Children eat spinach does more harm than good

There is also a lot of iron in spinach, eat spinach can prevent iron deficiency, but there is one point, children to eat spinach, less harmful and more beneficial.
Spinach is a family day with food containing iron, vitamins and so on. Some parents know higher than spinach in iron, iron-deficiency anemia can prevent the baby, let your baby eat spinach. In fact, the benefits of small children to eat spinach, but a lot of harm.
Spinach contains oxalic acid, oxalic acid and calcium in food combination will produce calcium oxalate, calcium oxalate can not be absorbed by the body, so eat spinach can cause calcium deficiency. Calcium affect children's growth and development, susceptible to rickets, tetany psychosis. If children have a calcium deficiency symptoms, eat more spinach, make the disease worse.
Although the higher iron content of spinach, but its hard to be contained in the intestinal absorption of iron and oxalic acid is easily formed by precipitation of iron so that iron can not be used by the human body can not prevent iron deficiency anemia. Iron supplementation should be used to the baby spinach in water, iron-rich foods such as liver paste. Therefore, children should not eat spinach

Nuts is advantageous to the child's brain and eyes

Nuts contain more fat, but mostly the main unsaturated fatty acids, which are rich in linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Linoleic acid, linolenic acid DHA and AA, but the precursor Oh, there they are, the body can synthesize DHA and AA. Children eat more nuts, the growth of the child brain is very favorable.
1-3 years old is the baby's brain and visual development of the golden age. Late pregnancy to 1-year-old is the baby of the rapid period of brain development, in addition to the accumulation of cell number and weight, the brain cell proliferation and myelination were also constant. 1 year old, the baby's brain weighs 80% of adults, and brain cell proliferation and myelination are going to 3 years old.
Brain about 1 / 4 of the solid material is formed by the phospholipid. Cerebral cortex phospholipid DHA and AA by the composition of the main. Cerebral cortex and the development of the retina and nerve are closely related to another. To do this, eat nuts on the baby's brain and vision development is very good.
Fat in the brain play a complex and sophisticated functions play an important role. To the brain provide an excellent rich in fat, can promote brain cell development and the formation of myelin sheath of nerve fibers, and to ensure their good features. Best foods are sesame, walnut, natural state of the animals and other nut products. Walnut enriched protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and other trace elements, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in the baby's brain development is extremely useful.
In addition to its nuts contain linoleic acid, linolenic acid, DHA and AA can be synthesized in the retina has a role in promoting the improvement, its vitamins and calcium, zinc and other minerals for the normal development of vision has a direct impact.
In addition, scientists recently discovered that chewing is also conducive to the appropriate visual acuity improved. Because the choroid of the eye lens of the eye with a regulatory role, but depends on the regulatory functions of the choroid facial muscle, facial muscle strength enhancement is due to chewing. However, less than 1 year old baby's soft rotten food than adults, and even juice of, eating little or no chewing chewing. To this end, a 1-3 year old baby eat some nuts, chewing their skills to provide the necessary material to ensure that it is particularly important. Chewing nuts, your baby's eyes more bright!
