Misleading assumptions about food that actually make children overweight
Some parents may feel confused about choosing healthy foods. So many advertised and marketed products label healthy foods in their food products, when in fact if you are careful, these foods cause your child to gain weight. Know the myths of healthy food that actually makes your little one overweight.
Myth 1: 'Food Diet', 'Gluten Free', and 'Organic' must be healthy
The trend of healthy food labeled as mentioned, is indeed becoming a trend. One of these marketing strategies, makes you believe that your little one is eating healthy food. Choosing food for your little one who is in its infancy, it is very important for you to see the overall food content.
You should see the ingredients, sodium, artificial sweeteners, nutritional value, and calories, because this plays a role in determining whether the food is healthy or not. Sodium can cause high blood pressure, even in children. Reducing sodium intake is very important for overweight children to reduce their risk of heart disease in the future.
You should also pay attention to the content of artificial sweeteners in a food. Artificial sweeteners sometimes make your child become addicted to food and make children want to eat more. As a result, your child gets more calorie intake than he should.
In addition, children who are in their infancy need certain nutrients from their food. A slightly higher calorie meal may be a healthier choice if there is a greater amount of vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, or calcium.
Myth 2: Juice is a healthy drink for children
Many parents believe that because fruit is healthy, fruit juice is very good for their children. However, this high-calorie sweet drink can contribute to your baby's weight gain. Some argue that these drinks have great nutritional value because they are rich in vitamins.
It's good, if you want to get the benefits of fruit, you can serve fresh fruit directly to eat. Excess calories from juice comes from added sugar when serving juice so that sometimes makes your child do not want to eat solid foods that have fiber, protein, and healthy fats because they already feel fuller.
Myth 3: Frozen yogurt is a choice dessert healthy
Many parents prefer frozen yogurt to replace ice cream, but that doesn't mean frozen yogurt be the best choice. Although frozen yogurt has the lowest fat content, this yogurt contains very high calories.
A large cup of non-topping yogurt contains 380 calories with 76 grams of sugar. Most children prefer frozen yogurt with sugar topping, this can actually fatten the little one just like ice cream. Adding sprinkles of candy and artificial syrup can also cause a child's sugar levels to rise.
Instead, you can serve plain low-fat yogurt for children with fruit. This fruit will sweeten yogurt without adding unnecessary dangerous sugar. Also, make sure you provide small portions of frozen yogurt to reduce calorie buildup.
