How much do you know about common misunderstandings about children's diet

Nowadays, parents often worry that their children are not getting enough nutrition, so they try to make delicious food for their children, and some parents also buy nutritional products for their children

Misunderstanding 1: Whole grains are healthy, eat more for good health

The truth: Although coarse grains are good, you need to pay attention to the ratio of thickness and thickness, otherwise it will increase the burden of digestion and lead to constipation

Whole grains and less processed grains do retain germ and contain more B vitamins and dietary fiber than finely processed grains, which are good for health

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016)" points out the principle of "food diversity, mainly cereals".

Misunderstanding 2: Drink more fruit and vegetable juice if you don’t like vegetables and fruits

The truth: Vegetables and fruits cannot be replaced by each other.

Many parents report that their children do not like to eat vegetables and fruits, and it is troublesome to make juice at home, so they often buy various fruit and vegetable juice drinks from the supermarket

In fact, vegetables and fruits have different nutritional values ​​and cannot be substituted for each other.

Experts point out that the really healthy way to eat is to eat a combination of different kinds of vegetables and fruits every day, and eat "rainbow on the table"

Myth 3: Drinking milk beverages is equivalent to drinking milk

The truth: the content of milk in milk beverages is mostly only 30%, which is different from the nutrition obtained by drinking flavored milk and pure milk

Some children like milk drinks and flavored milk, but both are different from plain milk

　　If you really don't like the taste of pure milk, you can choose breakfast milk with various flavors of flavored milk
