Don't mention any big ideas, let's just chat about eating before the exam. I know that you must be more anxious than me at the moment, wanting to put all the most nutritious things in the world into your children's bowls.
stop.
Stop abruptly. What you need to practice most at the moment is actually "steady". Don't let your love completely overwhelm your child before he enters the examination room.
Stability is more important than anything else
Indeed, if you look for interviews with nutrition experts, whether they are interviews with experts in West China or experts from other places, after reading them over and over again, there is only the same word "stable".
Keep your blood sugar stable and don't let your child fall asleep during the afternoon exam.
Keep your stomach and intestines stable and don't have diarrhea at critical moments. That's really useless.
Stay calm and don't create a tense atmosphere at the dinner table. Let your child eat a meal like a sentence.
Food safety, this string must be tightened
It’s June, it’s extremely hot, and bacteria are more active than anyone else.
Don’t eat at will : At this time, don’t try food from roadside stalls selling food or restaurant dishes you haven’t tasted before. It is best to eat at home or in the school cafeteria. If you really have to order takeout, you can choose restaurants that you have eaten in person on weekdays and have good reputations.
Don’t be in a hurry to cook a large amount: throw away the leftover food when it’s time to throw it out. The refrigerator is not a safe. Don't use your child's belly to test the tenacity of bacteria. Food must be cooked absolutely thoroughly, especially meat, eggs and the like.
Staple food, don’t just know rice and white noodles
The brain is powered by glucose. Not eating staple food is equivalent to leaving the brain in a state of starvation. However, just eating polished rice and white flour also has no effect. Blood sugar will rise rapidly, and then insulin will quickly cause it to drop, and the person will immediately become sluggish and drowsy.
So, you have to "eat it with it".
Don't just give your child a bowl of hot dry noodles or boil a bowl of white porridge for breakfast, because this will raise blood sugar too quickly. You can replace it with oats, or cook multigrain porridge, steam a sweet potato, or boil corn. These "slow carbohydrate" foods can allow blood sugar to be supplied to the brain stably throughout the morning.
The same is true for lunch. Add some brown rice, millet, or red beans to the rice, which has anti-hunger properties and will not make you feel sleepy.
Protein needs to be soaked in rain and dew
Don't just focus on the big fish and big meat. Have some high-quality protein with every meal, but don’t overdo it.
An egg and a glass of milk in the morning.
Have some fish, shrimp or lean meat at noon, steamed seabass is good, DHA is good for the brain.
You can eat some soy products at night to facilitate digestion.
Don't cook roast chicken today and roast duck tomorrow. Every meal is a sumptuous dish. The child will have digestive problems and become unable to bear it, thus becoming a burden on the body.
Don’t step on those fatal misunderstandings
At this time, parents tend to do stupid things.
One of the misunderstandings is superstition about supplements. Such as deep-sea fish oil, brain health products, etc., do not buy them randomly. If you are not used to it after eating it, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea, who will be responsible for the consequences? It should be noted that there is no magical thing that can make people instantly smarter.
There is another misunderstanding, that is, drinking coffee and strong tea. If your child is sleepy and tired, do you want to use this to refresh yourself? But be careful as you may experience palpitation, trembling hands, or inability to sleep. Boiled water is a very good drink. If you really feel it has no taste, cut two lemon slices and use it to soak in water.
Misunderstanding 3: If you suddenly change your taste, you don't usually eat spicy food, but you suddenly cook boiled fish to appetize your appetite. If you don't usually eat mutton, and you suddenly stew sheep and scorpions, you are setting a trap for your child. The stomach and intestines need an adaptation period, so just cook the dishes he usually likes and is familiar with.
Misunderstanding No. 4: Causing him to overeat. "Eat more" is a saying that our Chinese parents often talk about. However, if you eat too much, all the blood will flow to the stomach to digest the food, and the brain will not receive enough blood supply. Instead, you will appear in a dazed state, and your thinking will become slow and unable to function flexibly. It is the most appropriate state to stay seven to eighty percent full.
Let’s talk about snacks and those that are available or not
If your child is hungry between meals, do not let him or her eat potato chips or spicy sticks. You can give a handful of walnuts, a handful of almonds, a cup of yogurt, or a banana. These are all high-quality items that can "recharge" the brain.
Fundamentally speaking, when you cook a meal, your child receives not only nutrients, but also a feeling of inner peace. Never ask questions at the dinner table, such as "How is your review going?" or "Are you sure about tomorrow?" You might as well talk about some topics that can make people feel happy, such as various rumors in the entertainment industry, current affairs news reported by various media, anything can be discussed.
The best "tonic" is actually your normal mind.
It was the bowl of millet porridge you brought out that he had been drinking since he was a child, and it was just right, neither hot nor cold.
I hope that for all children, whatever they write will be what their heart desires.
