Eat, children, chocolate, will be healthy!

For any child's holiday is primarily sweets. This gluttony parents perceive as a necessary evil from time to time, anxiously wondering how many sweets can be eaten without harm to the body?



Use


Sweets are carbohydrates, that is the most important source of energy. Children move a lot, the power consumption they have large, it is necessary to quickly fill up, from this point of view sweets to children useful. Carbohydrates are also involved in the building of cell membranes, blood proteins, hormones.

So sweets included the Institute of nutrition in children's everyday diet. However, the norms recommended by physicians, are significantly different from the amount of sweets that kids eat in my life.




According to experts, for the full development of the child needs to consume 30-40 grams of "sweet carbs" per day: two or three candy, or one zeferino or two pecheritsa. One day, the rate can be doubled, and the next to live without the sweet.




Allocate consumption of sweets during the day should be so. For Breakfast you can do without sweets, enough sweet tea or cocoa. After lunch dessert, but it is not mandatory. But in the afternoon it's time to give the child a biscuit or a piece of chocolate. Dinner - again without the sweet.

If the child grabbed a candy bar in two hours after meal or before meal, enamel is blatant. And even teeth with a good heredity in this case, the danger of tooth decay.
