How to eat sugar scientifically? 1. Specify the number of times to eat sugar. It is found that the frequency of eating sugar is very important to the occurrence of dental caries, and the quantity and frequency of free sugar intake should be reduced. Eating snacks more than three times a day is listed as a high risk factor for dental caries in the dental caries risk assessment table developed by the American Children's Dentist Association.
But you can't ignore the amount just because you reduce the number of times, and you can't eat too much sugar at a time.
2. When do you eat sugar? You can eat some sugary foods when eating, because at this time, the amount of saliva secretion is large, which can reduce the harm of sugar. 3. Be alert to the dangers of drinks. Many children like to drink drinks, including juice drinks, carbonated drinks and milk drinks. These drinks have a high sugar content.
4. Bottles only contain formula milk, milk or breast milk. Avoid feeding sugar water or soft drinks with bottles.
5. Avoid letting children sleep with bottles, and encourage children to drink milk in cups after one year old. For breast-fed children, it is necessary to clean the mouth more, otherwise it is easy to have dental caries. Studies have shown that for infants over 1 year old, breast-feeding for more than 7 times a day can easily lead to dental caries.
6. Establish healthy eating habits. It is sometimes difficult to change eating habits. For example, some parents think they are as healthy as when they were young. However, good eating habits have a significant impact on health and will benefit children for life.
