Should not feel free to add some nutrition

Nutrition to have a correct understanding of treatment, any nutrition has its own bias, that is only applicable to certain physical conditions, is not as comprehensive as advertising. The human body is a very precise balance of body, is detrimental to human health than a little less, eat nutrition may artificially to break the balance of the body, produces a number of uncomfortable symptoms, the body will have to spend a certain amount of strength to form a balance again, this call for candle. Particularly the child care system function is not yet mature, regulating function of relative difference, inappropriate nutrition will cause various diseases.

Now, the market for children\'s nutrition on many, include zinc, calcium supplementation, a supplement of lysine, an appetizer of invigorating the spleen, the blood nourish and so on. We are not saying that these nutrition has no effect, except that it is not appropriate for every child, not on all aspects of the human body are also effective. The past, everyone is keen to supplement lysine, later know lysine deficiency occurs mainly in those long-term eating rice, flour, lack of meat, eggs, milk, fish, animal food in children, there is no need to add some nutrient-rich children, gradually not to mention a supplement of lysine. Now, add trace elements is a very smart thing, but human and impossible each trace element is lacking, even in the absence, and quantity are not the same, blindly add trace elements in children with body is useless. Early examples proved that children had a precocious Royal Jelly tonic of a class.

Normal children exposure to rich full of nutrients from food, as long as the partial eclipse, and have no special needs there is no need to add an additional level of nutrition, pull up seedlings to help them grow in truth is well known. More not to follow advertisements go to fashion, where rivalries to Macau, this is a blind, ignorance of performance. If your child does indeed exist some problems need to be added to nutrition, the best proposal by doctors, select an appropriate supplements, with purpose to add targeted, parents need to know, nutrition in children is not the more the better.

Of child-bearing age women\'s 8 essential nutrition

*VD and calcium

\"Intimacy\" reasons:

Is the fastest growth period in infants, skeletal muscle development require large amounts of calcium, calcium deficiency caused by inadequate uptake or add easy. VD is the main cause of inadequate intake of calcium deficiency, VD can stimulate intestinal absorption of calcium, reducing calcium lost in urine, thus enhancing blood calcium. Rarely in its food content, rely mainly on the Sun and supplementary VD preparations. In addition, the infant immune function is not yet mature, low resistance, diarrhea or respiratory tract infection-prone, making the body more calcium deficiency.

Calcium deficiency does not directly endanger the baby\'s life, but will lead to resistance to degradation, such as susceptibility to anaemia, pneumonia and diarrhoea diseases, seriously impeded growth speed, serious bone deformation occurs.

Reasonable supplementary programmes:

1. Stick to breastfeeding for more than 6 months. According to the formula if eating the formula indicates that the calculation of the amount, in insufficient calcium from calcium supplement. At the same time, often took the baby to the Sun, not less than 2 hours a day, one in the morning and afternoon.

2. By age added weaning foods in a timely manner. VD in egg yolks and liver more, baby 4-5 months to eat when cooked egg yolks, 10 months adding a pig or sheep liver porridge, milk, dairy products. Baby gastrointestinal digestion and absorption of calcium and easy seafood-rich food, note in the catering arrangements.

3. For the baby to add VD in a timely manner, such as preterm infants, twins after birth 1-2 week supplement, term infants 2-4 weeks after birth started to add. Under 6 months additional 400 international units a day, more than 6 months supplementary 400-600 international units a day.

4. Nursing mum, note the uptake of calcium-rich diet, while supplementary calcium containing VD, such as calcium, singular-D or-D then you deserve force against insufficient calcium in the breast milk.

Special reminder:

After the baby is 1 year old should also complement the 400 international units of vitamin d every day, taking 150-300 mg calcium until 2 and a half. However, summer outdoor activities are available for more pause, winter sun there and then add.

Vitamin supplementation during pregnancy not excessive

Vitamins and other nutrients, like excessive will also be harmful, even poisoning. Especially when many women during pregnancy, always think vitamin requirement of a certain number of times the usual, so blindly substantial. Everyone knows, this is not only useless to own or harm the baby in the belly.

Vitamin B6 for enzyme cofactor, participating in many metabolic reactions in the body.
On the clinical, obstetrics and Gynecology doctors commonly used high-dose vitamin B6 treatment of vomiting of pregnancy. Antiemetic effect of vitamin B6, however has not yet been confirmed. Pregnant women taking doses of vitamin B6 100 times higher than normal requirements, there is a feeling of central neuropathic pain may occur, can also make of fetal limb shortening deformity. The doctor needs to know not only the consequences, every pregnant woman needs to know. In fact, women during pregnancy, daily requirements of vitamin B6 increases only than non-pregnant 0.6 mg (normal daily requirements of vitamin B6 2 mg), and the diet, such as meat, fish, egg yolks, legumes, cabbage, corn seed peeling can fully meet the needs of pregnant women vitamin B6. Is early in the pregnancy, that is 1-3 months of gestation, pregnant women also do not need to take vitamin B6.

Pregnant women, the greater the risk of excessive vitamin a, not only can cause miscarriage and fetal nerve may occur, and cardiovascular defects and facial deformity. Daily vitamin a requirement of 4200~5600 international in healthy subjects. For security reasons, we will be pregnant women had the highest daily vitamin a requirement of international units set at 7,500. Unless confirmed pregnant women do suffer from vitamin a deficiency, vitamin a supplementation is given. In General, reasonable mixing of daily food offers 5000~8000 international units of vitamin a, not only can fully meet the needs of daily vitamin a in pregnant women and lactating women have been reached 8,000 international units of vitamin a daily requirement of. Animal foods rich in vitamin a are: liver, kidney, fish, milk, butter, cheese, eggs, and sometimes can take vitamin a the original (that is, beta carotene), or the ingestion of food containing vitamin a to the original. Vitamin a precursor of vitamin a was, through role of enzymes in the body can be converted into vitamin a, it does not produce excess vitamin a, can avoid the resulting dangers. Vitamin that exists a raw spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, mango, lemon, Apricot and other food. We also advise pregnant women attention, do not take vitamin a treatment of acne and psoriasis drugs, teratogenic drugs because these drugs are the most violent.

5 children\'s need for nutrients

5 diet in children and adults are basically the same, but the nutrient supply is still relatively high. Calories per day per kg of body weight required 376. 56,000 kJ (90,000), daily needs to 5,857. 6-7112. 8,000 kJ (1400-1700 kcal). Children of all ages need larger differences therefore thermal energy supply to the amount, at the same time nutrients also must balance. Slightly low compared in infant protein supply, supply 2 per kg of body weight per day. 5-3 g, General daily supply of 50-55 g, 10% per cent of the total heat energy, contained and should pay attention to the quality of protein and amino acid composition. Fats mainly supply of thermal energy and fat soluble vitamins, the heat should be 25% per cent of the total heat energy. -60% of carbohydrates per cent of the total heat energy, be aware of varieties. This calorie intake higher than in the infantile period, amount of food taken people gradually increased, as the main source of energy.
Children over 4 years supply of protein, fat and carbohydrate ratio of l:1. 1:6. At this point to ample supplies of vitamins to ensure growth and mental and physical development of children. 500-700 micrograms of vitamin a daily need, should eat liver, kidney, cod-liver oil food, milk and egg yolk. Vitamin B1 need O daily. 8-1. 0 mg, stored in liver, meat, rice bran, beans, and nuts. Daily vitamin b needs to 0. 8-1. 0 mg, stored in organ meats, dairy, eggs and vegetables. 40-45 mg of vitamin c daily needs, in Hawthorn, oranges, and other content rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, daily vitamin d needs 10 micrograms in cod liver oil, egg yolk, liver content high. Calcium, phosphorus, iron and iodine, zinc, copper and other trace elements should be taken of people enough to ensure development of bones and muscles.
In short, parents should be based on this period features of physical and mental development of children and the required amount of nutrients, arrangement balance of diet, in order to ensure a comprehensive supply of nutrients, promoting the healthy growth of children.

Do young children to eat whole grains

Children from the 4-6 months after adding complementary foods, you can consider eating whole grains. So-called whole grains other than white rice and stronger powder or standard powder grains, such as millet, corn and sorgo. Benefits of eating more whole grains have the following two aspects:

(1) white rice and fine flour in food processing, a significant portion of the nutrients lost, most serious was Bl vitamins and inorganic salt loss. Because Bl mainly exist in the outer layer of cereal grains, when you remove the bran and bran, Bl will be subsequently removed, so long-term people who eat white rice, wheat flour, easily lead to vitamin Bl deficiency beriberi (a peripheral neuritis, special symptoms of nutrient deficiency disorders of the cardiovascular system).

(2) all whole grains contain nutrients their own strength, such as millet with iron and vitamins B2, whole wheat powder containing high calcium, which can make the child access to a wide range of nutrients. In addition, whole grains contain more fiber than flour and rice, have a good effect on prevention from constipation in children. Therefore, nutritionists slogan is: not to withdraw our whole grains from the dinner.

But when children eat whole grains, to make easy digestion of food, such as millet flour and egg biscuit available, done with corn porridge.

Eight healthy babies

First trick: breast milk and baby food complement each other

Now promote breastfeeding, breastfeeding advantages beyond doubt, 4-6 months baby Breast meets all required nutrients, 4-6 months later, however, it contains iron, folic acid, vitamin, calcium and other nutrients is relative shortage of, if not timely added other food, poor children not only long, and is at risk of diseases such as anemia, rickets may. Experts suggest that when children grow up to 4-6 months (about 7 kg weight), should be reasonable to add supplementary food, follow from less to more, from thin to thick, from thin to thick, from one to many kinds of principles, such as egg yolk, rice porridge, noodles, minced meat, Liver paste, etc. According to your baby\'s digestive ability gradually arrangement and avoid tanduo.

Second trick: staple foods and snacks not biased

Baby is generally around the age of weaning, staple food is very important at this time, but snacks or neglect, blindly give or not give is not a wise move. United States survey data show that children get the heat reached total calories from snacks 20%, get 15% per cent of the total intake of vitamins and minerals, snacks are important supplement to the children the calories and nutrients you want. However, to note varieties selection of snacks and mastering and arrangement. For example: give a small amount of high-calorie foods such as small cakes in the morning or 2~3 biscuits, eat a small amount of fruit in the afternoon, not to snack after dinner, but you can drink a glass of milk before going to bed.

Third: expensive food and cheap food all is common

Many parents are accustomed to using the price level to measure food are equal, thinking that the food is good for more baby more expensive, in fact, the price of ordinary milk, eggs, meat, beans, fruits and vegetables and foods are necessary for growth and development of children. Studies have shown that milk, eggs containing amino acids of the protein and amino acid composition of human tissue is very close, digestion and absorption of high utilization rate. Meat is rich in trace elements such as iron, zinc, its nutritional value is much more than the expensive cream cake. In short, the main is required to follow is a children\'s food choices and can be fully absorbed in principle, not direct contact with a price.

IV: fruits and vegetables combined with perfect

Some parents believe that fruit nutrition than vegetables, combined with fruit taste good, children tested, and light vegetable and fruit, even using fruit instead of vegetables. In fact, fruit and vegetables in their own strength, nutrition varies widely. In General, vegetables than fruit to baby\'s development is more important. Comparison with apples and vegetables, the former one-eighth of the calcium content of only the latter, iron one-tenth, carotene is only one-twenty fifth, and these nutrients are the growth and development of children (including intelligence development) indispensable \"gold substance\". Of course, not found in fruit vegetables health advantages, therefore, they should both complement each other, non-biased, not to replace each other.

V: PAP and hard drinking carrot

Young parents often worry about the capacity of baby teeth, always limit or avoid eating hard, but medical experts told us: birth month, its development of jaw and gum has to a certain extent, semi-solid even enough to chew solid foods. After the eruption of deciduous teeth, they should eat foods rich in fiber, a certain hardness of food such as fruit, biscuits, in order to increase the frequency of baby chew through chewing action triggers and eye muscle movement of facial muscles, accelerate blood circulation, promote the development of dental arch and jaw and facial bones, both brain and beauty.

VI: vegetarian and meat-eating two-pronged approach

Often called a meat-eating animal food, meat-eating nutrient-rich taste, but the high fat content, it should be limited, not to eat. When parents in baby food, meat, vegetables, and meat pigment mix. Made minced meat such as spinach, white gourd and meatballs.

Seventh move: eating and drinking water which

Attention to eating, ignoring another feeding mistakes in the drinking water is that many parents. Water is to form an important component of human tissues and cells and body fluids, all physiological and metabolic activity, including transport, absorption of nutrients in food digestion, excretion of waste, no one can leave the water. Younger, relatively more demand for water. So in between meals, should give their children a certain quantity of water to drink. Water supply and do not give children when such as tea, coffee, Cola, and boiled water, mineral water.

Eighth move: mood food and adjusting

Child psychologist stated that food affects children\'s mental development, unhealthy emotions and irrational behavior and diet of has a very close relationship. As eat dessert too much who easy dynamic, and love cry, and good temper; drinking juice too much who easy anger even good fights; eat salt too much who reaction slow, and corruption sleep; lack a species vitamin who easy solitary, and depression, and expression indifference; deficiency calcium who hands easy TIC, and night molar; deficiency zinc who easy spirit lax, and attention does not concentrated; deficiency iron who memory difference, and thinking slow; and so on.

Parents observe, adjusted according to the mood of the baby food structure in a timely manner, can make such bad emotions reduce or recover for illness without medical help.

Nutrition for light, water and food

Gastrointestinal delicate baby makes the summers day \"loss of appetite and weight in summer\", nothing like it. Mummy really worried, what food could lift baby little appetite?

* Every day will give baby to drink soup, porridge for

Strong heat the body metabolism, makes baby a lot of sweat, so the baby\'s body than adults and need some more water.

Mum should arrange some soup or gruel class for baby food, preventing baby small body of dehydration.

* Appropriate salt in food

Baby sweat loses minerals such as potassium, sodium, soup, porridge is not only to add the body temperature of evaporated water, lost when sweating can also complement of potassium, sodium and other minerals, prevent anorexia, fatigue, discomfort, with resulting even heat stroke or heat.

* Every day to ensure that intake of protein foods

Strong baby coincided with the construction of body tissues and organs, requires a lot of high quality protein per day, to meet the demands of growth and development. But when the temperature is above 35 ° c, a lot of sweat makes the body more increase catabolism of proteins, prone to insufficient protein intake. Therefore, the Mummy in the daily diet should be to ensure baby adequate protein intake of food, such as milk, eggs, meat, fish and soy milk or soy products.

* Yogurt is daylight saving time section to add protein to share

Fresh milk yogurt that retain all nutritional and taste sweet and delicious, very conducive to baby\'s gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. In addition, there are many benefits of yogurt, containing lactic acid bacteria to synthetic vitamins and can suppress the growth of intestinal bacteria of corruption, at the same time can also increase calcium absorption, prevention of gastro-intestinal inflammation and rickets. Especially lack of intestinal lactase and eat fresh milk baby, eat more yogurt is not prone to abdominal distention and diarrhea.

* Every day, eat fresh vegetables

Hot babe from lost in sweat every day more vitamin c and vitamins B1, B2. When the body when the lack of these vitamins, baby will feel the body be tired and unwilling to play, resistance will decline. Therefore, under the high temperature requirements of vitamins c, B1, B2, 1 time times greater than usual, so as to ensure the body\'s intake of these vitamins. Should baby eat more green vegetables every day, bitter gourd and melon, this is the best way of vitamin c can also cool and dispel heat.

* Every day, eat fresh fruit

Variety of fruits in the summer, many of which fruits are food, also has medicinal value. Such as watermelon, with both clearing away heat and relieves summer heat, the role of shengjinzhike and vitamin c, carotene, fructose, glucose, amino acids and a wealth of nutrition.

* Eat food vitamin B1

Beans and whole grains are the best foods vitamin B1; most vitamin B1 in the gourd bitter gourd; milk and green leafy vegetables are the best source of vitamin B2.

* Daily diet to light

Under the high temperature, secretion of digestive enzymes in the human digestive tract will be reduced. Baby original of gastrointestinal food

Some foods of low nutritional value, impede digestion, such as cream cold drinks, Cola and containing pigments with high drink, bubble gum, chocolate and fried foods, should eat or not eat less.

To create a good dining environment

Creating a pleasant dining environment for baby, encouraged him eating baby baby, a meal, to baby prepare fixed seats, preventing the baby eating, to play, these measures can promote baby\'s appetite.

Do not give baby medicine

Some antipyretic, cold medicine for gastrointestinal stimulation resistance is large, medicine shortly after baby\'s appetite decreased significantly; long-term use of certain antibiotics, inhibits growth of intestinal normal bacterial flora, destruction of intestinal mucosa absorption, causing anorexia.

Let the baby becomes \"bone\" full of gas

Designed specifically help baby food on the market numerous, are full of nutrients above, what are the importance and function of these nutrients to the baby? Mother of the how to help your baby choice for food? Of course, if you can understand how the various nutrients, is very easy for the baby picked!

Understanding nutrients-calcium

\"Calcium\" is most commonly addressed in medical nutrients, it is so important to child development, why? Mainly because of \"calcium\" is the content of the body most minerals, bone calcium is needed for development and enhance the human body.

Children should get more calcium

Because of the presence of calcium in human body 99% is among the bones and teeth, once the lack of calcium, bones become fragile and strong enough, very easy to produce fracture phenomena. Although osteoporosis is a disease in adults, but causes much Shuo inadequate calcium intake to childhood and adolescence. Therefore, children should be multiple intake of calcium, bone this can save for future use.

Tooth development also needs calcium

In fact, baby tooth development also needs calcium, adequate calcium to keep teeth and gums healthy and reduce the chance of tooth decay in the future. In addition to bones and teeth, there are residual 1% of calcareous scattered in tissue and body fluids of various software, although these calcareous body in adults not exceeding 10 grams, but play a very important role in the human body. It with nerve conduction and excitation and contraction of muscles, blood clotting functions are closely related. Therefore, cannot calcium deficiency in the human life.

Food sources of calcium

Is well known, fresh milk is the best source of calcium, due to suffering from lactose intolerance is very common, there are plenty who don\'t drink milk, other than milk, there are a lot of food can provide rich calcium, for example: tofu is an excellent source of calcium, calcium from it in the production process by adding coagulant. Therefore, to calcium sulfate coagulant of tofu, than with magnesium chloride when the coagulant of tofu, contains more calcium rich; different brands and different production, low calcium level also vary. Of course, some manufacturers will design calcium-containing beverages for baby, baby excellent sources of calcium intake,
The following table, the common calcium-rich foods, parents may wish to purchase edible for the baby.

Smart tips

Increase of calcium absorption

Parents of calcium content in addition to understanding food outside, should also be concerned about the factors influencing the human calcium absorption rate generally increases calcium absorption for three main reasons:

1, when the demand for calcium or calcium in the diet the body when a lack of, absorbed it will get better, such as growth and development of infants, children, adolescence in objects such as adolescents, pregnant and nursing women, but will enhance calcium absorption.

Vitamin d is 2, because active ingredients stimulate intestinal, will make better calcium absorption.

3, the acidic environment of the gastric acid, increases calcium absorption, lactic acid also help calcium absorption.

Reduced calcium absorption

After you understand the reasons for the increase of calcium absorption, parents also need to know to lower calcium absorption due to a what?

1, when the activity of vitamin d is low, will inhibit calcium absorption.

2, and food in the if has oxalic acid, is will and calcium in digestive road in the, formation does not dissolved sexual of oxalic acid calcium, thus reduce absorption, for example: spinach in the of calcium, only 5% will was absorption; manufacturing chocolate of components-the-the cocoa, although contains high volume oxalic acid, but dad mother do not have to worry drink chocolate milk Shi, will led calcium of uptake volume insufficient, because milk in the of oxalic acid content, does not enough to large attended effect calcium of absorption.

3, phytic acid reduces absorption of calcium in food, mainly because of phytic acid present in whole grains, it can and the formation of insoluble calcium and calcium phytate that cannot be absorbed by the intestinal.

4, the tannic acid in tea and coffee, reduced calcium absorption. So, tea and coffee time, preferably selected meals.

Let the baby be \"bone\" handsome beauty

When you fully understand the impact of important and food sources of calcium absorption factors, parents may be in the diet, helps babies get high calcium food each day, was saved by baby from small bone of this action, grew up to become a \"bone\" handsome high beauty of Oh!

Calcium drinking tips

1, encourage children to drink beverages containing calcium (such as fresh milk, yoghurt drinks, added calcium). Because beverages are the baby high calcium foods with the highest degree of acceptance.

2, when ordinary soup, mothers can choose some more big bone to stew, add a few drops of vinegar, but also enhance calcium absorption.

3, black sesame seeds are cheap and tasty vegetable source of calcium, parents should let your child eat black sesame products, such as: black sesame paste, sugar, Sesame dumplings with sesame seeds and other food.

4, due to the dried product is added to the process of producing gypsum, which is the best source of calcium, parents can select the small kinds of beans dry to children, in addition to calcium supplement or complement proteins.

5, when you select the vegetables every day should be at least high calcium content of selected 1-2 of vegetable and boiled vegetable soup is also very important, do not pour away, you\'d better let the children together even the soup juice drink.

6, if a child is like eating meat FLOSS class food, can choose calcium-containing dried fish FLOSS instead of more meat floss.

Mistaken ideas of calcium

Error: one of the advertising hype and publicity nationwide calcium deficiency, calcium supplementation with advertising. In fact, at present China\'s daily calcium intake of 400 mg, published by the Institute of nutrition recommended daily calcium intake of 800 mg, calcium intake levels are relatively low. But on the other hand, varies greatly in amount of calcium intake of residents of China, not everyone is calcium deficiency.

Misconceptions II: shopping malls, pharmacies through a simple instrument tests can determine whether calcium deficiency. In fact, these places place \"single photon bone density tester\" can only be measuring human arm of ulna and RADIUS, and mainly affect calcium loss of human body was the cause of lumbar and hip-bone calcium deficiency, so this test is not accurate.

Misunderstanding of three: must be rapid calcium by eating calcium health products. In fact, by eating calcium supplements are the best safest way.

Misunderstanding of the four: calcium supplement product you sell, the better, with higher calcium content, the higher the rate of absorption, the effect is better. Some calcium supplement product that \"deposition of good, fast absorption\", claimed that the \"small\", and even launched a \"calcium atoms\", \"nano-calcium\", made people feel as small as possible and easy absorption of calcium. Indeed human on calcium absorption and utilization of calcium product is independent of the particle size. To see if they have biological activity.

Misunderstanding of five: simple calcium supplementation on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly. For older, calcium deficiency is an important reason to cause osteoporosis, calcium supplementation simple and not comprehensive prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, need to improve both diet and taking calcium tonics strengthening calcium intake.

Myth of the six: emphasis on children must also take calcium health products by calcium. In fact, calcium supplementation in children should also be dominated by tonic foods.

Misunderstanding of seven: calcium supplement vitamin d products of choice. Zhongxiaoxie reminds consumers, and take plenty of adding vitamin d calcium tonics, an overdose can be latent poisoning phenomenon.
