Dove after a walk - one pleasure! True instead of apples and blueberries, children will prefer to eat chocolate tiles or half of the cookie packaging. Many parents believe that this is an equivalent replacement - even sweets do not put down in fat if they are balanced by physical exertion. However, this is not true - foreign specialists have proven that the calorie content of most snacks exceeds energy spent on a walk.
Scientists beat alarm
A recent study conducted at the University of Brigham Yang showed that today's snacks after moving games contain more calories than the amount of energy that children usually spend during the game. Researchers were observed for pupils of 3 and 4 classes engaged in football, baseball and softball for 189 games. They tracked the physical activity of players, as well as calorie snacks after the game. The researchers found that the children burned 170 calories per game, but after a 213 calorie died on average. Almost 90 percent of these products contained added sugar, constituting 26.4 grams of sugar on a portion. It is more than the total recommended daily sugar consumption for children - 25 grams. "According to this study, the children on average spent only 27 minutes per game, and in some sports such as softball, even less," says Pediatrician Jay Lovhenheim in an interview with Healthline. "Currently, children are 5 years old and older to engage in physical exercises at least 60 minutes a day," said Lovenheim. Scientists summed up that the modern child is not needed after the game.

Womanhit.ru decided to highlight five snacks that are harmful to children:
Flakes. In Europe and the United States, few people eat oatmeal for breakfast, replacing it with sweet flakes. They are made of purified grain, and therefore does not contain the required amount of fiber. Vitamins and minerals added in them are just a spoonful of honey in the targe of the tar.
Packet juices. Although this juices contain vitamin C and A, they still cannot be called the right snack due to the high content of sugar in fruit. If you want to benefit from juice, make it yourself: celery, green apple, orange - excellent option for useful fresh juice. But even it is worth drinking more than once a day, but with a weak digestive system and less often - once a couple of days.
Yogurt. It's one thing if you offer the child to eat a Greek yogurt without filler, and completely different if it is an ordinary yoghurt from the store. Composition with chemical additives, abundance of sugar, low percentage of fruits and a homogeneous structure that does not need to chew - the main cons of this product.
A sandwich. Satwiches with lettuce leaves, sauce, tomato slice and a large cutlet, five minutes ago from the freezer, it is definitely impossible for a healthy snack. If you want to make a useful sandwich, take wholegrain bread, boiled breast or grilled meat, chopped vegetables and a bit of olive oil - from this set of products it turns out great snack.
Chocolate bar. Although the weight of sweet bars seem to be lightweight, believe me, the calories in them are enough to achieve a daily rate for a couple of snacks. At the same time, the benefits of rapid carbohydrates zero - the maximum sharp emission of insulin into the blood, which is not engaged in professional sports for children. Make better bars in oven from oatmeal, honey, dried berries and nuts.
