In the morning, sunlight poured into Zhang Mei and Li Qiang's room through the window. The processed cereals on the breakfast table are not as delicious as they seem. Dr. Wang pointed out that although processed cereals are advertised on the packaging as rich in fiber and vitamins, in fact, most of the nutrients have been destroyed after being processed at high temperatures. At the same time, in order to increase the taste and extend the shelf life, a lot of sugar and artificial additives are added to the processed cereal. Not only are these additives extremely detrimental to children's gastrointestinal health and overall health, they can also lead to decreased immunity and increased disease. Therefore, parents should choose breakfast foods carefully, try to avoid processed cereals, and choose healthier foods.
In addition, we can choose homemade cereal cereals. This ensures that the nutrients of the breakfast are preserved and can be adjusted to your taste preferences and body needs. Fresh fruits, nuts and natural sweeteners can be added during the production process to add taste and nutrients. At the same time, you can also choose whole grain bread or porridge, which contains more fiber and minerals and can provide more comprehensive nutrition for your child.
Many parents think that giving their children juice is a good way to supplement their vitamins. However, many packaged juices on the market contain a lot of additives and sugars, which is another addition to children's breakfasts"Fake nutrition"。Dr. Wang reminded Zhang Mei that although these juices are sweet and sour, they are extremely high in sugar and have little fiber supplement. Long-term consumption of these juices can lead to tooth erosion, increasing the risk of obesity and diabetes. Therefore, parents should choose fresh fruits, cut them into cubes or juice them, and ensure that their children are getting all the natural vitamins and fiber. In addition, in order to adjust the taste, you can add an appropriate amount of water to the juice or mix it with other fruits and vegetables, so that children can enjoy the delicious taste while growing up healthy.
Yogurt is a great calcium and probiotic** that provides essential nutrients for your child's growth and development. However, instant yogurt products on the market often add a lot of sugar and preservatives in order to improve the taste. These additives can not only negatively affect the gastrointestinal health of the child, but also affect the development of immunity. Therefore, when choosing yogurt, parents can choose to make their own yogurt or choose sugar-free and low-sugar yogurt products. Many supermarkets also sell sugar-free, low-sugar yogurt products, so parents can read the product label carefully before making a purchase to choose a healthier yogurt.
At the same time, to add more healthy ingredients, parents can also try homemade yogurt, which not only controls sugar intake, but also adds fresh fruits, nuts and grains to increase taste and nutrition.
Toast and bread are one of our common breakfast foods and a choice for many families. However, sugar-sweetened toast and bread in the market have always had health problems. Dr. Wang Bo told Zhang Mei that refined flour is used in these foods, which has low nutritional value and has a lot of added sugar and trans fats. Long-term intake of these foods can affect your child's growth and development, leading to an increased risk of obesity and metabolic diseases.
Parents can choose from whole-wheat bread or homemade bread as a staple for breakfast. Whole wheat bread is rich in fiber and vitamins, which provide more energy and nutrients. In addition, parents can add nuts, dried fruits, and peanut butter to bread for added taste and nutrition.

Therefore, as parents, we need to pay attention to our children's breakfast choices and avoid giving them unhealthy foods.
