Wen Ting's mother.
I often see some fundraising information in the circle of friends, and a child of a few years old is accepted in the hospital because of leukemia**.
When I went back to my hometown before the Chinese New Year, I heard my mother say that Aunt Li's grandson next door, who was only 8 years old, had just been diagnosed with leukemia, and now the family is sad and not in the mood for the New Year.
In the field of children's health, leukemia is undoubtedly a sharp sword that mercilessly pierces the happiness of many families.
I don't know when there is such a saying: "Leukemia picks children to start." While such a statement is too categorical and lacks scientific evidence, it does reflect a real problemChildren are at high risk of leukemia
So, as parents, how can we do a good job of prevention in our children's diets?
Recently, a senior pediatrician reminded parents in an interview: In the child's dietary choice, there are three fruits that need special attention, even if the child is hungry, try not to buy it.
What secrets are hidden behind these three seemingly ordinary fruits?
1. Non-seasonal fruits
The first fruit to be named is an out-of-season fruit.
Out-of-season fruits, also known as "out-of-season fruits", are usually grown in greenhouses or greenhouses, or sold for a longer period of time through special storage methods, such as the use of preservatives.
For example, strawberries generally grow naturally in spring or summer, and strawberries can be bought in winter, so they may be grown in a greenhouse, and by controlling conditions such as temperature, light and humidity, they can grow in unnatural seasons; Grapes are the fruit of summer, but in autumn, some varieties of grapes are still available on the market. These grapes may have been sold for a longer period of time by means of special storage, such as the use of preservatives.
Doctors point out that non-seasonal fruits often need to be transported and stored for a long time, and in order to maintain their appearance and taste, fruit farmers and merchants may use some preservatives and ripening agents.
While these chemicals are safe to use legally, long-term ingestion of these chemicals can adversely affect health and even increase the risk of disease for children who are growing and developing.
2. Fruits with a bright and flawless surface
The second type of fruit to be wary of is those that look shiny and have a flawless surface.
In the market, such fruits tend to be more popular with consumers, but they are likely to have been treated with processes such as bleaching, waxing, etc. The chemicals used in these treatments can also pose a risk to your child's health.
Therefore, when we buy fruits, we should not only look at the beauty of the surface, but also pay more attention to the natural state and safety of fruits.
3. Fruits that have not been washed sufficiently.
During the growth and harvesting of fruits, it is inevitable that they will be contaminated with bacteria and pesticide residues in the soil. If not properly cleaned, these harmful substances can be ingested by your child, and long-term accumulation can damage your child's immune system and increase the risk of disease.
In addition, doctors also recommend that you should eat less heavily processed fruits.
In the market, in addition to fresh fruits, there are many deep-processed fruit products, such as preserved fruits, canned fruits, fruit juices, etc. These deep-processed fruit products are often produced with additives such as sugar, preservatives, and coloring to improve the taste and appearance of the product and extend the shelf life. While these additives are safe to use within the limits permitted by food regulations, excessive intake can still cause health effects.
For children, their metabolism and organ function are not yet fully mature, and excessive intake of these additives may adversely affect health. In addition, some nutrients, such as vitamins and dietary fiber, may be lost during the processing of deeply processed fruit products. Therefore, from a nutritional point of view, fresh fruit is a better choice.
Summary: Although it cannot be simply said that fruits are the direct cause of leukemia in children, unscientific eating habits can indeed adversely affect children's health. Therefore, we should be more cautious when choosing fruits for our children, follow the doctor's advice, and choose fruits that are naturally ripe, chemical-free, and well-washed.
If the child is very fond of highly processed fruit products, we can provide them in moderation, but it is best not to eat them frequently.
In addition to diet, the prevention of childhood leukemia needs to be started in many ways. Maintaining good habits, avoiding exposure to harmful substances, and having regular medical check-ups are all very important preventive measures.
At the same time, we should also strengthen the understanding of childhood leukemia related knowledge, so that when children have abnormalities, they can be detected and taken measures in time.
Leukemia is not a "child-picking" group, but children are a vulnerable group. While we care for children, we should also use scientific attitudes and methods to protect their health.
