Affects children's height and IQ...Be careful of these "dangerous foods"!

As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth. Once there is a problem with "eating", all kinds of troubles will come. For growing children, diet is the key to their healthy growth! There are many foods that are high in calories and low in nutrition that are always loved by children, but they cannot meet the needs of physical health. However, parents should pay attention to more than these. In fact, there are more "dangerous foods" that have negative effects on children's height and IQ, and even pose safety risks.

These foods affect your height!

1. Carbonated drinks

Research data shows that among children who love to drink carbonated beverages, 60% will have calcium deficiency , which will slow down their height development . This is because carbonated beverages contain a lot of phosphoric acid. Excessive drinking will cause an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio in the human body, affect calcium absorption, lead to bone loss , and hinder children's bone growth.

2. Fried foods

Frying is like a "converter". No matter how healthy a food is, once it is fried, it will become a high-fat, high-calorie food. Children who consume fried foods for a long time will easily gain weight, which will put heavy pressure on their normal growth and development. Moreover, during the high-temperature frying process, the vitamins in the food will be lost quickly , which is not conducive to the nutritional supplementation of children.

3. Various sweets

Although sweets are delicious, they also have many disadvantages. Excessive intake of sweets will lead to the accumulation of sugar in the body, making it difficult to consume fat and affecting the normal metabolism of calcium. Not only will it easily lead to the risk of obesity , it will also inhibit bone calcification and affect children's growth. At the same time, frequent consumption of sweets will also destroy the oral microecology and cause tooth decay .

These foods affect IQ!

1. Foods containing lead

Foods with high lead content mainly include canned food, popcorn, preserved eggs , etc. When lead accumulates too much in the body, it is easy to cause "lead poisoning", which will not only hinder the synthesis of hemoglobin in the human body and cause anemia , but also increase the cardiovascular burden of the human body, causing myocardial damage, hypertension and other diseases. Moreover, excessive intake of lead will also affect the functions of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system, putting memory and intelligence at risk of decline.

2. Foods containing aluminum

Fried dough sticks, vermicelli, cold noodles , etc. containing alum are all foods containing aluminum. When aluminum is ingested in large quantities by the human body, it will be deposited in the brain, causing brain damage, memory loss and other problems. At the same time, it will also cause lesions in the human skeletal system, which is not conducive to the growth of children's height .

These foods are choking!

1. Jelly

Colorful jelly is very popular among children, but if you are not careful when swallowing, it is easy to get stuck in the throat or trachea , bringing the risk of suffocation. Therefore, when children are still young and cannot eat jelly independently, parents need to accompany them or cut the jelly into small pieces and let the children eat slowly.

2. Egg yolk

Egg yolks are rich in lecithin, vitamins, and minerals, and are a good choice for children to supplement their nutrition. However, egg yolks are dry in texture and have strong water absorption. When they come into contact with saliva, they will swell up and easily get stuck in the esophagus. Therefore, when feeding egg yolks to children, you can add warm water to the egg yolks to make them into a paste to facilitate swallowing.

3. Rice Balls

Tangyuan contains a lot of starch and is very sticky after being cooked. It is not recommended for babies under 3 years old to eat it, and children over 3 years old should eat less. On the one hand, children's digestive ability is weak, and the large amount of starch in tangyuan will increase the digestive burden, leading to indigestion, diarrhea , etc. On the other hand, children's chewing and swallowing functions are not yet mature, and eating large tangyuan can easily cause choking .

These foods are also affecting children's health!

1. Processed meat

Although processed meat products such as dried meat, meat floss, and sausages taste delicious, the large amount of seasonings and preservatives they contain cannot be ignored. Once children consume excessive amounts, it will increase the metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys , which is not good for their health. Moreover, during the process of pickling, smoking, roasting, and fermentation, these meats will also produce nitrites , which may cause cancer risks .

2. Barbecue

Barbecue is a "delicious" food in the minds of many children, but this "delicious" food hides many safety hazards. For example, most barbecue stalls are set up on the roadside, which causes serious dust pollution . In addition, the food may not be fully cooked due to the fast baking speed, and harmful microorganisms are difficult to completely eliminate. Moreover, meat is easily carcinogenic after being baked at high temperatures, which can cause damage to human health over time.

3. Preserved fruits

Sweet preserved fruits always make people salivate, but in fact they contain a lot of nitrites, which easily form carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds after entering the human body. Nitrite is a kind of industrial salt that is harmful to the human body and is used for coloring and preservation. Excessive intake can cause poisoning , hinder the oxygen-carrying function of hemoglobin, and cause symptoms such as dizziness, cyanosis of lips, and difficulty breathing .
