Many parents nowadays hope that their children can achieve great success. In order to give their children a head start, parents try their best to help them, especially when it comes to their diet. When their children are about to take exams, parents go all out to make sure they eat a lot and eat well. We do not deny parents' efforts, but it is important to have a "scientific supplement" to avoid the "backfire" effect. According to past experiences, many children have suffered from eating too much before exams and some have even fainted in the exam hall.
Nutrition experts emphasize that the diet of students should be balanced and not focused on quantity. Protein, fat, vitamins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients should meet the body's normal needs, and the intake should not be excessive or insufficient. Students can choose to eat more longan, as traditional Chinese medicine believes that longan has a warm and sweet taste, which is good for nourishing the heart and spleen and replenishing qi and blood, making it a good medicine for calming the mind and nourishing the body.
Boys should not consume more than 50 grams of fat per day, while girls should not exceed 120 grams per day. In addition, animal and vegetable oils should be used in combination. Students should eat more fruits such as kiwi, fresh dates, oranges, and sweet oranges, as well as vegetables such as rapeseed, spinach, and sweet peppers. It is also important to supplement high-quality protein.
In general, students need about 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Ideal protein-rich foods include soy products, lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and animal organs such as pork liver and kidney. Additionally, overeating is not conducive to the intellectual development of students. According to experts, if someone eats heavily during every meal, the blood will stay in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, leading to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, hindering the development of brain cells, and causing symptoms such as sluggishness, decreased memory, and slow thinking. Therefore, students should not overeat during meals.
A friendly reminder from the editor:
Experts point out that there are three taboos when it comes to supplementation:
1. Avoid excessive supplementation. Excessive supplementation can disrupt the physiological functions of the internal organs and lead to imbalances between yin and yang.
2. Avoid insufficient supplementation. People should take supplements based on their specific needs. Types of supplements include nourishing qi, boosting yang, nourishing yin, and nourishing blood. It is also important to protect the spleen and stomach to prevent situations where insufficient supplementation or ineffective medication occurs.
3. Avoid keeping the enemy inside. People with excessive pathogenic factors and deficiencies should not supplement blindly. It is important to first eliminate the pathogenic factors. If deficiencies are supplemented while keeping the pathogenic factors inside, it will be difficult to expel them in the future.
