What foods are not suitable for eating in daily life?

As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth. Because children's physical development is not perfect, the negative reaction caused by diet will be more obvious and stronger than that caused by adults. Therefore, parents need to pay more attention to their children's diet and carefully regulate it. The following are some foods that children should not eat in their daily lives, and parents need to pay special attention.

spinach

Spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, which will combine with calcium in other foods in the body to form calcium oxalate, which can not be absorbed by the small intestine and can only be excreted from the large intestine intact. However, children need a lot of calcium for their growth and development. Eating more spinach will obviously reduce the absorption of calcium, thus affecting tooth eruption and bone development, causing rickets and even hypocalcemia convulsions. Moreover, oxalic acid will combine with iron in food to form insoluble complexes, which will affect the absorption of iron.

carbohydrate

Sugar is the main source of body heat energy, accounting for about 50% of the total daily calories, which is necessary for children's growth and development. But eating too much is harmful because:

Eating too much sugar can easily make the stomach feel saturated, consume a lot of vitamins in the body, reduce the secretion of saliva and digestive juice, increase gastric acid, and ferment in the intestine, thus causing indigestion and loss of appetite;

Eating a lot of sugar will cause inorganic salt metabolism disorder, tooth resistance decline, and it is easy to produce dental caries;

Too much sugar will cause the liver to produce too much neutral fat, which is easy to deposit on the arterial wall with the flow of blood, forming early arteriosclerosis in children.

How much sugar should children eat every day? In general, the quantity should be limited to about 10g, which is equivalent to 3 pieces of candy sold in the market.
