The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, and every household is immersed in a joyful atmosphere. For children, the Spring Festival is a time to indulge in delicious food. However, how to make children eat both satisfying and healthy during the Chinese New Year? The following four dietary suggestions must be collected by parents!
1. Reasonable collocation, balanced meat and vegetables.
During the Spring Festival, big fish and meat are indispensable on the dining table of every household. However, children are in a critical period of growth and development, and the diet should focus on the combination of meat and vegetables to ensure balanced nutrition. Parents can prepare some protein-rich meats for their children, such as chicken, pork, beef, etc., with appropriate amounts of vegetables, fruits and grains to provide enough vitamins and dietary fiber. In this way, children can receive comprehensive nutrition and grow up healthily.
2. Control the amount of food you eat and avoid overdose.
During the Spring Festival, children are often faced with a variety of delicacies**, and they will eat too much if they are not careful. Parents should pay attention to controlling their children's food intake and avoid excessive food intake. At the same time, we should also pay attention to guiding children to develop healthy eating habits, such as chewing slowly and not eating snacks. If your child is already full, you can reduce the intake of staple foods appropriately, or choose some light and easy-to-digest foods to avoid digestive burden.
3. Choose healthy snacks and avoid high sugar and fat.
During the Spring Festival, every household will prepare some snacks to entertain guests. However, many snacks contain high sugar and fat ingredients, which is not good for children's health. Parents should choose some healthy and nutritious snacks, such as nuts and dried fruits, and try to avoid letting their children consume too many high-sugar and high-fat snacks. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to controlling the frequency and amount of snacks that children eat, so as not to affect the intake of meals.
4. Drink more water and drink less.
During the Spring Festival, every household prepares a variety of drinks to entertain guests. However, many drinks are high in sugar and carbonic acid, which is not good for children's health. Parents should encourage their children to drink more water and drink less. If your child does want to drink a drink, you can choose some low-sugar, low-carbonated beverages, such as coconut water, lemonade, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to controlling the frequency and amount of drinks that children drink, so as not to affect their physical health.
In short, the Chinese New Year period is a good time for children to enjoy good food. Parents should pay attention to their children's healthy diet, mix food reasonably, control the amount of food, choose healthy snacks, drink more water and drink less drinks. In this way, children can enjoy the food while maintaining a healthy physical condition. Finally, I wish all the children a healthy, happy and strong new year!
