​What is the most nutritious breakfast for young children

Breakfast is the most important thing in our lives, because a day's plan begins in the morning. If you don't eat some nutritious food in the morning, you may not have energy for the whole day. And for children, the nutrition of children is absorbed from the food, so children's breakfast should eat some food with higher nutritional value. So what should children eat for breakfast? What is the most nutritious?

1. First of all, the grains in the diet, that is, the carbohydrates contained in staple foods such as rice and noodles, can provide sufficient energy for children's brain activities. If it is insufficient, it will cause insufficient energy supply to the brain and affect reaction ability.

2. Secondly, the protein rich in dairy products is not only a component of brain tissue cells; it can also be broken down into amino acids and act as a neurotransmitter to participate in the transmission of nerve signals in brain activities. It should be noted that skim milk and low-fat milk are only suitable for children with obesity and high blood lipids; for normal children, they should still drink whole milk.

3. Again, the vitamins contained in fruits and vegetables will participate in the metabolism of the brain. Once the vitamin intake is insufficient, it will easily affect brain activity.

4. Finally, fish, especially deep-sea fish, contains DHA, which is an essential fatty acid that is extremely beneficial to the growth and development of brain nerves, and can enhance memory and thinking ability, and improve intelligence.

1. Children’s poor breakfast is harmful to their health

1. Students who do not eat breakfast well or do not eat breakfast at all will not get enough nutrition and will be easily hungry, which will lead to slow reaction, dizziness, palpitations, poor endurance, and some will experience "hypoglycemia" reaction and even loss of consciousness.

2. Eating a poor breakfast or skipping breakfast will cause an imbalance in energy metabolism, leading to malnutrition in children, affecting their physical development, and inducing gastritis, gallstones and other diseases (many adult gallstones and gastritis start from poor eating habits)

3. Children who skip breakfast or eat a poor breakfast often feel sleepy, restless, agitated, have difficulty concentrating, are slow to answer questions, forgetful when doing homework, have a significant decline in memory, gradually drop in academic performance, and lack endurance in physical education classes due to low blood sugar.

2. Simple methods for making nutritious breakfast for children. If you look through articles on nutrition, nutritionists generally believe that breakfast should be diversified. It should not be just milk and eggs, or just fried dough sticks and pickles. According to the requirements of reasonable nutrition and balanced diet, children's nutritious breakfast should contain the following four types of food:

1. Cereal foods - steamed buns, rice, bread or whole grain steamed bread.

2. Animal food - eggs or meat.

3. Drink soy products such as milk or soy milk.

4. Eat breakfast with fresh vegetables or fruits. If all four categories are available, the breakfast quality is the best; if three of them are consumed, the breakfast quality is good; if only two or less categories are selected, the breakfast quality is poor.

Breakfast at my family is usually porridge; white porridge with boiled eggs, a little meat, vegetables and steamed buns (with a spoonful of protein powder); or shrimp porridge, century egg and lean meat porridge, shredded chicken porridge... or oatmeal cooked with milk, homemade sandwiches... It's best to have some fruit after the meal, such as bananas... apples... There is a saying "gold fruit for breakfast, silver fruit for lunch, scraps for dinner..." This vividly illustrates that eating fruit also requires a good time.
