There are also people affected by high temperatures along with us adults, and of course they are children. So, which foods should we prefer for our children in high temperatures?
With the summer months, water and electrolyte losses in children increase with the increase in beaches, pools, sports courses and physical activity. Children's water loss should never be ignored. Children should definitely consume 2-2.5 liters of water a day. We can use colorful flasks, glasses and decorations to make children love drinking water.
Children and ice cream are things that should never be considered separate in the summer months. So, what should we pay attention to when giving ice cream to our child? First of all, we should prefer ice creams made with natural milk instead of ready-made ice creams with lots of cream and chocolate. Milk ice creams are a good source to cool our children and replace the minerals they lose (such as calcium and magnesium). What should not be forgotten when consuming ice cream is that it should be given to our children once a day as a snack.
One of the biggest mistakes families make is to give their children snacks at the beach, at the pool, or on the street because it is practical. These types of packaged foods have low nutritional values and high sugar content, making them an unhealthy food choice for our children. Instead of such junk foods, healthy snacks such as toast with cheese, fresh fruits, tomatoes, cucumbers, milk, buttermilk, kefir, hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts can be chosen. It will be healthier to feed them foods with high nutritional and protein content, such as grilled meat, chicken and fish, instead of fries.
Children are our future, let's feed our children balanced and correct for a healthy generation..
Wishing you healthy days..
