Foods that harm the child's health

“Many foods containing additives, artificial colors, excess sugars and preservatives can harm children's health,” Somayeh Fatahi, a nutritionist and diet specialist, told Mehr News Agency. These substances can cause hormonal disorders and various gastrointestinal problems such as intestinal inflammation and even help with premature puberty. Also, some of these substances can lead to chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

He added: “To deal with these issues and encourage natural nutrition, an effective way is to create healthy eating habits from an early age.” As you mentioned, mothers can play an important role in this process by making cakes and homemade cakes using healthy raw materials, instead of using corporate products that contain additives and synthetic colors.

How to replace additives with natural options?

Fatahi continued: In addition, controlling the amount of processing products and introducing healthy alternatives such as fruits, vegetables and seeds can help children make better dietary choices. Also, the use of natural materials such as gelatin -free gelatin and additives is also a good option, as long as you can get these materials from natural resources instead of using ready -made products.

“Finally, healthy nutrition training and healthy childhood options can have a huge impact on the future eating habits of children,” he said. Families should note that even small changes in eating habits can make big changes over time.
