"Baby, called an aunt, aunt to give you sugar to eat." This is the most common trick we use to cheat the baby to open the mouth, the face of "sugar cannonball" temptation, it seems that few babies can resist to live. However, we advise that such an aunt should better not do it again.
Eat more sugar, will hurt
Sugar is one of the essential nutrients in the human body. Eating reasonably can promote the baby's healthy and lively growth. Eating more can only damage the child's health:
· Malnutrition
Sugar is a high energy, pure hot food. Including white sugar, glucose, rock sugar, red pond, candy and so on. However, it does not contain other nutrients such as protein, vitamins, inorganic salts, and fiber. Every 1 gram of sugar produces 4 kcal in the body, so the baby does not feel hungry after eating sugar, food intake decreases, so the body needs enough calories, but the lack of other nutrients such as minerals, trace elements, dietary fiber, etc. .
·Influence of bone growth
Sugar is an acid food that does not contain calcium. The normal human body remains weakly alkaline. When you eat too much sugar, the body becomes neutral or weakly acidic. It consumes the body's basic substance, calcium, resulting in calcium deficiency in children, and osteoporosis. Severe or even causing rickets. Infants and young children are unsteady walking and are prone to falling. With osteoporosis, they are prone to fractures.
· Damage teeth
The greatest enemy that damages teeth is Lactobacillus, which likes to breed and grow in the acid environment of the pits. Children who eat too much sugar and do not gargle in time will increase the acidity of the oral cavity and create conditions for the propagation and growth of Lactobacillus, so that the teeth decalcify, dissolve and form dental caries.
· Causes diarrhea
Too much sugar, excessive fermentation of sugar in the baby's body, excessive stimulation of gastrointestinal motility may also cause diarrhea, resulting in a vicious cycle.
·Induces obesity
Excessive sugar intake of the baby results in excessive intake of energy, which translates into accumulation of fat in the body leading to weight exceeding the normal range, and increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases in adulthood.
· weakening immunity
Under normal circumstances, the average phagocytosis capacity of a white blood cell in human blood is 14; after eating a sugar, it becomes 10; after eating a sugar cake, it becomes 5; after eating a piece of butter chocolate, it becomes 2;鸶î’ç¬¤è› , ,, enough to see the harm of sweets on immunity. In addition, regular sugar will make the normal weak alkaline body become acidic, and acidic body is a hotbed of various diseases, easy to make children infected with sores, warts, tonsillitis and other diseases.
·Causes "sweet food syndrome"
When sugar breaks down and generates energy in the body, it produces lactic acid and pyruvic acid. These substances are decomposed by enzymes containing vitamin B1 into dioxide fabrics and water to be excreted. The human body is not able to synthesize vitamin B1 itself, relying entirely on absorption from food. Vitamin B1 in food is extremely limited. In addition, children who prefer sweets have a partial eclipse and anorexia habits, which further aggravate the lack of vitamin B1. Once the human body lacks vitamin B1, it will affect the excretion of pyruvic acid and lactic acid, causing it to accumulate in the body, especially in the brain tissue, causing the baby's mood to change, appearing inexplicably angry, emotional, grumpy, hyperactive and other phenomena , called "Sweet Syndrome." This symptom is extremely detrimental to the growth and development of children.
