The dangers of children not eating vegetables

In life, almost every child doesn't like to eat vegetables, which seems to be an unsolvable mystery. Everyone knows that vegetables are rich in vitamins needed by the human body, and eating more vegetables can help digestion. But some children just don’t like to eat vegetables, and their parents, because they spoil their children, also follow their children’s ideas. However, if children do not eat vegetables, it is very harmful to their health. This harm cannot be remedied by taking nutritional supplements later. Here we specifically introduce the harm of children not eating vegetables.

1. Constipation occurs frequently.

Not eating vegetables will result in insufficient fiber intake, which will have little irritation to the intestinal wall, causing intestinal muscle motility to weaken and feces to stay in the intestine too long. As a result, babies often suffer from constipation and absorb toxic components in the feces into the blood, affecting normal metabolism and making them prone to illness. Eating more vegetables can prevent baby from constipation and other diseases. Eating more vegetables can increase immunity and resistance.

2. Damage the intestinal environment.

The cellulose in vegetables can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria. If you don't eat vegetables often, it will destroy the growth environment of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and affect the intestines' ability to absorb nutrients.

3. Insufficient intake of vitamin C.

Vegetables are the main source of vitamin C, which has a great impact on the baby's development. It can promote calcium deposition and is an essential nutrient for the healthy development of teeth and bones of rapidly growing babies. If you don't eat vegetables regularly, you may experience pulp bleeding, pulpitis, soft and easy-to-break bones, subcutaneous bleeding, and physical infection.

4. Insufficient intake of vitamin A.

Yellow-green vegetables are rich sources of beta-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. A lack of vitamin A will affect the baby's vision, skin, mucous membranes and other functions, leading to night blindness, dermatitis or recurrent respiratory tract infections.

5. Excessive intake of heat energy.

Not eating vegetables during meals will make it difficult for babies to feel full, which will often cause them to unknowingly consume too much energy, leading to obesity and affecting their health in adulthood.
