I picked out a box of vanilla ice cream for adzuki bean when I took him to the supermarket at the weekend. However, just as I was taking things out of the freezer, Adzuki's grandmother advised me: Adzuki is so small, ice cream is cold, eating it in the stomach will damage the spleen and stomach, and there are many additives, so it is better to give it to children less.
Seeing that I was puzzled, grandma quickly sent me a screenshot from her mobile phone, and I took it: Wow, what a high click volume and forwarding rate. It seems that grandma is still working hard to take care of the baby.
Moved, I can't help wondering: is ice cream really as terrible as those people say, and children can't touch it at all?
After verification, I found that this is not the case. The net posts that my grandmother showed me earlier were all pseudoscientific rumors.
As a "cold food" for the old population, ice cream was secretly labeled as "baby fasting" by many people, so grandma refused to eat it, and parents were afraid to buy it for fear that a careless child might have problems. The reason for doing this is also very good: 0 ice cream enters the human body at the age of 37, which will greatly stimulate the fragile stomach of children.
Is that really the case?
Don't! ? Man is a warm-blooded animal. Although the temperature of ice cream is low, it will be heated by our mouth and esophagus before entering the stomach. The ice cream that enters the stomach has already melted, not the rumored 0℃.
Jiang Zeng, a national second-class public nutritionist and attending physician of rehabilitation medicine department, said: It is very beneficial to give children some ice cream in moderation.
The benefits of eating ice cream in summer
1.？ It is nutritious and highly digestible.
The ingredients of ice cream are mainly sugar, fat and protein. For ordinary milk ice cream, the content of protein is three times that of ordinary milk, that is to say, if you choose the right ice cream, it may be more nutritious than milk! In addition, the digestibility of these ingredients in the human body can reach more than 95%.
However, the premise is to choose the right ice cream!
2.？ Reduce appetite
Because ice cream contains a lot of lactose, it can quickly improve the satisfaction of the stomach, so eating ice cream properly before meals helps to control appetite. Of course, if you are giving ice cream to children, you must not choose it before meals, because it will affect children's appetite and nutrient intake.
3.？ Focus on
Low-temperature food can quickly make neurons in the cerebral cortex in a relatively excited state. If you feel sleepy and tired in the afternoon, you can eat a small glass of ice cream, which will help your brain to concentrate.
4.？ Decompression effect
Many people know that sweets can relieve stress. Many women choose to drink a cup of milk tea or eat a bowl of ice cream when they are upset. When their stomachs are satisfied, their mood will be better. If you are stressed or upset at work recently, you can try the effect of ice cream.
As a very common food, ice cream can be given to the baby as appropriate. But it should be noted that what is said here is to be "moderate", not to give ice to children without restraint.
So what factors need to be considered before choosing ice cream for children?
1.？ age
Ice cream is a kind of dairy product rich in protein and fat, which can provide enough energy for the body, but for Xiaobaobao below 1, eating ice cream is a very risky behavior.
Because the baby's gastrointestinal function has not developed well, it is not easy to absorb the high protein in ice cream, which may cause the baby's gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, even high-end healthy ice cream is not recommended for babies under the age of/kloc-0.
2. heat
When buying ice cream for children, be sure to look at the ingredient list on the back to see how many calories it is. Take a common ice cream on the market as an example. An ice cream has almost the heat of a bowl of rice.
And high in sugar and fat. If children eat too much of this ice cream, it will lead to satiety in the central nervous system of the brain, which will affect the intake of dinner. In addition, it may also cause dental caries.
3. Bacterial infection
Earlier, news exposed an online celebrity cake, pointing out that the coliform group of the online celebrity cake exceeded the standard.
In daily life, we often find that some children will have vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms after eating ice cream. Excluding their own reasons such as digestive tract discomfort and allergies, the quality of ice cream may be problematic.
In order to make a profit, some merchants did not strictly control production and did not completely sterilize, which made ice cream a hotbed of bacterial reproduction and led to bacterial infection after eating.
Therefore, when choosing ice cream, you must choose the products produced by big manufacturers within the shelf life, don't covet "network celebrities" and don't buy three no products. If it is an ice cream for children, you should choose it strictly, or make your own ice cream with healthy ingredients at home.
When summer comes, will you stop children from eating ice cream? Have you ever made ice cream for your children at home?
