The habit of proper nutrition is born in childhood, however, not all useful for adult products are equally useful for children. We tell, the consumption of which products it is worth limiting - some of them will surprise you. In the list, both familiar products provoking obesity and those that are useful, but are complex for digestion by children's body.
Candy
It is surprising that so far many believe that sweets accelerate the work of the brain - this statement has long been refuted by American scientists who have proven that simple carbohydrates, on the contrary, slow down the thought process. Moreover, they are one of the causes of excess weight - the energy obtained from these products does not have time to spend at low activity. Pay attention to the composition - often there are more preservatives in it than natural ingredients. Instead of chocolate bars, the composition of which is not pure chocolate, and cocoa powder and palm oil, make candy themselves: crush dried fruits in a blender - dike, dried, prunes - and nuts. Rock the mixture in small balls and cut in sesame or cocoa.

Crisps
Potatoes in itself - a source of simple carbohydrates and starch, and in combination with oil turns into a cluster of unsaturated fats, which, instead of use of hair and skin health, brings only fatty sediments in the sides. In addition, chips are small, and therefore eat, like any snacks, very quickly. As a result, instead of a standard portion of 30-40 grams, you can eat a whole packaging equal to half the daily calorie norm. If the children love to hurt, offer them useful snacks from fruits - dried purified apples, bananas, mango and other fruits cut into slices and dried in a dehydrator - a device for "pulling" fluid from the product structure are sold at grocery stores. Also more useful will be chips from the batate, beets, pumpkins. Buy more expensive goods - in their composition there is nothing superfluous, except vegetable, oil and salt.
Chewing gum
There are many types of "chewing" in the market, including children's, allegedly approved by dentists. In fact, no qualified specialist will allow the child to chewing either before nor after eating. Firstly, there are a lot of sugar in chewing gum - instead of conventional white sugar, it isomal, fructose and other types of sugar substitutes, which are just as harmful. Secondly, a sweet taste provokes the selection of gastric juice - the body thinks that the next portion of food will come into it now, but is deceived by us. As a result, the developed juice increases the acidity of the medium and over time causes the stomach disease, including chronic heightened acidity.

Seafood
It is believed that sea gadys are a source of pure protein and important trace elements, such as iodine, calcium, magnesium and others. And there is. However, the protein in seafood is about 15-30 grams per 100 grams of the product, depending on the view, which is too much for the child. The digestive system of the child is weaker than in an adult, so any "heavy" food has a greater burden on the body. If fats and carbohydrates are simply processed, the protein is processed up to 6-8 hours. Imagine what will happen if the child will eat a portion of mussels or shrimp on dinner. In addition, in seafood contains cholesterol is a fat-forming component, which further enhances the load on the organs. The child is better to get protein with low-fat meat and river fish. Several times a week you can give sea fish, and let the seafood be an exception to the rules - during a trip to the sea or a hike for dinner to the restaurant.
Greens
In a small volume, foods such as celery, lettuce leaves, parsley and others are really helpful. True, the key here is "in a small amount". Greens can provoke the accumulation of salts in the body that will affect the child's analyzes - the doctor may suspect a violation and send it to an additional examination. Also, the greens are quite difficult recycled by a children's organism, having a load on the intestines and the liver - the structure of green stems is rigid, poorly destroyed by gastric juice, so digested in an almost unchanged form. It is better to make a child a salad of cucumbers and tomatoes - will be more useful.
