We all wish we had a pair of golden eyes, but we become nearsighted if we are not careful. Both adults and children need to pay attention to the protection of vision. As a person who values it deeply, I say that one mistake is a big mistake! If something like this happens to a child, the child’s entire childhood and even life will be fogged over. Every sweet treat is an endless temptation for children. “Eating sugar hurts your teeth” is probably one of the reasons most parents use to deny their children, but do you know the other harmful effects of eating too much sugar? Only 3 years old, and you’re wearing glasses! “Uncle, here I go again!” 5-year-old girl Mingming shouted at the doctor as soon as she entered the door. Mingming’s mother said that Mingming squinted when she was 3 years old, and when she went to the hospital for a checkup, she was found to be nearsighted and has been wearing glasses since then. The degree has gone up again in the past two years, and now it’s 300 degrees. “I’m not myopic, and his father is not myopic, so I don’t know how this child became myopic?” Ming Ming’s mother, “Myopia before school, there is a long road ahead, how can we go?” The main cause of myopia in children is unscientific use of the eyes, watching TV and using the computer for too long, mostly more than two or three hours a day. Another important reason is the intake of too much sugar! What are the dangers of eating too much sugar? 1, endocrine system diseases candy or sweets contain a lot of sugar, calories are also high, eat too much easily lead to obesity. After gaining weight, it may also cause cardiovascular diseases. Excessive sweets will also increase the burden on the pancreas. The body is in a high blood sugar environment for a long time, which will disrupt the body’s original balanced internal environment, excessive blood sugar secretion, the risk of diabetes. Especially children with a family history of diabetes should pay more attention to eating less sugar and more exercise. 2, myopia What is the relationship between eating sugar and myopia? There is really a relationship! When sugar is metabolized in the human body, it needs a lot of vitamin B1 to help and reduce the amount of calcium in the body. Vitamin B1 has a protective effect on the optic nerve, and the level of its content will affect the state of the optic nerve. Calcium is the “protector” of the eye tissue, calcium deficiency will not only cause the retina to lose its elasticity, the pressure in the lens rises, the front and back diameter of the eye elongates, affecting the toughness of the eye wall, prone to myopia. Eating too much sugar can also increase myopia! Because eating too much sugar, blood sugar increases, correspondingly lowering the osmotic pressure of body fluids, so that the atrial water in the eye infiltrates the lens, causing lens deformation, increasing the refractive power and aggravating myopia. 3, malnutrition candy, sweets calories are not very high? How can malnutrition? In fact, high calories and nutritious is not the same thing at all! Because sugar can only supply heat, but no other nutrient value. When eating more sugar every day, eating other nutrients is bound to reduce, resulting in a lack of protein, vitamins and minerals in the body, which can easily cause nutritional imbalance. Some children don’t want to eat when they eat too much sugar, and if they accidentally get tooth decay, the pain when chewing food will also affect their appetite, which will lead to nutrition deficiency and affect their growth and development. Some children are not only eccentric, but also active, inattentive, and have poor academic performance. A research study found that a significant portion of children with similar symptoms are related to excessive intake of sweets. From a medical point of view, if there is too much sugar in the body, metabolites such as pyruvic acid and lactic acid will increase significantly, and then it is necessary to consume a lot of vitamin B1 to accelerate the excretion of these metabolites, and vitamin B1 cannot be synthesized naturally in the body, and it all depends on the intake from food, but children who are partial to eating have difficulty in taking in more food containing vitamin B1. When the body vitamin B1 deficiency, sugar metabolites such as pyruvate will accumulate in the brain, while causing abnormalities in the personality of children. 5, reduce immunity, affect sleep A recent study found that sweets can reduce the body’s immunity. Under normal circumstances, the average ability of a white blood cell in the human blood to swallow germs is 14, after eating a dessert will become 10, after eating a sugary snack will become 5, after eating a creamy chocolate will become 2. It can be seen that sweets have a certain impact on immunity. In addition, eating too many sweets also has a negative effect on sleep. Researchers have conducted a survey on 1000 cases of sleep disorders and found that more than 87% of people love sweets. How to make children eat less sweets? 1, hide the candy, sweets Do not put the jars, bottles, etc. of sweets where the child can see at a glance, or he can reach. 2, do not eat sweets before and after meals and before bedtime Eating sweets before meals tends to reduce your child’s appetite, eating sweets after meals increases the absorption of calories, and eating sweets before bedtime tends to give your child dental disease. 3.Adopt substitutes and gradually reduce the amount of sugar You can look for some healthy sweets to replace chocolate, candy and cakes such as high-calorie sweets, such as pure fruit juice, raisins, etc., slowly dilute the taste and gradually reduce the amount of sugar to children. 4, control from a young age From the beginning of infancy, we must control the amount of sugar children take in from the diet. In general, the daily intake of sugar should not exceed 0.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. In other words, if the child’s weight is 10 kg, then his daily sugar intake should not exceed 5 grams, which is equivalent to 1.5 lumps of commercially available sugar.
