Do children need brain supplements?

Parents with children at home know that children should supplement more nutrition during their developmental period. Some children are very picky about eating and have anorexia, so parents should take the initiative to supplement their children with some nutrients in food. So, the editor will share with parents whether children need some food to supplement their brains, and what food is best for brain supplementation?

1. The best staple food: whole-wheat food

Whole-wheat foods contain many nutrients that babies need, such as iron, vitamins, magnesium, zinc and crude fiber. In Western countries, whole wheat flour is known as the best staple food ingredient. Many families use toasted whole wheat bread as their baby's staple food. If you spread some baby-specific cheese on it, it will be more nutritious. Although eating habits vary from country to country, nutrition knows no borders. We can mix whole grains and flour to make staple food (such as steamed cakes), which can also provide rich nutrition for babies.

For picky kids: Make a cute sandwich with chocolate sauce and whole wheat bread, and then put a creative beetle shape on it. When his interest is attracted by the cute shape, he will not care why the bread is not white.

2. The best fruit: kiwi

Kiwi fruit is known as a gold mine of nutrition. It is rich in vitamin C. According to analysis, the vitamin C content of every 100 grams of kiwi fruit pulp is 100 to 420 mg, which can be called the "king of VC" among fruits. In addition, it also contains rich protein, sugar, fat, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The dietary fiber and rich antioxidants it contains can play a role in clearing away heat and reducing fire, moisturizing dryness and promoting bowel movements. But be careful not to let your baby eat too much of the seeded part in the middle of the kiwi fruit, because this part is not easy to digest.

For picky kids: If your baby doesn’t like to eat raw kiwi, you can make it into juice or kiwi jam, which is equally effective.

3. The best vegetable: spinach

The main nutrients spinach provides for babies are vitamin A and folic acid, as well as some vitamin C and iron. Because it has no peculiar smell, babies usually like to eat it. And spinach has many uses. You can use it as a garnish on the side of a plate, put some ketchup on it, or use it instead of lettuce in your baby's sandwich. But remember, you can't eat it with tofu, otherwise it will affect the absorption of calcium.

For picky children: Getting babies to eat vegetables has always been a headache for mothers. If you spend more time and make a creative vegetable meal, such as spinach sushi or spinach rice, your baby will never think that this interesting and delicious thing is made of spinach.

4. The best breakfast: Cereal

Even baby cereal breakfasts bought from the supermarket are very healthy. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. However, when purchasing, choose those that are specially made for babies and have a low salt content. Millet porridge and corn porridge made at home are also very nutritious. It should be noted that when you need to eat cereal breakfast with milk, the choice of milk is very important. It is best not to use skim milk for babies under 2 years old, and it is best to use breast milk or formula milk for babies under 1 year old.

For picky kids: Breakfast is very important for babies. Make an interesting breakfast that your baby will definitely like: a banana man (rich in potassium), a glass of milk (rich in calcium), and then sprinkle cereal breakfast on top to make an interesting shape.

Parents should pay attention to the fact that children should pay more attention to supplementing the nutrients necessary for the body during the development period. They should provide their children with a healthy and happy space, take them for running and exercise, and guide their children to have a happy childhood and let their brains develop naturally. Children develop their brains while adults provide leadership!
