 Healthy nutrition of children at the age of two should take into account that the digestive tract has not yet fully formed, but the child has already grown to 20 teeth and every day the chewing muscles are getting stronger. Therefore, the child should not yet be given fried or fatty foods, but it is already necessary to select coarser foods. Following these recommendations will ensure the healthy development of the child.
A healthy diet in children should be at least because by the time of eating, the child's stomach produces digestive juices in sufficient quantities and, therewith, ensures better absorption of food. In addition, in the third year of life, the child's stomach is completely freed from food in 3.5 - 4 hours and, therefore, the next meal should be after such a period of time. Those. for healthy development, the child must eat 4 times a day. But what if the child is not yet hungry and does not want to eat at the appointed time? First of all, it is necessary to exclude "snacks" between meals, or to reduce them to a minimum. Then, a deviation from the meal schedule for half an hour is not critical. It's better than being forced to feed a baby.
Products for healthy nutrition for children
Milk and dairy products must be present in a child's healthy diet. The amount of dairy products, taking into account the products used for cooking, should be about 600 grams per day. It is desirable that the child receives about 200 grams of them in the form of kefir. In addition, the child must be given cottage cheese with a fat content of up to 15% in an amount of up to 100 grams, cream or sour cream must be no higher than 20% fat and it must be spent up to 20 grams for cooking, in addition, you can use milk, cheese and other dairy products, in the quality of which you are confident.
At this age, you can give your child almost all low-fat meat products. It is worth refraining only from duck and goose meat because they are difficult for the body to absorb. We should not forget about the liver, as well as about other by-products that are not only easily digestible, but also rich in vitamins and proteins. The daily intake of meat products is up to 120 grams. You can cook meat products for a healthy child's diet in any way, except for frying.
The egg can serve as the main protein source for the baby. The consumption rate is one egg per day. This includes eggs that are used for cooking, such as cutlets. It is not recommended to give a fried egg to a child at this age.
It is desirable that fish be present in the diet of a healthy child, but the daily intake is only 30 grams. It is simply impossible to cook this amount of fish. Therefore, the child needs to be given what has been prepared for the common table. For example: boiled fish or stewed with fish broth. You can soak the herring, remove the bones and give to the child. It is necessary to exclude fatty varieties, gourmet fish, smoked fish or canned food.
Vegetables are an essential component of a child's healthy diet because they are high in minerals and high in fiber. In addition, vegetables enhance appetite by promoting the secretion of digestive juices. The daily intake of vegetables by a child under three years old is about 250 grams. Moreover, 100 - 120 grams should be potatoes. In addition to potatoes, a child can be given small amounts of onions, dill, radishes, spinach, cabbage - and almost all vegetables except for exotic and pickled ones. You need to cook not only vegetable pureebut also finely chopped salads.
Fruit is an irreplaceable source of vitamins for the development of a healthy child.The daily intake of fruit for a two-year-old child is up to 200 grams. But personally, I think that limiting the child in the consumption of fruits is not worth it, unless they cause an allergic reaction or digestive upset.
Porridge, such as barley, barley, millet, are very useful for the developing young healthy body of the child. Perhaps, in terms of taste, they do not suit your baby, then mixtures for making cereals in the form of flakes come to the rescue, which are easy to prepare and choose suitable for any child's taste.
Peas, beans are very similar to cereals, but contain more protein. You can cook them for a child once or twice a week.
You can include flour products such as pancakes and pancakes in your 2-year-old's diet.
Particular attention should be paid to the consumption of sugar, the daily norm of which is only 30-40 grams, taking into account the sugar that is in the products. How to be here? After all, any child wants to eat candy or even a chocolate bar. If you give candy to a two-year-old child, then such candy, marmalade, marshmallow. When to give sweets? It is best to give sweets an hour and a half before meals. As an exception, you can give candy after a meal as a reward for good behavior at the table.
