Reasonable Diet

Treat nutrition reasonably. You can not judge the product only by the content of calories, or vitamins, or mineral salts. All eventually need

in combination of high and low-calorie foods, as well as with other diet components. If a person is too serious about one aspect of the diet and forgets about others, he is in for trouble. A teenage girl, in her fanatical desire to lose weight, refuses any food in which, as she heard, there are calories, she eats exclusively vegetable juices, fruits and coffee. If she so will eat so long, it will necessarily fall ill. A seriously-minded mother who came to the erroneous opinion that all the value in the vitamins, and starch is not needed at all, feeds the child for breakfast with carrot salad and grapefruit. Poor thing gets so many calories that they will not last even for a rabbit. A full mother, born of a family prone to fattening, is ashamed of the thinness of her child and feeds him only with high-calorie food. This further ruins his appetite. The child eats a little and receives insufficient quantity of mineral salts and vitamins..

A simple guide to choosing a diet. All this seems very complicated, but in fact it is not. Fortunately, the mother does not need to expect a perfect diet for her child. The experiments of Dr. Davis and others showed that ultimately the child himself is looking for a balanced diet( paragraph 409), of course, if he is not forced and does not inspire prejudices about food and if he is offered a variety of useful natural foods. Parents should imagine in general terms the components of a normal diet, should know what can be replaced if the child has lost the taste for a product. This is how approximately the daily nutrition of the child should be.

1. Milk( in any form), preferably three quarters of a liter-liter.

2. Meat, or poultry, or fish.

3. Eggs( an extra egg can replace meat, and vice versa, although it is desirable to give both).

4. Vegetables, green or yellow, once or twice, part - in raw form.

5. Fruits, two or three times, at least half in raw form, including orange juice( additional fruits can replace vegetables, and vice versa).

6. Starchy vegetables, once or twice.

7. Bread from wholemeal flour, crackers, cereal, from one to three times.

8. Vitamin D( in milk or in the form of a concentrate).Now we can talk about different types of products.
