The negative effects of “soft eating” on children go far beyond the teeth to the brain. When we talk about stimulating the brain, we are not only talking about getting the brain to think, but also about stimulating the brain when chewing food, both of which are good for the brain. Eat only soft, the mind becomes demented. Eating hard food can promote chewing, chewing movement can make the facial blood circulation accelerated, the amount of blood flowing to the brain significantly increased, to promote brain development. “Eating soft and hard” is also likely to lead to constipation in children, thus affecting intelligence. Medical research has found that children aged 2 to 6 years old with chronic constipation, lack of energy, lack of patience, sleepy, crying, slow to respond to external changes, do not like to talk, do not like to make friends. However, within a few days after their bowel movements are cleared by medication, their mood improves significantly and their “dull-headed” reactions are reduced. However, most of these children quickly became constipated again and returned to their original “dull-headedness”. He believes that regular constipation, children will feel bloated discomfort, but because they can not express their own discomfort, more can not attract the attention of parents, their attention is too much focused on the constipation discomfort, so will be indifferent to external things and become “dull head”. Expert advice a: half-year-old baby should also be soft and hard “food” experts remind, not only children and adults should eat more hard food, even a few months after the birth of the baby should also be soft and hard “food”. Young parents are often worried about the ability of their baby’s milk teeth to bear, always limit or avoid hard food, but medical experts tell us: 6 months after birth, the baby’s jawbone and gums have developed to a certain extent, enough to chew semi-solid or even solid food. After the eruption of milk teeth, it is more important to eat some fiber-rich, hard food, such as fruit, cookies, etc., through the chewing action of the facial muscle and eye muscle movement to accelerate blood circulation, promote the development of the dental arch, jaw bone and facial bone, both brain and beauty. Expert advice two: eat less fine rice, fine noodles fine rice, fine noodles are often eaten in life, quite popular, however, in the process of making, the beneficial ingredients have been lost, what remains is basically carbohydrates. And carbohydrates in the body can only play a “fuel” role. Therefore, it is not a brain-friendly food, but a brain-damaging food. Expert advice three: eat more natural hard foods to reduce constipation Treatment of pediatric constipation, improve the diet is a key point. Control the consumption of cereals, cakes, cookies and other commercially available foods for children; induce them to drink more water; carrots and greens, bamboo shoots, potatoes, corn and other fibrous foods should be their common table fare. In addition, it is also important to change the habits of life. Cultivate the good habit of going to bed early and waking up early and defecating in the morning, after persisting for a period of time, constipation will be improved or cured.
