Should children be given snacks

Spicy strips, jellies, chocolate... These are children's favorite snacks, but as parents, we are worried about a problem, that is, eating too many snacks is not good for health, but children love to eat, what should I do? Oh my God, these two dilemma are more complicated than the weight reduction of the paper of that year.

Should children be given snacks

Yes, many children are now caught in the arms of snacks, and whether or not to let children eat snacks has become one of the hot topics. Let's explore this together.

Delicious is not healthy, healthy is not delicious, what a dilemma. But if we pay a little attention to the ingredient list of food, then all this seems to be simpler, parents will no longer worry about their children's unhealthy snacks, and children can happily eat their favorite foods.

The nutrition facts table is a table marked with the name and content of food nutrients, and the nutrients that can be labeled in the table include energy, nutrients, water and dietary fiber. It should be noted that the higher the content, the higher the component, the higher the ranking!!

The energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium are closely related to the main nutrition-related problems and chronic diseases of Chinese residents, so according to the national standard requirements, these 5 items must be labeled in the nutrition content table, which is called the mandatory labeling "1+4". Therefore, parents can pay attention to these 5 directions when they usually go to the supermarket to buy food.

Some parents may be confused about the "kilojoule" of energy and do not understand what it means. In fact, the default calorie unit in China's nutrition content table is kilojoules (kJ), if you want to convert with large calories, it is about this ratio: 1 kcal = 4.2 kilojoules or so. In addition, the fat consumed is also a part that cannot be ignored.

Protein absorption is necessary. Protein has the effects and functions of regulating endocrine, supplementing nutrition, improving human immunity, maintaining metabolism, maintaining muscle movement, and maintaining physical health. Protein is one of the three essential nutrients of the human body, an important part of human tissue cells, and the basis of life materials. The protein requirement is about **** (kg.d), if the standard weight of adults is 70kg, the daily protein intake is about 70-84g; Excessive protein intake may affect nutritional balance on the one hand, and may increase the burden on the kidneys on the other hand.

The essential fatty acids are essential nutrients for the human body, and the key is to grasp the amount well. According to the Nutrient Reference Values (NRV), it is recommended that your child's daily fat intake be less than 60 grams. For example, common salad dressings and mayonnaise have a fat of up to 128% per 100 grams, so it is not recommended for children to eat more.

As can be seen from the carbohydrate content, it is high in sugar. Pay special attention to added sugars such as white sugar and fructose syrup, if they appear in the top 3 of the ingredient list, it means that the total carbohydrate is high.

The safe daily intake of sodium is 1000-2500 mg, if the concentration of sodium in the body is too high, it will cause damage to the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys.

Therefore, many parents will do everything in their power to prohibit and restrict snacks on the issue of snacks. But to be honest, children do not live in a vacuum, we can't circle children every day, TV, elevator, subway, books, classmates and friends, everywhere you can see snacks, can not avoid at all, it can be said that in today's living environment, it is difficult to let children eat snacks!

Therefore, it is better to block than to loosen, we let children eat healthy & scientific snacks, after all, not every snack is unhealthy.

In addition, the snack time should be appropriate, it is best to arrange between meals, do not eat half an hour to 1 hour before the meal. Before going to bed, do not give children snacks, which can easily affect the quality of sleep, as well as gastrointestinal health. Secondly, the amount of snacks should be moderate, not affecting the main meal, you can choose light, easily digestible food, such as fresh fruits, juices, cheese sticks, nuts, chicken cake, etc.
