Sugary drinks are bad for children

In recent years, the proportion of children with obesity in Taiwan has been on the rise. Experts recommend quitting sugary drinks so as not to affect the secretion of growth hormone. Milk cannot be consumed as water, and fried chicken ribs can eat too much, which can also hinder calcium absorption.

According to the Taiwan "Department of Health" survey, the overweight and obesity rates of primary school students, junior high school students, and high school students are 28.6%, 27.9%, and 31.1%, respectively.

Children are growing taller and lose weight while taking care of heights. From the aspects of healthy food, eating skills and healthy sports, Luo Fusong, director of the Department of Childhood Endocrinology and Genetics at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, reminds that children cannot stay up late, but also quit sugary drinks. .

Luo Fusong said that children and adolescents secrete growth hormone every 60 to 90 minutes while they sleep, and secondly, exercise for at least 30 minutes every day can also promote the secretion of growth hormone; however, drinking a cup of sugar-sweetened drinks not only eats excess calories, but also It will stop the secretion of growth hormone for 3 to 4 hours.

Luo Fusong looked for school children to test oral glucose and found that children took 1.75 grams of glucose per kilogram of body weight, and growth hormone secreted shutdown for 2 hours. Take a child with a first-grade weight of about 20 kilograms as an example, drink a 350ml full sugar drink or eat 35g of sugar. Growth hormone is inhibited for 2 hours; drink 500 to 700ml, and the inhibition time will double.
