and its main ingredient is swiftlet mucin (glycoprotein). Yanzhiwu* has been focusing on high-quality bird's nest for 26 years (*Yanzhiwu refers to Yanzhiwu enterprise), fully excavating the nutritional value of bird's nest, restoring the natural flavor of bird's nest, and creating nourishing products that are more in line with the dietary Xi habits of modern people. Yanzhiwu's high-end bird's nest brand "Bowl Bird's Nest" series products are selected from Southeast Asia's high-quality swiftlet bird's nest, and the ingredients only contain bird's nest, rock sugar, and purified water, which are natural and pure. After repeated experiments and tests, 121 high-temperature stewing is used, precision control locks freshness, fully extracts the nutritional value of bird's nest, and through the development of core technology, it achieves "0 fat, 0 preservatives, 0 thickeners, 0 additives"* (refers to the addition of preservatives potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate at 0% and thickener agar at 0% during the production process of this product). With its high quality and safety, Yanzhiwu Wanyan has become the designated bird's nest product of the Chinese National Fencing Team, and has passed strict testing by the National Doping Testing and Research Center to ensure the food safety and nutrition of consumers in all aspects. Children are at a critical stage of physical development, and need to supplement nutrition and strengthen immunity, a moist and smooth bird's nest can awaken the taste buds and build a health protection wall for children.
Sleep well to make progress every day!
The child can be on standby for a long time, but it is not a perpetual motion machine. Adequate, high-quality sleep is essential for children. It is usually recommended to go to bed before 10 o'clock, and ideally to get ready for bed at 9 o'clock. For children with heavy academics in high school, try to get better as early as possible. On the one hand, adequate sleep is a major guarantee for the healthy development of children's brains. Every day, the amygdala in the brain is always operating efficiently and nervously, secreting neurotransmitters, hormones, etc., and in the process of metabolism and energy conversion, some waste and garbage will also be produced, including dead brain cells. Generally, when you enter a state of deep sleep, the brainstem secretes a kind of cerebrospinal fluid that adsorbs and cleans up these wastes, garbage ,...... like a spongeTherefore, when he sleeps well, he is refreshed and quick-thinking, and it is easier to concentrate and double his efficiency in Xi.
On the other hand, starting around ten o'clock in the evening, the body releases two hormones. One is melatonin, which is one of the hormones secreted by the pineal gland of the brain, which mainly affects the human rhythm and biological clock, which can effectively improve sleep quality, deepen sleep, and improve the functional state of the whole bodyOne is growth hormone, which is a peptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland of the human body, which plays a key role in the growth and development of children, helping to establish healthy brain connections and maintain a stable emotional and psychological state. If the child does not get enough sleep for a long time, it is easy to lead to lack of energy during the day, negative emotions to backlog, and organic effects, such as inexplicable pain in the body, and even hyperactivity, depression, and bipolar tendencies. Try to let children reasonably allocate Xi, entertainment and sleep time, develop the Xi habit of going to bed on time, and pay attention to avoiding overeating and excessive strenuous exercise at dinner to ensure adequate and high-quality sleep.

Diet and rest are the two pillars of children's physical and mental health development. As parents, we should cultivate children's dietary Xi habits in a timely manner, and provide nutritious, organic, balanced and diverse foods as much as possibleGuide children to develop good work and rest Xi habits, reasonably allocate Xi and rest time, and enhance children's self-discipline and self-management abilityIn addition, parents themselves should also lead by example, maintain physical and mental health, emotional stability, and create a good family relationship and atmosphere, which is also the best edification and love care for children. I hope that the broadcast of this program can remind all parents to get out of the misunderstanding of diet and rest, so that children can develop good Xi and grow up healthily.
