On a hot day, mothers should know these 8 points of their children's diet.

Summer is a difficult season all year round. The baby is fragile and vulnerable to the weather. The baby's diet in summer should pay more attention than other seasons. The following precautions should be remembered by parents.

1. appropriately increase the amount of food.

The temperature is high in summer, and the baby's digestive enzymes are secreted less, which is easy to cause indigestion or intestinal infectious diseases such as enteritis. It is necessary to appropriately increase the baby's food intake and ensure adequate nutritional intake. It is best to eat some light and digestible foods, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, lentils and other foods rich in vitamin C, carotene and inorganic salts. These vegetables can be used to make some cold dishes. Adding garlic to the dishes is cool and delicious, and it also helps to prevent intestinal infectious diseases.

2. Various types and modes

You should eat more high-quality protein such as milk, eggs, lean meat and fish. Because of its low fat content and light taste, it is very suitable for babies to eat. There are bean products such as soybean milk and tofu, and the plant protein contained in them is most suitable for the baby's nutritional absorption. Variety should be changed to increase children's appetite. When cooking, fish should be stewed, not fried, and hot and sour seasonings can also be used skillfully.

3. Give the baby plenty of boiled water.

Boiled water is the best drink for babies in summer. In summer, the baby sweats more and loses more water in the body. Babies' tolerance to water shortage is worse than that of adults. If you feel thirsty, the cells in your body are actually dehydrated. Severe dehydration can also lead to fever. The baby gets about 800 ml of water from milk and food, but in summer, the baby should consume about 1 100- 1500 ml of water. Therefore, it is very important to give your baby more boiled water, which can play a dual role in relieving summer heat and relaxing bowels.

Edible cooked food

There are many mosquitoes and flies in summer, and bacteria are easy to reproduce. Be careful when eating cooked food and try not to eat cooked food. Give the children cooked food after the high temperature.

5. Don't eat leftovers

Even if you put it in the refrigerator, you should heat it before eating. The refrigerator is not a disinfection box, and the bacteria in the refrigerator can also pollute the food.

Step 6 add salt in time

When sweating, the human body will lose a lot of water and take away salt and some minerals, which will lead to electrolyte imbalance in the body, affect metabolism and make people tired. The simple way is to add a little salt to warm water, or you can give your child some hot soup to supplement salt and increase nutrition.

7. Eat less cold drinks and food.

Many children like to eat cold food, such as ice cream, cold drinks and iced watermelons. In fact, these foods are very unfavorable to children's growth and development, which will cause symptoms such as diarrhea, gastroenteritis, loss of appetite and toothache. Too high sugar content can also cause weight gain. Therefore, parents should control the amount of cold drinks their children eat, especially before meals, and don't gobble them for fear of stimulation.

Pay more attention to "quality" than "quantity"

Children's diet should pay special attention to balanced nutrition, with fresh vegetables and fruits as the mainstay, milk, eggs, lean meat, fish and other high-quality protein supplies sufficient, with soybean milk, tofu and other digestible bean products as the mainstay, with a light diet and less spicy and greasy food. Then prepare some cool food at any time, such as cold dishes, mashed vegetables, fruit juice, mashed fruits and so on.
