Baby malnutrition special signal

People often use nutrient deficiencies such as wasting, stunting, and anemia or calcium deficiency as indicators of malnutrition. Although this method is reliable, but the condition has developed to this step, the baby's health has suffered a certain degree of damage, can only "repair," which is obviously not the best policy.

In fact, the baby's nutritional status has been declining, and often before the disease appears, various signals have appeared. If parents can find these signals in time and take appropriate measures, malnutrition can be suppressed in the “embryonic” state. The latest research by experts shows that the following signals are particularly worthy of parents’ attention:

First, mood changes. A large number of surveys and research data from pediatricians in the United States show that when the baby is in a bad mood and there is an abnormal change, some of the body's nutrients should be taken into account.

1, baby unhappy, unresponsive, expression numbness prompted the body lack of protein and iron, should give the baby to eat a little aquatic products, meat, dairy products, livestock blood, egg yolk and other high iron, high protein foods.

2, the baby worried, frightened, insomnia and forgetfulness, indicating that the body is not enough B vitamins, then add some beans, animal liver, walnuts, potatoes and other B-vitamin-rich foods are of great benefit.

3, the baby's emotional change, love to lose temper is related to eating too much sweets, medically known as "glucose psychiatric irritability." In addition to reducing sweets, it is also necessary to arrange more foods rich in B vitamins.

The baby is stubborn, timid, and fearful, mostly due to insufficient intake of vitamins A, B, C and calcium, so you should eat more animal liver, fish, shrimp, milk, vegetables, fruits and other foods.

Second, abnormal behavior. Malnutrition can also cause baby behavior abnormalities, which can be summarized as follows:

Do not love to communicate, out of action, clumsy action, mostly the result of vitamin C deficiency in the body. Foods rich in such vitamins, such as tomatoes, oranges, apples, cabbages, and lettuce, are added to foods as the best dietetic foods. These foods are rich in acids and vitamins, can enhance the nerve's information transmission function, relieve or eliminate the above symptoms.

1, behavior and age are not commensurate, compared with the baby of the same age naive and ridiculous, indicating that the lack of amino acids in the body, increase high protein foods such as lean meat, beans, milk, eggs and other imperative.

2, at night, molars, twitching hands and feet, easy to wake up, often a lack of calcium signals, should be timely increase in green vegetables, dairy products, fish loose, shrimp, and so on.

3, like to eat confetti, dirt and other foreign bodies, known as "pizza". More related to the lack of iron, zinc, manganese and other trace elements. Seaweed, edible fungus, and mushrooms contain more zinc, and poultry and seafood contain high levels of zinc and manganese, which should be ideal for such babies.

Third, excessive obesity. In the past, obesity was generally considered as a nutritional excess. Recent studies have shown that excess nutrition is only part of the reason for the "fat bump." Another part of the fat baby is due to malnutrition. Specifically, due to poor eating habits such as picky eaters and partial eclipses, some of the “micronutrient” intake is insufficient. "Micronutrient" deficiency causes the body's fat to not be normally metabolized as heat loss, but has to accumulate in the abdomen and subcutaneous, and the baby will naturally lose weight.

Therefore, for obese children, in addition to reducing the intake of high-fat foods (such as meat) and more exercise, food varieties should also be added to achieve a reasonable mix between coarse grains, grains, and meat.
