As the newborn grows from birth to about 3 or 4 months, it is usually only possible to drink breast milk or baby-specific formula. But as they can eat solid food, they start eating sweet foods. This became the beginning of the baby's beginning to eat sweets. Sugar can promote the secretion of blood sugar and serotonin, which can produce mood and pleasure. For this reason, teachers or parents will use candy as a gift to reward children as long as they show good behaviour or complete their intended goals.
The child is very happy after eating sweets. So that candy is one of the reasons why children like to eat. We all know that sweets contain the essential calories of the human body, and it is one of the essential nutrients for children. It is the source of energy for young children. However, the results of the British Food Standards Agency show that if children eat too many sweets and drinks, it may have a great impact on children's learning. What effect does eating too much sweet food have on learning? Let’s take a look!
1. The child's mood is difficult to stabilize and lead to poor sleep quality. Excessive sweets can directly affect the child's appetite, making the child lack vitamin B1. The glucose cannot then be completely oxidized. Metabolites such as lactic acid are eventually produced. These metabolites affect the activity of the child's central nervous system. It can make children's emotions very urgent, and it is difficult to concentrate.
2. The probability of suffering from myopia becomes high. Excess sugar can increase your child's blood sugar levels. Correspondingly, the osmotic pressure of the liquid in the human body is lowered. Crystalline lentil will bulge and cause myopia. In addition, excessive consumption of sugar can cause a decrease in calcium levels in the child's body, which reduces the elasticity of the developing outer wall membrane of the eye. If the child does not pay attention to eye hygiene, myopia is not far from the child.
3, the child's brain development will be affected. Children who like to eat sweets can cause a partial eclipse. A partial eclipse reduces the absorption of proteins and vitamins, which causes the child's brain to slow down. Some parents will say that some foods will add fructose, and the natural sugar extracted from the fruit will not be harmful! According to the survey, the fructose in our common food is not the fructose in natural fruit, but the processed dessert - high fructose corn syrup!
