With the development of children's taste perception, they have a certain preference for the taste of food, such as sweet food, fried food, or soft food that can be eaten without effort.

When parents eat certain food, children often eat this food too; Parents' dietary behavior can also affect their children's nutrient intake. Parents' intake of saturated fatty acids is high, and their children's intake of saturated fatty acids is also high; Parents' behavior of buying and choosing food also directly affects children's choice of food.

When vegetables are boiled in water, there are two effects on the vitamins contained in vegetables. On the one hand, water-soluble vitamins are more sensitive to heat, and heating will increase their loss. When vegetables are boiled for 5~10 minutes, the loss of vitamin C can reach 70%~90%.

On the other hand, boiling water can destroy the oxidase in vegetables, thus reducing the oxidation of vitamin C. Therefore, control the proper temperature, boil the water before cooking, and only after a short time of boiling, the vitamin loss in vegetables will be less. If you boil vegetables for a long time and turn them from green to yellow, you will lose more vitamins.

In addition to the loss of vitamins in vegetables caused by boiling, cutting before washing will also cause the loss of vitamins and minerals in vegetables from the incision. Therefore, it is necessary to wash vegetables with running water at ordinary times, and do not soak them in water for a long time. After washing, it should be processed and eaten immediately to protect nutrients to the greatest extent.

The effective methods to reduce the loss of vitamins in vegetables are washing before cutting, stir frying quickly, cooking and eating now.

The ingredients of milk, drinks, etc. are complex and should not be used for medicine delivery, otherwise the curative effect may be affected, and even some adverse consequences may occur.

• Milk is rich in proteins, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, which are easy to react with drugs to form stable chromium compounds or insoluble salts, making drugs difficult to absorb;

• Some drugs will be destroyed by these substances, reducing the concentration of drugs in the blood and affecting the efficacy;

• Tetracycline drugs can combine with calcium ions in milk, so that drugs can not be absorbed, and will make teeth gray;

• Alkaloids in traditional Chinese medicine can react with amino acids in milk, making it lose its efficacy, and even produce adverse irritation or allergic reactions.

The sugar in the drink can slow down the excretion of stomach contents and slow down the absorption of drugs. Carbonated drinks will increase the absorption of weakly alkaline drugs, which may indirectly lead to excess; Carbonated drinks can increase gastrointestinal irritation of some drugs and affect the stability of some drugs.

Recently, researchers from Harvard University in the United States published an article on "the impact of healthy lifestyle on life expectancy of American people" in the authoritative academic journal Circulation. This article studies the role of healthy lifestyles in disease prevention and life expectancy in the American population. Healthy lifestyle mainly includes five aspects: non-smoking, maintaining proper weight, moderate intensity/intense physical activity for more than half an hour every day, moderate alcohol consumption and healthy diet.

Among them, healthy diet refers to the use of Alternate Healthy Eating Index, AEHI) scored the dietary status of the volunteers. The top 40% of the volunteers were considered as low risk in the dietary evaluation, and scored 1 point, and 0 point for other situations.

The healthy diet index is mainly scored based on the relationship between food and nutrients and the risk of chronic disease. Its scoring criteria are high intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, polyunsaturated fatty acids and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, low intake of red meat (animal meat) and processed meat products, sugary drinks, trans fatty acids and sodium.

The research results show that compared with the non healthy diet group, the all-cause mortality (sum of deaths caused by various reasons/population in the same period), cancer mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality of the healthy diet group decreased by 37%, 21% and 33% respectively.
