What sweets can you buy for children: experts give recommendations
27.10.2023 16:44
Some parents take a simple approach to buying sweets: they buy what their child asks for.
Others are more categorical, so they try to completely exclude this category of products from the children's menu.
Both approaches are wrong.
In the first case, parents relieve themselves of responsibility and give their children sweets with unverified ingredients. In the second case, adults deprive the child of favorite products, which children need to be pampered with from time to time.
How to choose sweets for your child
Berries and fruits
Experts believe that the main source of sugar for a child should be natural. Berries and fruits cope with this task perfectly.
If you teach your child to eat right from an early age, then there shouldn’t be any problems with this.
The absence of a huge amount of chemicals in the composition
If you are a responsible parent, it is worth studying each specific additive and its mechanism of action on the child's body. In this case, you can exclude the most harmful sweets from the diet.
It is worth giving preference to confectionery products that contain a minimum amount of unknown additives.
Cocoa
If your children love chocolate and candies, then such sweets should also be of the highest quality. They must necessarily contain cocoa.
But you shouldn't buy sweets with palm oil.
