Will you still give your baby juice in order to make him drink more water? That’s a big mistake! The American Academy of Pediatrics (The American Academy of Pediatrics) recently published a report in the journal “Pediatrics” (Pediatrics) said that parents should not give their infants less than 1 year old juice unless recommended by their doctors. What are the juices: 1. Raw juice: 100% pure juice, made from fresh fruit pressed and separated. No excipients are allowed to be added to the pure juice, so the taste is not sweet, with the natural aroma of the fruit, and the maximum retention of the nutrients in the fruit. 2, fruit juice: fruit cracked, the nucleus, crude fiber, etc. filtered out, and then made by high temperature sterilization, is about 40% of the original juice concentration, added a certain amount of sugar and flavor, good taste. 3, juice drinks: pure fruit juice content of not less than 10%. 4, fruit juice drinks: fruit juice content of not less than 10%, fruit content of not less than 5%. 5, fruit juice soda: the original fruit juice content of not less than 2.5%. 6, fruit-flavored drinks: the fruit flavor in the drink is basically synthesized by artificial additives, the original fruit juice content of less than 2.5%. 1, the American Academy of Pediatrics raised the age of not drinking juice to 1 year Previously, the American Academy of Pediatrics has been recommended not to give infants under 6 months of age to drink juice. But in light of growing evidence that juice consumption may trigger childhood obesity and dental caries, the organization decided to raise the age recommendation for not drinking juice from 6 months to 1 year. “Parents may think juice is healthy, but it may contain more sugar and calories and is not an appropriate substitute for fresh fruit,” Melvin Hyman, co-author of the guidelines and a professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, said in a statement, adding that “older Slightly older children can drink moderate amounts of juice, but there is absolutely no need for juice in children under 1 year old.” INTERPRETATION: The intake of fruit juice by babies can affect the amount of milk they drink and, in the long run, may trigger malnutrition in babies. Secondly, fruit juice contains less nutrition than fresh fruit, no dietary fiber, vitamin loss is greater; thirdly, fruit juice contains more calories, easy to cause obesity; fourthly, fruit juice contains high sugar, easy to cause dental caries, 6 months to 1 year old, it is the small milk teeth eruption period, drinking fruit juice makes baby suffer from dental caries risk increased. From these points, fruit juice really should not be given to babies under 1 year old to drink. 2.Limit the amount of juice for 1~3 years old For the upper limit of juice for children of different ages, the American Academy of Pediatrics also gives the recommended standard: (1) children aged 1-3 years old should drink no more than 4 ounces (about 120 ml) of juice per day; (2) children aged 4-6 years old should drink no more than 4-6 ounces (about 120-180 ml) of juice per day; (3) adolescents aged 6-18 years old should drink no more than 8 ounces (about 320 ml) of juice per day. (about 320 ml). Explanation: Making the drinking amount clear can prevent parents from giving their children too much juice to drink. For teething babies, it is better to eat whole fruit. 3. The guidelines recommend that parents do not use bottles and straw cups to give juice to their children, and do not give them juice before they go to bed. The best way is to pour a small amount of juice in a glass of water and let baby drink it. Not drinking juice before bedtime is also a good way to prevent tooth decay. 4.Strongly oppose to give children to drink juice products without high temperature sterilization Interpretation: if the juice is not sterilized by high temperature, it is easy to be contaminated, and E. coli and Salmonella are possible. Easy to trigger diarrhea in children. 5, children taking specific drugs do not drink grapefruit juice, because it will reduce the effectiveness of the drug Interpretation: the flavonoids contained in the juice may reduce the bioavailability of several types of drugs, as well as the metabolic process of a variety of enzymes and transfer protein activity. As for which kinds of drugs can not be taken with juice, parents are also difficult to identify, the best way is: take drugs with plain water! 6, children with dehydration and diarrhea should not drink juice Interpretation: children with dehydration and diarrhea, juice is not the best rehydration method, the best way to correct dehydration is to drink oral rehydration saline. Warm tips: 1, fruit is used to eat, not to drink. Eating fruit for babies can get more nutrition. Although freshly squeezed juice can preserve most of the water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C, B complex, and the mineral potassium and soluble dietary fiber, but most of the dietary fiber and some of the calcium, magnesium and other minerals are still stored in the fruit pomace, can not be drunk by children. It is a pity that so much nutrition is discarded. 2, fruit is good for baby teeth development. Fruits with certain hardness have to be chewed and chewed fully by teeth, so that baby’s teeth can be exercised and baby’s teeth will grow more neatly and also have the effect of preventing tooth decay.
