School does not teach first-graders how to eat properly while studying. And parents probably have questions related to the diet of a small schoolboy .
Nutrition should be complete. This is the first rule to follow when preparing a diet for your child . The second rule is as many natural products as possible. It is not necessary to accustom children to sausages, sausages and other processed meat from childhood. There is no need for this. Moreover, for example, a kilogram of chicken breasts is cheaper than sausage. Meat can be stewed, baked, boiled. It is better not to get carried away with fried ones. This is what the pediatrician says.
Do not forget about cereals, which are useful carbohydrates that are digested for a long time.
Breakfast should consist of dairy and non-dairy porridge. Each cereal has its own "Mendeleev table", which is necessary for the proper mental development of a child . Don't limit yourself to rice and buckwheat. Oatmeal, barley, corn, wheat, bulgur, artek, sichka — all these cereals are perfect as a schoolboy 's breakfast .
At the same time, the doctor advises not to indulge in semolina, the benefits of which are minimal. Besides, not all children love her.
Also, for breakfast, offer the child tea, cocoa and a rye bread sandwich with butter and cheese. Hard cheese, cottage cheese are mandatory components of the diet, as they contain calcium.
For lunch, you should not overload the child's body with dumplings or dumplings. It is better to feed the schoolboy with salad, soup and meat.
In the last few years, there has been a trend towards childhood obesity in our country. The child goes to school, his lifestyle becomes less mobile. In this regard, you should not overload the schoolboy 's body with fast carbohydrates. These include: dumplings, dumplings, pasta (not coarsely ground) and other cooked dough. Fresh vegetable salad with greens and soup are great ingredients for a healthy lunch. As a salad dressing, choose vegetable oil that you usually eat. Also offer the schoolboy a meat or fish cutlet for lunch. The fish can be any - white, red. If it's red, it's better to be red. It is a champion among red fish in terms of its composition and benefits for the body.
Children love sweets. Nevertheless, experts advise to limit the consumption of sweets to 2 times a week. An alternative can be fruits, berries, compotes, juices. But it is better not to give juices, they have a lot of sugar. So that the child does not chew rolls and candies during breaks, put walnuts and fruits in the student 's backpack. Having a snack with these products, the child will increase his working capacity and brain activity.
Sour milk products also occupy an important place in the diet of schoolchildren . These are kefir, ryazhanka, yogurts. But you should be careful with milk, it causes fermentation processes in the stomach. It is better to just cook porridge on it.
