We have been emphasizing the nutritional value of vegetables and coarse grains, but have been "defeating" from giving children meat. Does the child eat meat well? If you do not eat meat, will it cause any nutritional problems? If you eat meat, choose what kind of meat, how to cook it is healthy?
Meat foods include fish, poultry, and meat, providing high-quality protein, rich B vitamins, and trace elements such as iron, zinc, and copper that are most easily absorbed. Eating meat can prevent anaemia and can effectively solve malnutrition caused by lack of protein in children and promote growth and development.
For adults, eating less meat is not very important, because adults are not prone to iron deficiency, and protein absorption is also very strong. However, for children who are in rapid development, it is an important diet that allows them to grow healthily. Even in proportion to the daily content of meat, the ratio of children is even higher than adults. If an adult weighs 70 kilograms, the daily intake of meat needed to maintain the basic needs is 65 grams, the conversion ratio is about 0.93 grams per kilogram of body weight, and the child's conversion ratio is 1.2 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. The basic need for meat is even higher than that of adults.
Nutritionists have long pointed out that children, especially children within 3 years of age, are the most critical period for the development of children's brains. If children are not allowed to eat meat during this period, it will seriously affect children's brain and mental development. Dr. Pound Research pointed out that the development of the brain may have a direct relationship with meat, and a moderately fat child may have a better brain development.
The irreplaceable advantages of meat
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that “grains are for raising and five animals for good.†In other words, the staple food still has to be eaten, but adding some meat can benefit the body. The benefits of meat are to provide us with high-quality protein, rich B vitamins, and trace elements such as iron, zinc, and copper that are most easily absorbed. Eating meat can prevent anemia and can also effectively solve protein malnutrition and promote growth and development.
High animal iron absorption rate
Plant foods also contain a lot of iron, even higher than the meat. However, the plant-derived iron absorption rate is relatively low, and is usually insoluble. It requires a large amount of gastric acid to dissolve, and it also needs a large amount of vitamin C to reduce it, so that it can be absorbed more smoothly by the body. If food contains more oxalic acid, plants and other ingredients, it will hinder the absorption of plant iron. Similarly, the absorption rate of zinc, copper, manganese, and other elements in plant foods is not high. Therefore, those who seldom eat meat must be careful with the food in order to avoid the adverse effects of iron deficiency, zinc deficiency and other issues on the child's development.
Protein "Quality and Beauty"
Of course, plant foods also contain enough protein. All beans and soy products are good sources of vegetable protein, and various nuts are also good protein foods. However, they are still inferior to the "quality" and deliciousness of meat protein, especially for anemic children. Beans are inferior to meat in the supply of iron.
For adult men, whether or not they eat meat is not very important, because they are not susceptible to iron deficiency, and their protein nutrient absorption capacity is also very strong. However, for children who are in rapid development, it is an important diet that allows them to grow healthily.
Why can't we allow children to eat meat?
Although children need to eat meat, many parents have heard that meat can cause a lot of trouble. One of them is worried that meat is fat and it is easy for the child to gain weight; the other is that there are hormones in the meat and it will make the child premature; it is also worried that meat cholesterol is high and harmful to the body.
Fat-induced fat
Indeed, as far as pork is concerned, even lean meat contains quite high fat, which is about 25%, and fat is about 90%. Obviously, eating too much meat is not good for your child's health, especially for children who are already fat. For adults, only need to eat 50 to 100 grams of meat a day to ensure the needs; children young, 50 grams of boneless fish or lean meat every day, it is sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the day. Moreover, the appetite for eating too much meat and eating other things will be small, and it will affect the overall nutritional balance.
Hormonal precocity
From a "hormones" perspective, things are more complicated than parents imagine. Currently, as long as the correct feeding method is adopted, various fattening animals can quickly slaughter without adding hormones. However, some companies or individuals with poor feeding levels may also add hormones banned. Among them, beef is more worrying than chicken. The problem is that even if no hormone is added to the feed, the body of an adult animal will still naturally contain a certain amount of hormones, just as a mature human female certainly contains a certain amount of estrogen. Animals used as meat eaters are not female animals, or animals that have undergone "castration," and certainly no adult male animals because they have an unpleasant problem. Moreover, people eat mainly fattening animals, and the more fat the animal is, the higher estrogen will be in the body and the same for humans. Therefore, as long as eating more meat, it will inevitably increase the intake of estrogen in the diet, so that children tend to precocious. Studies in Western countries have shown that after the increase in meat intake, the child's developmental age will be 2 to 3 years ahead of schedule.
Therefore, meat is only one part of a balanced diet. Absolutely it cannot be controlled and over-provisioned because children love to eat meat. This is not what a responsible parent should do.
